I have spent years looking for the best black tea. I have sampled all sorts of black tea both from online companies and in person i in the US, UK, France, and Ireland. Without hesitation I can say that Zealong’s black tea is my favorite . It is so flavorful, rich and yet light. It is wonderful with milk or without milk. It needs no sweetener . I find myself looking forward to that first morning cup the night before. Yes, it is that good.
Recently, I purchased the breakfast tea. It too is an excellent tea. I still prefer the black tea, but I reach for the breakfast tea when I want to make a chai tea or if I just want a cup with a slightly darker, slightly smoky taste. I don’t like smoky teas but thie smoky flavor is very slight and just adds to the complexity of the tea. I am still experimenting with this tea but I think it will be perfect iced in the summer with a dash of lemon and lavender honey .
I also appreciate the little notes tucked into my orders. They are not necessary but I love reading them. This company cares about its customers and the quality of its products. Rare these days.
Dear Patricia,
Your beautiful review absolutely made my day—thank you so much for taking the time to share it! I don’t even have the words to tell you how much it means to hear that Zealong’s Black tea has become your favorite after all your years of tea tasting across the world. That is the highest compliment we could ever receive!
I also loved reading how you're enjoying the Breakfast tea—it really is a wonderful counterpoint to the Black. A bit bolder, a touch more robust, and with just the slightest hint of smokiness, it’s a blend that offers real depth and character. I’m so glad to you are enjoying it as well!
And thank you, too, for your kind words about the notes we include. It’s such a joy getting to connect with our customers in a small but personal way. Knowing that those little touches are noticed and appreciated is truly encouraging.
We're so grateful to have you as part of the Taria community, and thank you again!
I have been drinking tea for about 3 decades and was SO happy to have talked to the people at this company. I have severe allergies and this is the PUREST tea with the best flavor you can buy anywhere. I'm hooked and I am so grateful for a company that has these standards of purity, quality and health in mind for it's customers. The Black tea is my favorite:-)
Hi Carey! Thanks so much for your kind words - it was so great to talk with you and hear more about your story and be able to share about Zealong too. I'm so thrilled to hear that you are enjoying the Black tea. It's such a beautiful tea - smooth with a sweet finish! So grateful that the extra care and effort Zealong puts into purity and quality makes a meaningful difference for you. Thanks again, Carey. It was a privledge visiting with you and I'm grateful you are a part of the Taria/Zealong family!
I’m obsessed with this tea and totally addicted to it. And I’m a bit of a tea snob 🥸. And the customer service is the best, they make me feel like so special and always taken care of. Their customer service and the quality of the product made me a raving fan, and I keep raving about them to my friends and clients. Such a great product and company. Highly recommend!
Elena! Thank you so much for taking the time to let us know! I feel like I know you even though we’ve never met, and I’ve genuinely enjoyed all of our interactions. I’m so glad you’re loving Zealong’s teas, and I can’t thank you enough for sharing them with your friends and clients. Your support and encouragement mean more than you know. So grateful for you!
I use your black tea and green tea to make my husband’s iced tea that he drinks throughout the day. He really likes the taste and he has tried a lot of different teas, so that’s says lot.
Thanks so much for sharing this, Louise! My family also drinks Zealong hot and iced, and we feel the same way - once you get used to how amazing Zealong tastes, it’s hard to go back to other teas. (I have to pack my own tea bag when I travel! Ha!)
I’m thrilled to hear your husband enjoys it, especially since he’s tried so many teas. That means a lot.
Thank you again for taking the time to leave such a kind review, and I hope you both have a wonderful holiday season!
I purchased tea for a work trip I was going on. It's a favorite among my coworkers. We love the clean ingredients, the sustainable packaging, and the beautiful package it comes in!! It's a great personal choice but also would make a wonderful gift. I'm happy to recommend this tea to all my friends and family.
Britni!!! So happy to read this. The clean ingredeints and sustainable farming practices are definitely what drew me to Zealong back in 2023. I'm so gradeful you (and your coworkers) are enjoying it as well! Thanks so much for taking the time to share your thoughts. I'm super grateful!
