English Breakfast Tea

I have been drinking your tea for the past 20 years, enjoying the taste, knowing it’s coming from Australia
When you have now changed it, the quality and taste has changed and not to improving the taste, presuming to improving your margin lines
I am now going to find another brand of tea, has anyone have any suggestions to a person who drinks up to 10 cups a tea a day?

We loved Australian gown Nerada Tea. But it seems it’s now gone & been replaced but a look-a-like new product labeled English Breakfast.
It’s inferior in taste & on the tagged bags even the bags break from the string.
Please Please Please Nerada - bring back Australian “grown” tea. We all loved it & this new English Breakfast range grown “who knows where” is a big step backwards.
As people discover the change in flavour, the reduction in quality & the fact it’s no longer Australian you will loose your long time customer base.
It’s a sad day….

I have emailed nerada twice advising the tags on their teabags lose touch with the bag so you need to scoop the brewed bag out. No reply. No acknowledgement in any form. Obviously don't care about customer feedback

I hadn't tried this tea before and refreshed my memory about it's Aussie history recently. My daughter drinks the Rooibos and Vanilla which became a favourite during her pregnancy. I love English Breakfast and most black teas, however I've found even the most expensive brands tasteless and bitter for a while now. A couple of weeks ago I saw this online and ordered some in my shopping. I couldn't believe it, the full rich flavour that I love. A realistic price for 200 teabags which are generous and make a great brew in my 480ml bone china breakfast mug. I love it and I will always buy this now and be consuming more because the taste is satisfying and so is the Aussie grown story and price. 5 stars!

A nice drop of tea now???¿.

I discovered the magic of Nerada Black Tea within a week of immigrating to Australia 25 yrs ago, and have never looked back. Returning to live in the States several years later, I filled my luggage with Nerada, a tradition that has continued with each return trip to Australia, until this month. My disappointment of finding only Nerada English Breakfast was visceral. The fresh, smooth joy of a Nerada cup has been replaced with the sadness of bog-standard bitterness, advertised on the website as 'brisk & full-bodied." Please, Nerada, return to your calm, Australian tea roots, and leave the acidic, foreign leaves to the others. [If possible, I would give zero stars.]

Mostly because it was ALL Australian grown tea and it was pesticide free. Now that for a time, I am in a place where the ONLY option is Bushells - which in my opinion is all foreign garbage in polluted and pesticide soaked plantations, I am resorting to my cinammon and tumeric powders for a cup of tea... But with the labelling issues, people should NOT have to play games with the fine print - it WAS an Australian grown tea - 100% and buying more of it - "Hey hang on a second - this is now and inferior foreign tea"....

Please bring back your locally grown pesticide free English Breakfast

I had been buying Nerada tea from Coles and Wollies for over 10 years. It was the strongest black tea on the supermarket shelf, providing a super powerful caffeine hit. The taste and aroma was so intense and fresh, unlike any other tea available. I recommended this tea to British, Italian, French, Taiwanese and other nationalities I worked with who were newly arrived in Australia and some of them even told me it was the best and strongest tea they had ever tasted. Since removing pesticide free and 100% Australian grown from your label and including fine print "made in Australia from imported and local ingredients", the tea is much weaker, far inferior flavour with almost no scent coming from the box of tea. It is not fresh and is not high quality tea anymore.

I used to love Nerada Australian Tea - but that's now been discontinued. I had stocked up on a few boxes of it, and now that's all run out, I've had to switch to the English Breakfast. How disappointing - it's not Australian product any more, doesn't taste anywhere near as nice as the Australian product, and every time I brew a cup, the teabag string breaks. What's the point of having the string if you can't use it? I won't be purchasing any tea from Nerada again, which is such a pity because I always liked to support Australian.

Review after review going back over a year regarding the tags falling off, but you haven't done anything about it. Why are we paying a premium when the darn things fall off, making a mess everywhere? Have you guys hired Alan Joyce??

You have just made the worst business decision by changing the tea to "English Breakfast" and more importantly that it is no longer 100% Australian Tea. You have lost a longtime customer.

Refreshing, crisp flavour and delish!

I have supported Aussie grown tea by Nevada ever since it came on the market, however for over a year the tea bags frequently detach from the tag and string. As this has never been rectified, I have lost patience with the mess and inconvenience this causes and could no longer recommend or use this product.

Have to agree with so many others that the move to English Breakfast tea is a bad one. The taste has gone to the dogs. Terrible flavour and taste. I know you need to be profitable and I would be prepared to pay more for the quality of Australian grown black tea as I’m sure others would too.

The reason I started buying Nerada was for the pesticide free and local tea. The new ones are just not the same. Now there is nothing to distinguish Nerada from all the other imported chemically sprayed teas. Please bring back the pesticide free teabags! The rest of the range is organic so at least having a pesticide free tea fits with the brand. Please bring back the pesticide free teabags!

I have bought the Nerada Black Tea for many years however since the new English Breakfast Variety has replaced it I am not enjoying it. It is not as strong and does not have the lovely rich flavour. I won't be buying it again.

I have loose tea hubby uses in his teapot .English breakfast 200 bags Chai tea ,Green tea ,green tea and ginger and lemon and Myrtle and Chamomile tea .So I call these my winter warmers.For years our family has used Chamomile tea left to get luke warm to bath sore eyes where pigs have started and they get fixed overnight .I havent used all my teas as they are for different things when need but I am very happy with the ones I have used already .The green tea and binger is wonderful Sandra

Will you produce pesticide free English Breakfast Tea again?

I have been drinking Nerada tea for a number of years and originally switched brands because it was grown in Australia and very importantly pesticide free. I am very sad to see that the new boxes of English breakfast are not pesticide free and not grown in Australia. I am sad to say I will be looking for a new brand.

Love this tea, great taste and value for money.

Just bought my last box of Nevada tea bags. Frustrating experience. The strings always come off. Need to take care of this problem as it seems there are a lot of customers out there that feel the same.

Been a Nerada black tea drinker for some years. Tried all the other brands and couldn't find anything strong or flavourful enough.
Nerada was a happy discovery!!
I've been drinking less tea for the past months, also trying some decaf varieties.
Decided to go back to the old faithful Nerada. I had seen that the branding had changed to 'English Breakfast', but I'd guessed it was a marketing ploy to increase the price.
Opened a new box, bags appear smaller, made a large brew and needed to use two bags whereas prevision one would suffice. It also doesn't taste like I remember.
What have you done Nerada??

Shame bag tags fall off annoying and dangerous for the elderly

We have bought Nerada Tea Bags (200s - no tags) for a very long time. We have tried others when Nerada was not stocked. My wife doesn't infuse for long (no milk or sugar - & some times, no bag), and I use hers about 20% of the time, and a fresh bag other times (milk & sugar). Neither of us have noticed any change in the taste, and find it is still the best value available. Sorry to read it's not produced in Queensland any more. At least it is still an Australian company.

I love your tea but with your latest batch's the tag falls off the bag it seems to be glued on which is no good, very messy when it falls off.

Please change back.

I have been a long time buyer of Australian grown Nerada tea but this new "English Breakfast" product is different and does not taste as pleasant. What is in it? I wont buy it anymore.

Discovered Nerada tea a couple of years ago, used to enjoy it. Not now - weak, and the tags fall off too often. Back to Dilmah.

My family noticed the black tea had changed flavour . Your original black tea was so refreshing with the best flavour. Your original tea was organic. Another reason so many people loved it. Why change a great tea for a horrible one. Why? I won't be buying this tea anymore. Been drinking it for 4o years. Maybe you should have asked old customers why they drank it.
