Rickshaw Black Tea 100 Tea Bags

It's the best black tea you can get.But seller should consider the price a little bit.I know you're like the only guy selling on Amazon, but the entire 100 bag carton package sells for $8 in Tak Shing Hong (TS Emporium). The only reason I'm buying it online right now it's because they are out of stock.So if you're going to sell this at $16.99 a pop, I'm afraid that I won't be a returning customer anytime soon.The product itself though gets 5 stars.

I grew up drinking Rickshaw black tea, its wonderful flavor after adding milk and sugar always bought back some of the fondest childhood memory. About 20 years ago, the Rickshaw black tea bags ordered on line still tasted like what it used to be and the package was a bit different, now not only the package was different the tea bags inside just did not taste the same. I could not smell the freshness of the black tea, it was almost like these tea bags had been in storage for a while. While its taste after brewing is still better than Lipton, yet something was amiss, it no longer had that kick a good black tea would bring. The description here says its origin is India, yet on the box of Rickshaw black tea bags I received, I could not find that, it only says "Blended and packed in China". I thought the best black tea is from Ceylon, may be that is why this tea no longer taste the same.Now I did come up with my own recipe to make a cup of pretty good Milk Tea (of course nothing like those in Hong Kong, where they would blend different types of black tea, boiled them and filtered them with silk stocking, each has its own secret recipe).I put 12 oz of boiling water (just started boiling) into one of each of the following tea bag:One of this Richshaw black tea bagOne Dai Pai Dong Premium Ceylon Teahttps://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00KL4I4Q2/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1One Dilmah Ceylon Supreme Ceylon Tea baghttps://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01A5ADD9Y/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1Let all three tea bags steep in the hot water for 2-3 minutes but no longer than 5 minutes because they would become bitter. Do not use more than one Dai Pai Dong tea bag, it has a bitter after taste if using too many of it or brewing too long.Drain all tea out of all three tea bags back to the cup, carefully so that none of the bags would break.I used to boil these tea bags continually but it broke the tea bags and tea leafs leaked out, therefore unless you have ways to filter out the broken tea leafs, do not boil them.Then add sugar or sweetener (to your taste) (I used Splenda or Stevie) and Half and Half (I used fat free) until the tea turning into the golden brown color of a typicalHong Kong milk tea. Many in Hong Kong are using the Black Cow brand evaporated milk and some used sweetened condensed milk. You can try your own combination.The end result is really not too bad, IMHO. Enjoy!

Good .

It is stated at the back of package that its origin is China, not India or Sri Lanka. It tastes not the same as the original. Probably it is a knock-off with a steep price.

Great black tea for home made milk tea.Thank you to the seller as it was a speedy delivery!

Dont know if the seller sells a scam product, the product does not taste like it used to be:1. It is a fraud, it says from India but actually produced and blended in China.2. Poor packaging: The package is so poor that tea particles came out of bags and looks messy. It definitely will not maintain the flavor.3. Quality is below average and do not taste like Brookbond Ricksaw tea used to be.

So glad to get this via mail order in New Zealand!

Rickshaw Black Tea receives a three-star rating from me, with reservations about its pricing and the disappointment of being shipped in a plastic bag.While the quality of the tea may have its merits, the overpricing raises concerns about the value for money. There are comparable black teas on the market at more reasonable prices, making the cost of Rickshaw Black Tea a notable drawback.Additionally, the decision to ship the tea in a plastic bag rather than a more secure and eco-friendly packaging is disappointing. It not only affects the presentation but also raises concerns about the freshness and condition of the tea upon arrival.
