We pick the best Assam and Kenyan leaves to find its full flavour. We love it... we think you will too! For over 100 years our family has been buying and blending the world's finest teas. In 1887 Robert Thompson trained in the art of tea tasting and soon became known for his uncompromising devotion to quality. His search for the finest teas led him to the fertile Assam valley in the foothills of the Himalayas. As the third generation of the Thompson family, we stay true to our tradition of bringing you a better cup of tea. David Thompson, Ross Thompson. We Trade only with tea farmers who share our ideals, treating their workers fairly with proper wages, healthcare & education. - Prepare and Use: Thompsons Top Tips - Use only freshly drawn water (reboiling takes the oxygen out and stops the tea from brewing properly). - Pre-heat the pot or mug. - Make sure the water is boiling when pouring onto the tea ("off the boil" water doe Review: My favourite bagged black tea; Truly a cut above most others - Punjana is apparently the most popular tea in Northern Ireland and has a dedicated fan base throughout Ireland and Great Britain. I’ve seen it called Thompson’s “hero brand”, “flagship” and “bread and butter tea.” It most assuredly lives up to all those titles. All of the Thompson blacks teas are good, and noticeably different from each other, but Punjana original really stands out due to its maltiness and overall depth of flavor. All of their teas are blends of Assam and Kenyan, but in my opinion it is this tea in particular where the Assam is most noticeable and really shines. The tea is strong, with a wonderful upfront maltiness that blends harmoniously with a bold, rich flavor. It’s not as brisk as the Irish Breakfast and lacks its citrusy notes, but it is still very refreshing. This is almost the ideal breakfast tea. It takes milk and sugar very well (takes sugar much better than the Irish breakfast does IMO) and is wonderful with just a splash of milk. I almost always add milk, but if brewed for less time Punjana makes a pleasant cup of straight black tea. The biggest issue, as always, is price in the US, though Punjana Original is noticeably more readily available now and at a lower price then it was even a year ago. Hopefully that trend continues. I don’t see it becoming as affordable as Yorkshire, but I think this is a noticeably better tea. Review: Just like my uncle used to blend.... - I have been trying to find a blend of tea that I hoped would come even close to the body and flavor of my Uncle's tea. I was born a rural section of Ireland and my family had a 'general' store and pub a few miles from Northern Ireland (the pub is still there). My grandfather and a few of my uncles bought the store and pub using the money they had made 'smuggling' tea, coffee and nylon stockings (during WWII) from the Free State (Ireland) to Northern Ireland, which was, and still is, part of Great Britain. Ireland was not a participant in WWII so there were many commodities, due to Germany blockading Great Britain, that were scarce in Northern Ireland, that were easy obtain in the 'Free State'. My family, being hunters and fisherman, knew how to get across the border and back undetected. In the 50's I would watch my Uncle Kevin blending his own tea from great crates that came from exotic places like Ceylon. These crates were fully lined with 'tin foil' to insure the teas' freshness. Uncle Kevin became well known for the quality of his blend, which he sold in thick brown paper bags that I would help him fill by hand. You might say my 'family' has been in the tea business for a good few years. I wound up immigrating to the "States' where I have been, like many an Irishman, an ardent tea drinker for over 70 odd years. Though, truth be told, an occasional cup of coffee has passed these ancient lips. Tried them all with a mixed bag of mostly disappointment and some slight success. Then, on desertcart I found Thompson's Punjana. Bingo. There it was the real thing; robust, deep, dark full bodied, rich and so, so satisfying. Real tea; just like my Uncle used to blend. It was as if I had been drinking grape juice all those years and had suddenly come a upon great Gran Reserva Rioja. Happy days!!!! Thanks, Thompsons. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0170BJGFQ | | Best Sellers Rank | #43,321 in Grocery & Gourmet Food ( See Top 100 in Grocery & Gourmet Food ) #1,360 in Herbal Tea | | Brand Name | Punjana | | Caffeine Content Description | Medium Caffeine | | Container Type | Bag | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (307) | | Diet Type | Vegetarian | | Flavor | Unflavored | | Item Form | Bags | | Item Volume | 16.9 Fluid Ounces | | Item Weight | 8 Ounces | | Manufacturer | Punjana | | Number of Items | 80 | | Part Number | OC45191011 | | Product Benefits | Exceptional Flavor Profile | | Sweetness Description | Natural | | Tea Variety | Assam | | UPC | 721865792342 | | Unit Count | 80 Count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Punjana - **Flavor:** Unflavored - **Item Form:** Bags - **Tea Variety:** Assam - **Unit Count:** 80 Count ## Images ![Thompsons Tea Bags 80 per Pack - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71E19o7L3FL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: What is the expiration date for this product?** A: The last batch of this tea that I have, was purchased by me on 4/3/21. On the very bottom of the packet of the tea appears the date 'NOV 22'. Can't say for certain that this is an expiration date; but I would assume that is since the tea it couldn't have been manufactured in 2022 because I purchased it in 2021 this date is probably a 'best by' or an expiration date. I was born in Ireland 77 years ago and my favorite uncle was a Wine & Spirit, Grain and Tea Merchant. Thompson's is the closest to the tea I drank back in Ireland. If you have chlorine in your water and you are a real tea fanatic boil the water in an open pot and let it sit overnight or use bottled water. Don't worry about a expiration date very much on tea since if is stored properly it has at least a 2 year shelf life before the flavor starts to break down. Thompson's tea is sometimes hard to find and I have found that Amazon is the safest bet in terms of availability. From what I gather, Thompson's can't keep up with the demand for its tea so it is doubtful that it would ever have a chance to get stale or pass an expiration date. No, I don't work for Thompson's but I do love their tea. Hope this of some help. **Q: how does this taste? like lyons, barrys, stash, twinnings etc** A: I think this makes a perfect cup of tea. I normally drink loose tea. I keep this in my desk at work because it's more convenient, but it really is spot on. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ My favourite bagged black tea; Truly a cut above most others *by I***Y on June 9, 2023* Punjana is apparently the most popular tea in Northern Ireland and has a dedicated fan base throughout Ireland and Great Britain.
