Nerada Cup / Pot
24 reviews
Nerada black leaf tea – I am extremely disappointed that you have stopped making the black leaf tea . I have used that tea for many years and have visited the tea farm at innisfail as i am a big tea drinker I am finding it hard to find anything that comes up to the taste of nerada.The english breakfast tea is to honest is terrible
Frustrating – Most of the tea bags we have used the string comes away from the bag and it falls into the cup. Also lately we have had quite a few that are stuck together, not happy and won’t be buying them again.
Changed to English Breakfast, blend of local and imported – We have used both Nerada pot and cup for years. Unfortunately, Nerada is no longer all Australian tea. It's now a blend of imported (origin not disclosed) and local tea. It's astonishing that this brand has its own tea plantation but now imports tea leaves! So, we have switched to a well-known imported brand, but one which is family owned and… Read more
single origin. At least we know what we are getting. What a disappointment that this highly regarded Australian brand has likely put profits before its reputation. We felt good about supporting an Aussie tea company. I suppose they hope customers won't notice. I also noticed that they no longer print that they use unbleached bags, so I suppose the writing has been on the wall. This tea is always on special too, so perhaps they have been struggling with sales.
Glorified Lawn Cuttings – Potentially the worst tasting tea I have ever tried. You'd honestly be better off drinking the contents of your lawn mower, or soaked squares of cardboard. Your one upside is that's it's not bitter, and it's never gonna be because it's not anything. No matter how long you brew this tea, it still tastes of absolutely nothing. Somehow, it gets worse… Read more
when you add milk. This is the one and only piece of evidence required to completely ban growing tea in Australia, because it will never work. Please don't waste your time crying over this box of tea like I did Yours Truly x
Nerada loose leaf tea is not leaf, its granules. Why? – I cant rate this tea for taste as I dont know if it's safe to drink. Its called loose lef tea but there's no leaf in sight, it's granules. I cant find information about this online & there's no explanation on the box. Why isn't Nerada being transparent about this ? Show details
I will be buying this tea from now on. ...it’s excellent – I accidentally bought the Neruda black tea instead of the green tea, and what a pleasant surprise! It would have to be the best black tea I have ever tasted....Very glad I found it!
The best Tea by far – Nerada Tea is a good strong decent cup of tea. I am so over wasting my time with all the others having to use 2 tea bags or having to make a whole pot of tea when i only want a cup. Nerada has a great taste its smooth and honestly perfect. I also highly recommend visiting the Tea house when up in Cairns its so beautiful, omg the Devonshire teas… Read more
are to die for and the view of sitting there over looking all the tea bushes is breathtaking. Nerada is a big 5 stars for me...and the best thing is its Australian
Enjoyable to the last bag – I've bought Nerada tea consciously for over 20 years , tried other brands for flavour BUT came back to Nerada time and again for its constant Good flavour... And Love that it's Australian grown .... Good Tea and Thankyou for the Great Price All this Time on 200 bag pack THANKYOU
Quality of bag – I have been buying Nerada Tea Cup or Pot bags for decades now and l wouldn't buy anything else ( as long as their available). But l have noticed a difference in the quality of the bag itself, in the latest boxes that I have bought. They tear very easily when you try to sqeeze out the bag on the side of the cup using a spoon, which is the way that I have always done it, (never used to happen before) Show details
Beats all other black teas – The flavour is strong but not overpowering. The best tea I have ever tasted . And as an elderly person I have tried many. It even beats the very best tea I given to take home from Inner Mongolia last year . I more and more people seem to be turning to Nerada tea now Show details
Plastic tags - whats going on there! – Quite happy with the product - although I think there is better tasting tea available on the market but love the fact that it is a pesticide free product. I like to think that I have green environmental principles and I am a great recycler. You know careful, with what I put in the garbage bin and put my green waste in the compost bin etc. etc. … Read more
I started noticing that there were bits of plastic in my compost bin and then realised that your tea bags, which I was composting, now have plasticized paper on the tags. Really disappointed so won't be buying this product again. Like we need more plastic in our environment. Can't send these tags off for soft plastic recycling. Please go back to the paper tags and I will consider using your product again.
