 Very nice tea - But this is not a good deal!Feb 09, 2010
By P. Forbes-Smith

I have enjoyed this tea for some time, and as I am British, I know my tea. I highly recommend the tea.
I usually buy this at World Market (Cost Plus), and they used to sell it at about $4.99 for the 80 bag size. My local store is currently out of stock as I believe Williamson Teas in the UK are changing the packaging (and perhaps the price?). Anyway, you can see that this is not a good deal even if the shipping was free, but these people (not Amazon) charge over $10 to ship from FL. USPS Priority Mail is $5.55 across the country for a 1 lb package (package of 80 tea bags plus packing is < 1 lb.). Outrageous! - they are marking up their shipping as well as the tea! Most of their (again not Amazon) other British products are also over-priced.
I recommend you look elsewhere.

I have enjoyed Lifeboat Tea ever since my other favorite Jackson of Piccadilly was discontinued. I now find it ever increasingly hard to find Lifeboat. What will I do?
Please get more or recommend one just like it !!!! I like the strong flavor of the black tea wonderful. Many tea's i try are wimpy. I am getting very low, I hope your "notify" pops up soon that you have more in.
Many Thanks Carol
Outstanding cup of strong black teaJan 17, 2012
By M. Harris
I love a very strong, unsweetened (though I live deep in South Eastern Sweet Tea territory) cup of black tea.
I love this tea because you can brew a very strong cup if you like - but without any worries about over-brewing bitterness and such (such as with Typhoo et all) It also doesn't "stack" poorly. I.e. I brew 6-8 bags in my kettle and cut it half to the fridge container (so figure 4 bags per pot) and the extra strength from multiple bags as well as extra time it still comes out very clean strong tea.
As in drop the bags into your kettle and in five minutes you're done. Forget and leave them in for 60 minutes? No problem - barely a difference (I'm making iced tea so I don't hover over or immediately pour after normal steep time).
All in all - an outstanding cup of black tea. And as strong and you like it. Buy it by the 12 pack as it's somewhat variable in availability.

Ohhh this tea!!Jul 29, 2011

Oh this tea..is soo smooth and nice...it's heady and thick and rich tasting. The company donates proceeds to the rain forest and to the Royal Navy Life Saving Organization.
It's brews up rich and full, it's the best tea I have ever had. I love, love PG Tips as well, but Life Boat is my favourite cuppa tea!!
Finally, Lifeboat Tea is Available Again!Jul 17, 2011
By Chloe
I discovered Lifeboat Tea about four years ago--first purchased it at Trader Joe's and then they stopped carrying it, but I found it at World Market. Then World Market stopped carrying it, but I found it at Amazon for a reasonable price and ordered four boxes. The price for the tea at the one shop at amazon.com was high, so I started drinking another brand of tea, but longed for Lifeboat. Now I see that Lifeboat Tea is available again and the price is reasonable. I love the tea because it is fairly strong, yet mellow, smooth and not bitter at all. I am very picky about tea and Lifeboat is my favorite. There are many expensive teas but none better than Lifeboat!
