Quite outstanding tea
Head and shoulders above the competition - none better, and easily the best value for money.
It really hardly tastes like Assam tea.

Assam Tea is my personal choice of Origin.
I do like Assam loose leaf tea and it is my personal choice of origin. It has a malty and nutty flavour and has a rich red-brown colour. The quality of each batch seems to be consistent. It is leaf tea but is in a granular type form which is referred to as CTC (Crush Tear & Curl). You do get a little dust which incidentally is a grade of leaf following the grading process, but this does not bother me. Just make sure you use boiling water and let it brew to enjoy the perfect cup of tea.
Best loose leaf tea ever.
At last I've found a loose leaf tea that doesn't cost a fortune and tastes lovely! One scoop per person and one for the pot definitely makes the perfect cuppa. Only one improvement I would suggest, please sell it in bigger packs!
It's not "leaf tea", and it tastes awful
There are no tea leaves in this product, so I don't see how they can call it "leaf tea". The product is made of small balls of reconstituted "dust", which is the powder left over when the proper tea leaves have been separated out for sale to serious tea buyers. To be fair, this is exactly the same as Twinings, which is the other leading Assam tea available in most supermarkets. But both this Tesco Finest and the Twinings Assam are equally bad. I will be returning this to Tesco on the grounds that it tastes awful and that "leaf tea" is a misdescription.
Excellent value and flavour.
We only drink tea, no coffe, so having a well flavoured tea is important ti us. We have tried every brand of tea, and this is the best we have tasted. Plenty of flavour, clear and bright,and a decent price as well.
Tesco finest, Assam, Loose Leaf Tea WITHOUT a leaf
The tea consists of very very small balls of tea. In other words the description on the pack stating ' leaf' is totally incorrect and misleading.
So so.
Bought this having recently returned to using loose tea and the box of Twinning Assam tea we bought from the coop had been used up. Although slightly cheaper this is far inferior, particularly as it is much finer in grade and therefore lots of smaller bits get through the infuser that most modern teapots use which end up in your cup. However, the taste is also not on a par and sadly doesn't even compare with that of a decent teabag, so I will not be buying this again, which is a shame as it's the only loose tea that Tesco sell. Given they stock around 30 Twinnings products you would have thought that they would stock one of their loose tea products. Finest, this is not...
