Cardamom Tea - Loose Leaf
Product Code : 976E
Our Cardamom Tea is a uniquely flavoured, exotic brew that fans of our Earl Grey or Chai Spice will love. It is actually our best-selling tea worldwide.
To make it, our Tea Masters create a black tea blend featuring lots of quality Kenyan leaves. This gives the brew its crisp but mature character – a perfect backdrop for the uniquely herbal, slightly menthol green cardamom. We use a special cardamom flavour that complements the black teas with its warm aromatic spiciness.
Cardamom is a popular spice across Asia, the Middle East and Europe. In India it’s used in savoury and sweet dishes – from rice biryanis to creamy desserts – while in Turkey and Lebanon it’s ground into coffee. The Scandinavians love it to flavour their baking, while recently, chefs in the UK have been experimenting with cardamom and chocolate. At Ahmad Tea, though, we still think it’s best in a brew, adding its exotic aroma to a nice cuppa.
Our Cardamom Tea makes a versatile brew. Served lightly steeped it’s like a more exotic Earl Grey. Enjoy it like they do in the Middle East by serving it strong, black and with lots of sugar. Alternatively, drink it well brewed with a splash of milk as a rich, soothing cuppa, similar to a warming spiced chai tea.

After 40 years of dunking tea bags, I thought I would give loose leaf a try. Bought a couple of diffusers and away I went. What a difference. I'm converted and not going back!
It takes a bit of trial and error as to how big a tea spoon of leaves to use and how long to steep for - but that's part of the fun.
I was introduced to Ahmad Cardamom tea a few years ago by a customer of mine and was instantly hooked. So now with the loose leaf version, I'm in heaven!
Delicious tea sent with a free selection of tea bags with mixed flavours. Very pleased. Many thanks.
Flavourful with just the right intensity
This wonderful tea has been out of stock all this year so far. It's a crisis. Please bring back.
Thank you am very happy with my purchase
Room for more?
Each and every morning, my favourite cup of tea would be English Breakfast. It’s strong, it’s coloury, it’s got a wonderful nutty flavour that I really do enjoy, and it takes the milk well.

Later on in the afternoon I might try something like a Darjeeling that has the muscatel flavour, or maybe even a high-grown Ceylon, but definitely my favourite brew, and the one that I drink the most of, is English Breakfast.
