FGO Organic Dandelion Root Loose Tea, Cut and Sifted, Caffeine Free, 16oz Bulk Resealable Bag, Packaging May Vary (Pack of 1)

I recently purchased this green tea and have been thoroughly impressed. The packaging was secure and sealed well, preserving the freshness of the tea leaves. Upon opening, I was greeted with a vibrant, earthy aroma that immediately signaled good quality.The flavor is smooth and mellow with just the right amount of grassy notes—not too bitter, even when steeped a bit longer. I’ve been drinking it daily, and it’s been a wonderful addition to my morning routine. I also appreciate that it’s organic and ethically sourced, which gives me even more confidence in the brand.Highly recommend for any green tea lovers or those just starting to explore loose-leaf teas. I’ll definitely be repurchasing!

I've tried several brands of rooibos tea, and this one from FGO stands out. The flavor is noticeably smoother and richer — not bitter or earthy like some others I've had. Most importantly, it doesn't have that tobacco-like taste that sometimes sneaks into lower-quality rooibos. It doesn't taste like I picked up my grandmas Pepsi can full of old cigarettes. I drink it plain or with a bit of honey, and it's perfect either way. Great quality and value for the amount you get. Highly recommend if you're looking for a clean, naturally sweet rooibos tea.

Review for: Organic Earl Grey Loose Leaf Tea 16oz bag (1pound), bought September 2020.The underlying black tea is a good mix of Keemun and Assam. The Keemun makes for a lighter tea that does not drown out the Bergamotte oil, or force an amount that makes the tea taste soapy. Twinings itself has replaced most of the real Bergamotte oil with extract and their website doesn't say how much real Bergamotte is left. I still like Twinings Earl Grey, it's been my family tea for more than half a century, but knowing that this organic product uses only the real thing (2% organic Bergamotte content, as per ingredient list) is an extra star in my book. The tea that arrived was super fresh with an aromatic scent (expiry date end of January 2023), which is important as the bergamotte oil fragrance and tea aroma will evaporate over time.The taste is a delicious, light to medium strength Earl Grey, great on its own or (for lighter taste) mixed with 1/3rd Darjeeling. If you are used to soapily strong Earl Grey variants or those made with Assam alone, you may find it too light. If you like Twinings, you'll probably like it alot.I have not been able to do a direct taste comparison side by side, as I ran out of Twinings before this arrived, but as I am sitting here, sipping a cup of the hot, dark-golden liquid with a small teaspoon of cane sugar, tasting a well balanced mix of light black tea and bergamotte oil, I am letting out a satisfied sigh. I am finding this one to be an excellent substitute.Update 2021: Had 3 1-pound-bags of this in the meantime, and all of them were perfectly aromatic and tasty.Preparation instructions:Serve in thin-lipped bone-china cups of approx. 6oz size (better sensory experience than mugs for delicate teas, see image).Use 2 tea pots and a straining sieve: one pot to steep the leaves and another to strain the brewed tea into, in order to get the leaves out before they turn bitter.Bring 3 cups / 24 oz of water to boil, pour over 6g (0.22oz) Earl Grey tea leaves while still boiling. The leaves should float freely in a pre-warmed tea pot. For less or more tea, just multiply or divide water and tea by the same amounts.Strain after no longer than 3 minutes of steeping through a tea-straining sieve into the serving tea pot. (I am setting a timer to 2:40 min brewing time and don't stress over 20 seconds more). When I strain the tea, I either stirr the leaves right before, or let the leaves drip from the sieve after straining, to get all the full, concentrated tea. (if you accidentally steeped it too long, you can try decanting without stirring the leaves and it might save you from a bitter experience). I drink it with a little cane sugar and a piece of bread with something sweet on it, and thereafter, my brain starts working. If you are a Trekkie and have not tried what Picard's favorite drink really is about when properly prepared, this is it. If yours is bitter, you either use too much tea or you let it steep too long.Oh, and I never use tea bags for black tea. It is filled with the tea dust that is breaking off from the properly dried tea leaves, the leftover after the leaves have been packaged. That tends to make for an overpoweringly strong tea, plus the dust tends to seep into the tea itself. Either that or (with luxury versions=filled with proper leaves) it does not have enough room for giving off its taste. Free floating is the way to go.If you want to avoid the garbage getting all wet, just leave the used leaves to drip and dry in the sieve over the pot you used for steeping before throwing them away.Disclaimer: this is the first time ever I bought this product. I have picked and paid it myself and have nothing whatsoever to do with either FGO, Amazon or Twinings. This is a pure tea enthusiast's review article and I hope you enjoyed it and your tea.

I drink tea Earl Grey every day using a Breville tea maker. I like the bigger leaves as they stay in the infuser basket. I do think the bergamot is less pronounced in this blend than some others I’ve tried but the tea is fresh and this is true loose leaf grade tea, not broken leaf or fanning grade. It’s good tea at a good value.

I recently tried the FGO Organic Japanese Matcha + Green Tea, and I’m so impressed! This tea blends the vibrant, smooth flavor of matcha with the refreshing qualities of green tea, making it a perfect drink for any time of day.First, the taste is excellent—smooth and rich without being too bitter, which can sometimes happen with matcha. The green tea adds a nice balance, making it light and refreshing. Whether you enjoy it hot or iced, it’s the perfect pick-me-up. I also love that the tea bags are individually wrapped, which keeps the tea fresh for longer.The organic certification is another great aspect of this tea. It's reassuring to know that the tea is grown without harmful chemicals or pesticides, and you can taste the quality in every sip. Plus, the matcha adds an extra boost of antioxidants and natural energy, making it a great choice for those who enjoy a more mindful caffeine fix.What really sets this product apart for me, though, is the eco-conscious packaging. The tea bags are made from biodegradable material, which is a huge plus for sustainability. As someone who’s trying to reduce waste, I really appreciate that FGO is mindful of the environment, while still delivering a top-notch product.The 20-count box is perfect for daily use, and I find myself reaching for a cup of this tea multiple times a week. It’s become my go-to for both a relaxing break and an energizing boost, especially when I need a healthier alternative to coffee.Overall, I highly recommend the FGO Organic Japanese Matcha + Green Tea if you're looking for a flavorful, organic tea with the added benefit of eco-friendly packaging. It’s high-quality, refreshing, and perfect for anyone who loves matcha or green tea. I’ll definitely be buying this again!Let me know if you find this helpful, I hope it is! I put a lot of effort in writing these reviews so it would be greatly appreciated!

This organic jasmine green tea has just enough rich jasmine fragrance to make it utterly enjoyable. The green tea chosen for this product is smooth, substantial and delicious. The color, flavor and taste of the tea is exceptional. I will order this product again.
