Twinings

… with a teaspoon of sugar and a sip of unsweetened soya milk. yummm

Had this one few night ago.
Well it’s bit spicy. Tastes very Indian :) Basically they gave it a perfect name that says it all. I’m not a huge fan of very spiced teas. Specially cloves. Had enough of those in the Christmas tea blend that I bought couple months back. But it ain’t bad. Prefer more herbal taste and less spice taste tho. Average rating. More than drinkable…

Very nice with a splash of milk.

Found this while trying to find something with caffeine in my friend’s suite. I half remember drinking this when I was little, but I don’t remember how I drank it. Anyway, Darjeeling is a nice light tea, definitely not a heavy breakfast tea. I might want to get a box for myself to replace my Bigelow English Teatime.

Safe default tea, although sometimes the bergamot taste can overpower the tea taste

My default tea in the morning.

it’s nearly impossible to brew it wrong.

I grew up with this tea in the house in Australia. It is awesome for me because it reminds me of home!

My flat mate got me into this one. Perfect for moments when you don’t want a plain old builders’ brew, but need something a bit more familiar tasting than a wacky infusion.

Just drank my last packet… so good.

A friend just sent me this tea today.
I’ve been feeling ick from the crazy spring weather and this stuff was just what I needed.
I love lemon tea, but sometimes the lemon can be overpowering.
This was not the case with this tea at all.
So tasty! My new favorite bagged tea.

This tea is a great one, if not for the good flavour and solid price then prehaps for its super eco-friendly packaging. Got a box of 160 bags as I have developed quite a taste for it of late and the ‘foil’ that holds 40 tea bags together had bio-degradable or something stamped across it. This lead to much head scratching till on the side of the box, clear as day it says that it isn’t in fact foil but wood pulp.

Good old Twinnings saving the planet one cuppa at a time

I’m not regretting buying it, it’s reasonably pleasant, but I don’t think I’ll be too gutted when it vanishes off the shelves. The rose taste is quite fresh and subtle, not too perfumey like some can be, but I think it needed a better quality black tea; this one’s a little flat and on the bitter side.

Haven’t tried it with milk (I tend to avoid putting milk into favoured teas) but it’s good with just a pinch of sugar.

Pretty much the only tea I’ve been drinking. New to the world of tea so slowly starting to expand my tastes, but I really like this. Have been making it every day for a week. A bit weaker than I would normally make it, but still tasty. Also, I like this more than Tazo’s Earl Grey that I had last weekend. The Twinings has a much less overpowering flavor than the Tazo;s.

So this was an interesting experience this morning. First, I’d been doing the decaf thing for a while so when I decided I would just do the full caffeine version… hmm. maybe not the wisest choice as I feel a bit jittery now.
As for the flavor. I took my first sip just after finishing a glass of juice. Not pleasant at all. I was terribly disappointed since I remember enjoying this tea. It tasted really old and stale.
After I got the juice/sweet taste out though, I continued and it was much improved. I used a small amount of milk in it and it’s very enjoyable over my eggs and toast. I’ll continue using this one in the am but I think I’ll try to remove some of the caffeine, steer clear of drinking it with juice and likely not add any sweetener just to be safe (I’m not a fan of sweet teas anyway.)

It’s mint in a tea bag. Simple, easy and good when you need it. Not something I’d walk 1000 miles for, but just simply good.

I reckon this is what I need after couple of glasses of red wine :D Looking for a ‘tipsy evening’ tea.
Yep not too sweet, but fruity and soothing. I like this tea. Just what i needed atm.

like it more than plain fruit teas. black tea base makes it more real ;) mostly feel the cherry in it. quite good. like it late in the evening and early in the morning. little spoon of honey makes it even a bit better.

This is one of my earliest tea tries. It’s a friendly flavor even tongues newer to the black tea world. I loved the lightness of it and that with the tea bags, I didn’t destroy the flavor too much if I forgot to take the bag out on time. When I started getting into loose leaf teas, I of course bought that variety but I’ve never been able to love it as much as the bags. I’m still trying to get that light citrus/flowery quality rather then the stronger black tea taste that seems to occur when I try using the leaf. If that just fails me, there is always the tea bag to go back to.

This one was nice, but I wasn’t overly impressed with it. I guess I just prefer the stronger flavor of the Earl Grey teas. I did the milk and sugar thing, but it was a bit too mild for my liking. Maybe I’ll give it another shot before I give up on it completely. I did get it in a sample package of Twinings teas, so I only have 4 bags left.

Backlogging. Drank this last night while I was on call. With this new schedule 4am-6/7pm, I hope I won’t switch to coffee.

Ran out of Second Cup Holiday Tea (but then, it IS March…) so I’ve moved on to Twinings Lady Grey. Good stuff, but it’s way too delicate for the milk and sugar I put in it. Next time, lemon juice. (Note to self: acquire lemon.) Ordinarily I prefer stronger teas, but this is a lovely tea with a beautiful scent.

I used to drink this infusion a lot, but after drinking more loose leaf, this one tastes less fresh in comparison. It also tastes slightly artificial… I wonder whether the added flavourings were natural. Having said that, in order to get any flavour into a fruit tea in a tea bag variety, I guess you have to add extra flavourings. I prefer my drinks to be a bit more natural tasting, but then again I have lots of friends who don’t drink infusions that much but like this one because of the stronger taste and deep red colour. I like Twinings tea a lot, but I’ll gladly give this one to my friends.
