Twinings

Can’t go wrong.

Pure and simple – a mild taste. Tastes good with milk, too.

Backlogging! Does the job!

Backlogging…

Yum. Yup! Nice Afternoon Black Tea in a Bag.

Excellent! True English Breakfast – Hard to believe it’s Decaf.

When I noticed this tea was getting harder to find in my area, I bought a couple of boxes. Not too long after that the magic kind of faded and I just don’t love this tea that much any more. I still enjoy it when I’m in the mood for a very “fruity” tea but honestly that’s not very frequently. There’s nothing wrong with this blend, per se, but I think my tastes have just changed over the last couple of years.

I pulled this out today and noticed that I still have quite a bit to get through so I might donate it to work so that I get through it a bit faster than just drinking it all by myself. I accidently steeped it a tad too long, but it didn’t get bitter so that was a nice bonus! This blend definitely makes me think of summer and it’s in the 60s today so it was a good match. :)

Felt like a fruity black tea today, so this was the pick. I was kind of specifically craving cherry, so I probably should’ve gone with Four Red Fruits instead, but this was close enough. Nice summery blend for sure!

Pulled this out to drink today after not having it for a while. The fruit notes are very strong, and it’s quite different from any of the other blends I own. I think I mostly enjoy it for the uniqueness, though, and not really for the specific flavour of the blend. I never crave it but it’s nice whenever I remember to drink it!

I can’t pick out many of the individual flavours in this blend, but it all works nicely together. I had a hard time finding this in stores, so I bought several boxes when I did find it (and it looks like it’s been discontinued again). That’s a shame, because it’s quite different. Good with milk or without as well.

One of the first non-herbal teas I tried. Good flavor, but a bit too mild for my taste.

The dry tea is multicolored, finely milled, with a fruity aroma. A 4 min steep gave me a rosy liquor which was unfortunately too bitter to drink without milk and sugar. Compared to the fine Mim Darjeeling I had recently, this tea appears a candidate for making into chai.

Smooth and mild describes it well.

Single cup, 3 raw sugar.

Pretty smoky and kinda bitter. I only steeped it for about 2 1/2 minutes, so I think it should have been okay. It works as a nice break during the day, but its not something I would buy. But since I have a tin of it, it will serve it’s purpose for the time being. You’ll probably like this if you’re more of a tea purist…I usually take mine with a bit more fruity flavoring.

Somehow oversteeped this, even though I was paying close attention! I had to add half & half (which I hate) so overall, not my best work. Not the tea’s fault, but it isn’t a fantastic blend to begin with. Ah, well!

The more I drink this, the less I like it. I’m not sure if my bags are going stale (they’re sealed, but they’re probably a year old by now) or if my tastes have changed or what, but I’m just not as into this blend as I used to be. Kind of sad!

Oversteeped this this morning, so added some half-and-half (which I never do). Not bad, actually. Not much else to say about this one!
