Review on 🍵 100-Count Box of Stash Tea's Double Bergamot Earl Grey Black Tea Bags by Anthony Boylan

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Is Stash lowering the quality of its product?

We often buy Stash Tea Double Bergamot Earl Grey. Usually 6 boxes of 18 tea bags at a time. We've always loved rich flavors. This time we bought a box of 100 tea bags. You'll save a few bucks, but it's definitely a no-frills package. We opened Revane's corrugated box and found that the tea bags were literally just thrown into the empty box. We immediately put them in metal canisters. Although it's still the same tea, we've noticed that "foil" tea bag envelopes have changed in the last year or two from foil with a shiny satin outer layer to a paper envelope with a silver interior. We both agree that the tea is looking a bit stale. It's not as vibrant as it used to be. I don't think the corrugated box it comes in helps. These changes appear to have contributed to the decline in product quality. Who knows how long they've been in camp. Also, we didn't count the tea bags but I think there were 100 in the pack although I doubt anyone stood by and counted them.
