Disappointed with the quality Review by ['Tealess in Seattle']
The taste of this tea was fine, but I wasn't blown away. However the quality was very low. very small particles of tea and an unacceptable amount of tea dust made it an unpleasant cup. I used my fine mesh strainer and not only did a lot of tea dust fall through, as well as a lot of fannings migrated to the outside of the strainer! The overall leaf size was what you might expect in a low-medium quality tea bagI'll need to call customer service to see what they can do.

I was hesitant to try this one but so glad that I did. It has a really rich taste. It's my favorite thing to wake up to. I need to go back soon as I am almost out!

This tea stands out. Multiple notes. Rich flavour. Great both in the morning and in the afternoon. Will drink it everyday.
Posted on 2013-04-07Perfect black tea blend Review by tally
This is a great blend -- to me, it tastes like the quintessential black tea. It has a neutrality yet depth of flavor, and isn't at all bitter, tannic, or harsh. I think it makes a perfect cup of light-to-medium black tea, and it wears well, making it great for both every day use and special occasion. We love it!

My daughter gave me this tea as a thank you gift and I love it. It is even better than the Murchie's Afternoon Blend Tea and that tea is stellar!

One of my recent favourites. I received a tin as a gift and we're certainly buying more. Everytime time I brew a pot, my husband comments, "that's very good tea!"

Murchies has a big winner with Diamond Jubilee, it has now become my favorite! Mellow yet rich, so pleasing to the tea palate.

I am thoroughly enjoying this tea blend. If you like the Murchie's Afternoon Tea, you'll like this too.

I bought a tin of this tea to try it and am very pleasantly surprised. My husband, who never varies in his tea, is extremely impressed with this tea. It is well worth the price paid. We will definitely purchase it again.

Flavour Profile Guide
Tea and coffee tasting is a very individual, multi-dimensional experience: one person’s perfect cup can be too strong or weak, too brisk or watery for the next person. At Murchie’s, we believe that the best tea or coffee is the one that YOU like the best! We use the following flavour profile guides to help compare our teas and coffees within a relative scale.
Tea Strength Ratings
This rating method indicates the strength of flavour each tea has when brewed according to our brewing guide.
RATING |
RATING PROFILE |
|
|
Light/Delicate: Very light in colour and delicate in flavour | |
|
Medium: Medium-light cup with slightly fuller cup | |
|
Medium-Strong: Medium-dark cup, medium body, and full flavour without harshness | |
|
Strong: Full body, rich cup, takes milk well | |
|
Very Strong: Rich, dark cup with very full, strong flavour and briskness |
Coffee Ratings
We rate the flavour properties of our coffees along two dimensions: roast and body.
Roast is simply a result of how long and how hot the beans have been roasted, which can be seen in the colour of the finished bean, and typically results in general flavour traits:
| Light Roast | More acidity, brightness and a slight pucker | |
| Medium Roast | Slightly richer flavours, some acidity, enhanced creaminess | |
| Dark Roast | Distinctive roasted flavour, sometimes notes of toasted sugar or charcoal |
Body is the term used to describe how the brewed coffee feels in your mouth:
| Light Body | Easy to drink with little lingering flavour, ‘thin’ or ‘clean’ feeling on the palate | |
| Medium Body | Heavier, creamier mouth-feel with more lingering flavour | |
| Full Body | Rich, full-mouth feeling: hits all of the palate and lingers |
Tea Brewing Guide
Different types of teas should be brewed according to certain times and water temperatures to bring out their best flavours. Use this guide as a starting point, and then experiment until you find the perfect brewing method for your favourite tea.
Based on approximately one level teaspoon (2.5g) of loose tea or one tea bag per 6-8 ounce (180-240ml) cup. For stronger flavour, add more tea. Brewing for longer may increase the strength of the tea, but will likely also cause bitterness.
Brew times shown in minutes.
Coffee Brewing Guide
The simplest methods for brewing coffee are drip coffee, pour over and French press. These guidelines are a starting point; modify the ratio of coffee to water, the grind, and brewing time to your taste. If your coffee is not strong enough, increase the proportion of coffee per cup of water, grind the beans finer, or allow them to brew longer – or any combination of these factors. If your coffee is too strong, simply do the opposite.
Drip coffee or pour over method: hot water is gradually poured over coffee grounds and slowly drips through
- Fine to medium grind coffee
- 1.5 to 2.5 tablespoons of coffee per cup of water
- Coarse grind coffee
- 1 to 1.5 tablespoons of coffee per cup (e.g. 4-6 tbsp for a 4-cup French press)
- Pour about 1/3 of the water over the coffee grinds; wait about 30 seconds and then pour in the rest
- Wait 4-5 minutes, then push down the plunger to separate the grounds from finished coffee, and enjoy!
