440 Tea Bags

Strong English tea, no doubt about it. No funky after taste, either. Just bold and delicious and the best pick me up. It's my preferred brand and I've been drinking English teas for a good 25 years now. I've been known to clear the shelf at TJMaxx when the boxes of 40 and 80 pop up. Imagine my surprise and delight when I discovered that I could get 440 bags from Amazon!!! If you buy the 440 of London Cuppa, then please keep your tea in a tin, to preserve the flavour and don't ever store it in the freezer. It will moisten and mold there.

If you like a full bodied Black Tea, this is the best I have found. Great as-is or with milk or a slice of lemon, hot or cold. In summer, I brew then add fresh mint, Amazing!! Make your own Chai tea by adding spices. When the tea is Excellent, you can't go wrong with adding your own twists. If you brew and pour over ice, the flavor is not lost. Excellent Tea, Great Value. Cheers, Maria

Have loved this tea for over a year, but this last bag, purchased early January 2024 is truly horrible. So disappointing. My entire family noticed the difference in taste.

I have previously described the 80-teabag retail boxed version of London Cuppa Tea Box - 80 Teabags as having a "bold taste, strong yet smooth with a faint floral undertone. It's best with milk and sugar." This version features 440 teabags in a Ziploc plastic bag. It's a lot of tea to order at one time, and if you do not consume prodigious quantities in a timely fashion, you may find that the teabags become somewhat stale before you can finish off all the bags. The teabags in the 440-size appear to be a little smaller than the teabags in the 80-size, which makes me suspect they have less tea in them. Having said that, this is still an awesome tea for those who like the strong black quintessentially British variety.

I had received a box of this tea at the Holidays and totally loved it!!! I had some left when the bagged version arrived.. There seemed to be a difference in the type of tea in the teabag between the two ???. Fine powder in the bagged version. More chunky grains in the boxed version. Taste much the same. I preferred the boxed version best.

So I really have been drinking London cuppa tea for years now. When they changed over from round bags to square bags it has totally thrown me off. I kept thinking the square bags were not the same and that there must be a difference. Today while cleaning out my tea cupboard I found another couple bags of the round London Cuppa I decided to do a side-by-side comparison to put my mind at ease or to confirm that they were different. Now mind you I am no scientist. I put each bag in a mason jar added the same amount of water and gave it a full five minutes to determine the outcome. In the first minute the round bag was noticeably different and darker brew. I thought for sure it was a positive test For trickery. I let it brew the full five minutes and there was no difference. I am thinking that the shape of the bag affects the way a brews and then just giving it a little bit more time makes them equal in color. The round on flavor comparison was a little more bitter but that could be that the bag is older. I did like the bitter flavor more and it does remind me of they way the use to be. Maybe the tea leaves are nicer and kinder in the square bags. I do prefer angst ridden bitter leaves they match my soul so much better. I understand why they went to square bags there’s less waste of tea bag material. I do so for some reason still miss the round ones though.

Disappointed in this large multi pack. Tea does not come in round bags like I had received in the past, they are square and just piled into a big plastic bag. I also found the flavor different, not as strong as previous London Cuppa Tea I have had. I have to use two teabags to get a strong enough flavor. I would not buy this again.

I am a London Cuppa loyal. I first found the tea at a local discount outlet. It was the loose tea tin and priced for only a few dollars. I was hooked! This is by far my favorite basic, strong black tea. A drop of honey and milk and I'm in heaven. It was well worth the non-discounted price (although slightly shocked at the difference) available on Amazon. This large bag is the most economical option if you love the product. However, I've purchased three separate orders (each lasts about a year for us) with three different experiences. The first was perfect. Each bag intact and the expiration about a year out. In the second order about a sixth of the bags were not sealed properly. Annoying, but I typically use loose leaf so no biggie. The third order (March 2014) was terrible. Most of the bags were not sealed properly (about 95%) and the expiration date was four months out. For a cafe that goes through tea like mad this would not be an issue, except the broken bags preventing convenient single-serve options. For me, who enjoys them slowly with friends over a year it was frustrating. The larger bag/outer packaging was ripped causing them to be slightly stale. The constant emptying of broken bags into a brew basket or tossing a seemingly good bag into a cup, only to find tea chunks floating in my cup, was the worst part. Had I noticed the rip and not expected a few bad bags, it would have been sent back ASAP. As the bad bag count climbed, so did my disappointment. I am back to place my fourth yearly order; however I will take the kick in the wallet and order the smaller boxes. I'm not sure if the company is having the issue or this particular packaging changed but I will not be accidentally dumping scoops worth of tea on the counter, floor or down the drain again. This lovely tea is far too good for that!