Extremely disappointing: not a true black tea! – I was looking for an organic black tea as an alternative to the wonderful Virgin Garden which isn't available at the moment. The Nerada looked promising in its description and I liked that it is an Australian product and grown pesticide free. Unfortunately that is its only good point. The aroma was strange immediately on opening it - more like a… Read more
green tea. Even when left to brew for a long time, it has a light colour and the flavour is somewhere between a green and black tea (more like a strong green tea). So disappointing! I have NEVER experienced a "black" tea which isn't dark in colour nor robust in flavour! Attached is a photo of the tea after the higher end of recommended 5 minutes brewing (2-5 suggested). What a waste of money!
Lovely flavours – I loved the lemon and ginger tea and green tea so much I gave some to a few friends and now they too buy it for themselves!!! I too love the taste especially of the ginger and lemon it is so refreshing and leaves a pleasant after taste :)

Earl Grey tasteless and no aroma – No aroma and tasteless. I usually buy Twinings but was swayed at the box, larger quantity and what I believed was a good brand. One cup and others in the bin. Waste of money. Show details
australian tea – AUSTRALIAN tea! it used to be strangely weak but now up there with the rest of them in taste and strength, fresh and hearty
Nerada teacup bags in packs of 100: look before you swallow – I Have used Nerada Tea bags almost exclusively since 1989 and would normally recommend them. However, I recently purchased several packets of 100 teacup teabags in the local supermarket, but upon using, noticed a tiny tube of plastic or plasticized paper floating in the hot tea. Upon further inspection, i also noticed a quite loose, tiny flat… Read more
piece of plasticized material attached to the back of each or most of the tea bags in the packet. I contacted the Nerada company & told them of my discovery and they replied that they had been aware of the problem and had taken remedial action. Meanwhile, I shall be looking more closely at what I am swallowing.
fishy taste and smell – I have used Nerada for years and found the last pack of pot/cup taste fishy and smell. could this be of the fertiliser used
Great tea – I stop drinking black tea .then I I tried nerada tea and I will only drink this brand nerada tea actually tastes like tea it is a good quality brand and made in Australia .i also drink nerada green tea and white tea
Best tea ever! – Thank you for listening to my previous comment! I'm happy to say the tea bags no longer fall apart. I always have some in my handbag so I can have it wherever I go. It really is the best tea
Disappointed with quality of material used – I have basically wasted tea bags as they either have torn open from the tag being stuck to the bag or the material is more open and so much dust settles in the bottom of my mug like mud. Only today I had big chunks come out of the bag. Not happy.
bad tea cup bags – I love nerada tea,the taste is fantastic,better still its Australian grown and owned,but i do not know what they have done to their tea bags. Is it new material the bags are made from, if so they are not doing the job, because they let black resinue in the bottom of the cup. This happens a lot lately and it never did before.
Nerada Preium Teabags – I love this tea. I used to drink Dilmah (Strong) but found I was unable to get it. All that was available was Extra Strong which I didn't like. I decided to try Nerada Premium Tea which is made in Australia, and I am hooked. It tastes lovely, and has less caffeine in it. I use the Nerada Premium Teabags. I remove the tags and put 2 bags in the teapot, the result of which, is a good cuppa. Everything
Australian grown tea! – I am big on buying Australian where and when I can which is why I tried this tea. I would usually only purchase Twinings however, it was just getting too expensive. I find Nerada is a strong tea as I prefer and a pleasant taste, may take some getting use to if changing from another long term brand. Recently I had a cup of Twinings at work and… Read more · 1
no longer liked the taste as I am now used to Nerada, so give it a chance even if you find Nerada not to your taste initially don't discount it until you have tried it consistently over a couple of days at least.
NB: Rating this actually as very good. Australian grown and processed tea, available with ease at most supermarkets, good price.
Good – This is a nicely priced tea which comes in a variety of sizes. It is commonly found, although I sometimes dont find it at Coles. The taste is pretty strong and I find that if I drink this when its fairly hot, my headache goes away. This is a nice economic tea to have and use on a regular basis. This is a good strong tea which we buy most often. I… Read more · 2
think its cheaper than the other teas, and the taste is still good. I don't have anything to dislike with this tea. Some of the packs come without the string, so you may have to get used to that.
