Question 1

is this "full" leaf or is it mainly cut/broken pieces?

Accepted Answer

It is standard loose-leaf tea, which sometimes gets quite broken during any compamy's processing procedures. This ToH Assam is less broken than many others I've tried. I've been drinking it for years.

The tea bags contain what is called "fannings" in the tea trade.

Remember, this is hardly a premium or "superior" tea -- not for that price! However, it's a very enjoyable, malty black tea that pairs well with a little cream or milk. Taylor's is a consistently reliable brand, and this Assam is always refreshing for a tea break.

Question 2

Does this Tin version taste better than the cheaper Box version?

Accepted Answer

For me cheaper box was better,probably,because there is a lot in one bag,therefore its strong.

Question 3

Does the tea have an expiration? How long does it last?

Accepted Answer

I bought the Taylors' imperial gunpowder tea just over a month ago and the expiration date is about a year from my purchase date.

Question 4

Tea leaves or tea dust?  A different brand i recently purchased was way to fine for my infuser so I am looking for something better.

Accepted Answer

I Checked The Taylors Of Harrogate - Scottish Breakfast Which Appears To Be Leaves. Towards The Bottom, The Leaves Are Smaller Amongst Tea Dust. ( Perhaps Due To The Shipping And Settling Of Contents ? ) In Comparing The Scottish Breakfast With Twinings Of London - Prince Of Wales And Lady Grey, The Leaves Of Twinings Are A Bit Larger. Davidsons Tea - Earl Grey, Has Rather Nice Sized Leaves. ( All Of Them, However, Have Dust And Smaller Particles Near The Bottom Of The Container. ) Since I Do Have A Strainer, I Do Not Worry About The Dregs That Manage To Get Through The Infuser. About Any Loose Leaf Tea Will Work Fine For Me And My Family. I Truly Hope This Is Helpful To Thee ! : ) Hope You Find Exactly What Suits Your Needs ! Regards And Best Wishes ~Timothy
