Ahmad Tea 454g Loose Barooti Tea, 16-Ounce Box (Pack of 4) Review

There is a lot of indifferent quality tea out there, and as a sometimes fan of Asian Green, White, and Oolong teas, I should have considered that before I decided that I didn't much like Assam ("English Breakfast Tea"), except as one ingredient in that heady, spicy tea blend called Chai.

Okay, I'm wrong. I just don't like "meh" teas, and even the expensive stuff sold in bookstores and "gourmet" stores can be pretty meh. I take it that Ahmad Barooti Assam tea doesn't exactly position itself as an ultra-premium blend, and it does tastes pretty much like what any other English Breakfast or even Lipton Yellow Box tastes like -- only much, much sweeter and richer, with a depth of flavor unfamiliar to many of us in the U.S. who would hardly recognize something as tea if it doesn't come in a paper pocket with a tag stapled to it.

For newbies to loose tea: use an infuser. Those tiny ones you have to pack to get any in there are of no use; tight packed tea resists water infusion. Some pots have a ceramic infuser, or you could just live with a few leaves in the bottom of your cup -- they won't hurt you a bit. I'm happy steeping this tea at a ratio of 2 tspns (3-4 grams) per pot, with my pot holding about 2.5 cups of water.

As a side note, I'm also fascinated by all the translations to Arabic, Cyrillic (Russian) and what all on the box. I know that this might reflect a bit of snobbery towards my own country, but I take it as a good endorsement when a tea product is loved in many nations, including the top tea-consuming ones. (U.S.A. is more of a coffee country, although I'd say we are not picky enough about our coffee, either -- but that's another conversation.)

Brook Bond (an Indian favorite) was my previous, and perfectly acceptable choice for Chai blending, but now I have (temporarily) set aside my spices and am enjoying Ahmad Barooti on it's own, or chilled with a splash of ginger syrup. (Don't know where to refer you to get that; I make mine by whirring chopped ginger root in a blender with water and sugar. It keeps fresh tasting for a long time, too, in the fridge.)

Nice, nice stuff. Buy loose tea. Shop around. And look for recommendations over trusting a fancy container or a fancy price.
