Tetley Loose Leaf Black Tea 31.75 oz Tin — Full-Bodied, Aromatic English Blend

Tetley Loose Leaf Tea 31.75 ounce is a rich, premium English black tea blend crafted for a full-flavored, aromatic cup every time.

For more than 160 years Tetley has blended fine teas into a signature taste that many households recognize and trust. This loose leaf format delivers a more traditional brewing experience: larger leaves, brighter aroma, and the flexibility to control strength and steeping time. The 31.75 oz tin contains a richer combination of Tetley’s select teas designed to produce a satisfying, full-bodied brew suited to daily enjoyment or social tea moments.

What makes this Tetley blend different from bagged tea?

Loose leaf tea contains larger, less-processed tea leaves than most tea bags, which often use fannings or dust. The leaf size preserves more of the tea’s natural oils and aromatic compounds, so you tend to get a brighter scent and a bolder flavor profile. Brewing loose leaf also lets you adjust leaf quantity and steeping time to match personal taste.

• Full-sized leaves retain essential aroma and flavor oils
• Adjustable strength by changing leaf volume and steep time
• Cleaner infusion with reusable infusers or strainers
• Better visual and sensory brewing ritual

How should I brew Tetley loose leaf for a balanced cup?

Start with fresh, near-boiling water for black tea and pre-warm your teapot or cup to maintain temperature. Use about 1 teaspoon (2–3 g) of loose leaf per 6–8 ounces of water, and steep for 3–5 minutes depending on desired strength. Strain immediately after steeping to prevent over-extraction and bitterness.

• Water temperature: 200–212°F (near boil)
• Leaf amount: ~1 teaspoon per 6–8 oz water
• Steep time: 3–5 minutes; longer for stronger taste
• Optional: add milk, sweetener, or a lemon slice to taste

Where does Tetley source and blend these teas?

Tetley combines teas from multiple origins to achieve a consistent, recognizable profile customers expect. The blend mixes carefully chosen black teas to create depth, aroma, and a smooth finish. Each batch is selected to meet quality and flavor standards established by Tetley over many decades.

• Blended from premium choice black teas
• Quality selection process for consistent flavor
• Crafted to produce a full-bodied, aromatic infusion

How should I store this 31.75 oz tin to keep tea fresh?

Keep the loose leaf tea in a cool, dry, and dark place away from strong odors and direct sunlight. Ensure the tin is tightly sealed after each use to limit exposure to air and moisture. Proper storage preserves aroma and prevents the leaves from drying out or absorbing surrounding odors.

• Seal the tin after every use
• Store away from heat sources and sunlight
• Avoid storing near spices or strong-smelling foods
• Use within recommended time for peak freshness
