Twinings of London

Eh It’s OK!

my all-time favourite

Good strong black tea suited to adding milk and sugar. IMHO, a bit harsh for plain drinking unless diluted. Works well for iced tea, and works well when you add slices of orange or lemon to the iced tea.

The tea steeps quickly for a strong flavour. It can be a very intense kick in the morning and is best cut with milk.

Default option; keeps the shakes at bay

No better way to start the day than with a good strong cup of English Breakfast.

Prepared with loose-leaf tea, of course. Very good in the morning, happiness!

A decent tea, not as strong as I would like my English Breakfast.

I’m not really a big tea drinker. However I saw a box of Twinings today at the market and decided to try the Earl Grey.

Upon opening the box the smell was so nice that I cannot wait to make a cup. I let the bag steep for around 4 minutes, and while the aroma is delightful, the taste was lighter than I expected. I probably should have seen that coming since the box says ‘light flavour strength’. With that said, I still ended up liking this tea more than I thought I would.

I’m trying to get into black teas and I found this one on sale at the grocery store so I thought I’d give it a try. It’s mild. I added a dash of milk and some sweetener and it’s nice. Pretty unoffensive. I only steeped for 2 minutes since I didn’t want it super strong. A good one to keep at the office as it’s bagged.

Love this tea! Drink it every night before bed, sleep like a baby! Suggest you squeeze a small amount if fresh lemon into cup for that extra taste of zing.

I have had this both in K-Cup form and as loose leaf, and while I love both I prefer the loose leaf to the K cup as it gets more flavour. But first thing in the morning I am to lazy to wait for the kettle/don’t want to scoop the leaves out so I use the kcups.

I really love this tea as a simple morning pick me up. I steep is for longer than the direction advise since I noticed that the listed times didn’t really impart enough flavor.

This tea tastes wishy-washy to me, neither flavoursome enough for a morning cuppa nor fragrant enough for the times when you want a light refreshing brew. Takes a long time to brew and still tastes like dish-water at the end of it.

I loved the richness and the flavor of the tea.
