Marks & Spencer – Fair-trade Extra Strong Tea Bags
The tea in the Marks & Spencer extra strong blend comes from fair-trade certified tea gardens in India and small holder farms in Kenya. The combination of full bodied tea from the Assam-Valley and bright golden tea from the highlands of the Rift Valley in Kenya gives perfect rich flavoured blend that is ideal for drinking at any time of day. Marks & Spencer believes it is important to guarantee farmers in developing countries fair terms and a fair deal, so that they can enjoy a better standard of living.

Disappointed
Cons: no flavor
"I tried the tea and was so disappointed, nothing special. In fact there was no flavor at all, it is just a dark tea."

Quality Tea
Pros: superb flavour
Cons: not always available on costco.ca
"I have tried any number of loose leaf strong teas and even though this is bagged, it is still superior to most. When compared to similar quality loose leaf tea ($/g), the price is not out of line. This is now my preffered standard black tea."

Expired Best Before Date
"I was very excited to see the tea available again online. When I received the package, I was very disappointed to see that the best before date was a week away, I would have to drink 240 teas in a weeks time, highly unlikely!"

Simply a treat !
Pros: delicious tea, real english tea !, very fast delivery
Cons: none !
"I used to bring this tea in my suitcases too ! To Paris and Boston when I lived there, and now to Canada. We go through this at a good clip as we drink a lot of tea and this makes such a good cuppa. Not that much more expensive than the sawdust they sell as tea here in Canada ;-) -- and worth every single penny. Delivery is within a day or two of order, and we've never had an issue with the "use by" dates - they are always at least 3-6 months away."

Marks and Spencers Extra Strong Tea
Pros: delivery great
Cons: a bit pricey
"Being Scottish I love my tea and I was delighted to find out that Costco online carried this product. I am very satisfied with the tea as first thing in the morning it is just what I need. Price was a bit high but obviously I was prepared to pay it as a treat for myself."

Good enough but not my favourite!
"Neither my husband nor myself are English, but we drink a lot of tea and have drank tea in many other countries. We used to get Tesco brand teas for boxed teas and I much prefer those. This tastes to me like a combination of Tetley and Red Rose, but a slightly stronger flavour- however it's not REALLY that strong, just not a weak cup of tea.
I am a bit disappointed that all three boxes they sent expire in February, since this won't be the one I reach for most often it might not be done before it's stale."

Great Strong Teabags
Pros: great strong full flavour taste
"I've always grown up with strong English tea bags. The orange Pekoe tea bags in Canada just don't cut it. The first cup a tea from these tea bags was great!! They're nice, strong and full of flavour. Would buy them again."
