## Description

Lifeboat Tea, 80 Count

Review: Good strong black tea, but usually too pricey in the US - Lifeboat makes a good strong cup of tea and supports a very worthy cause. It is unique among these standard British brands in that it is 100% Kenyan and comes from one of Williamson’s tea estates. It has good flavor, but seemed noticeably mellower than most English breakfast teas. I therefore tend to brew it a little longer than I do similar brands. Having said all that it’s price is usually too high in the US. Try to get it when it’s price drops more in line with teas like Punjana or Barry’s. I’ve never seen it as affordable as Yorkshire and, while it is different, I’m not sure it’s that much better. **Edit 16 Sep 21** On the issue of price, I was browsing teas when I noticed that this is now $15 for 80 tea bags! Quite frankly, that is absurd. Absolutely NOBODY in the United Kingdom would be willing to pay that price for any basic tea. I think I paid like $9, still very high by British standards but that is more comparable to the prices of Barry’s, Punjana, and some other British brands in the States. I’m willing to accept some price increases to get real British tea, but not that much. For that price you could get a pound of nice loose leaf tea that is better then almost any teabags (in fact, check out Ahmad’s loose leaf offerings). A quick desertcart search shows another seller offering this tea for $13, still absurd. The best deal currently is the 4 pack for 24, if you want that much of this tea. Don’t get me wrong, Lifeboat is good tea. But it isn’t worth 13-15 dollars for 80 bags. Almost no bagged tea is. **rating dropped from 5 to 4 stars entirely due to absurd current pricing** ••Edit 21 Dec 22•• Recently reordered when it’s price was 8.99. I’d forgotten how smooth it is and love its brightness and flavour. I bumped it back to 5 stars because of its much more reasonable price point.
Review: The Best for a Proper Cup - I'm rather particular about tea. Lifeboat Tea is robust and consistent in quality. It's not filled with tea dust or fannings. The flavor is rounded with no unpleasant sharpness or mystery notes. Kenyan black teas are superior to Chinese tea blends when it comes to smooth flavor. This is definitely an English Breakfast tea that will wake you up. I enjoy strong brews and let it steep for about three minutes. Lifeboat is also excellent if you make your own Boba Milk Tea at home (let it steep a bit longer). The price is reasonable for generous box of tea bags.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Temperature your expectations
*by M***R on November 25, 2025*

You know when someone tells you about the best movie they ever saw then you see it and think it was good ((but not as good as they painted it)? Thats this tea. Its good. It really does not get bitter. But... it's not nearly as strong as all these reviews make it out to be. There are much stronger teas out there that taste equal, if not better, to Lifeboat. Thompson's Titanic immediately comes to mind. So temper your expectations and you'll enjoy this better.
