Arby drank All Day Decaf by Twinings

2986 tasting notes

Super malty, slightly sweet, and delicious by itself or as a latte. No bitterness at all, and lots of flavour. While it is a generic malty black tea, I do get some baked bread and creamy notes. This is one of the better bagged black teas I’ve had, and I can taste how fresh it is (probably this year’s harvest).

I’m really impressed with how fresh and tasty the teabags are from Twinings in the UK. The ones available in stores in N.A, are not even close to as fresh + usually have a lower quality base. The teas I’ve tried that I ordered from the UK Twinings site have been as good as looseleaf, while the bagged teas I can buy on Amazon or in a grocery store are of lesser quality. If you want to try Twinings teas, buy directly from the UK site and pay a few bucks more for shipping. The quality and freshness are really worth it.

Bio

I am a biochem major hoping for a career in research genetics and evolutionary biology. I love science fiction and spend too much of my time reading comic books. I’m a passionate keeper of spiders, cacti, and exotic plants. I eat a vegan, plant-based diet for moral and environmental reasons (I mention this only because it is relevant to which flavoured teas I drink).

I drink mostly flavoured and low caffeine teas/tisanes, but I will try anything twice. As far as pure teas go, I gravitate towards whites, yellows, and jade oolongs. I’m always open for trades and sample sales/exchanges. Message me any time :)

My cupboard is mostly up to date. For a more comprehensive list, see my stash spreadsheet here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1-HjWKR3um-xEnj6HC9vMvKXOAyj_bpW5u_2ixEC20-k/edit?usp=sharing
