TWG Tea Company

Strong caramel flavor from this one. A good ‘dessert’ tea. The caramel is so strong I did not taste much of the green tea.

The caramel flavor really comes through with this tea. It is so caramelly it felt a bit weird to drink it. The taste of the green tea itself is almost lost. I had a love-hate relationship with it as I drank it near the start of my tea journey, in which I was just getting used to flavored and blended teas, so my judgement may not really be fair. Overall, it is good specifically for people who love the smell of caramel. Will I buy it again? Probably, but not in the near future.

One of the strongest full-bodied black tea I have ever tasted. Compare this to your average lipton and you would probably understand why there’s a huge price gap although both are basically just black teas. This feels like concentrated essence of black tea. A very good breakfast tea to jolt you alive, and an equally good one to keep you awake through late nights. Not for the faint-hearted.

This blend smells better in tea leaf form than when its boiled into a cup of tea. It has a strong malty chocolate-y scent which, unfortunately, translates only partially into a cup. Nonetheless it is still quite a delicious tea to have. Steep longer than needed to get most of its scent into your cup of tea.

Currently my favorite tea. The leaves give off a strong perfume of flowers and berries which translates into the cup of tea. The thing is, its so aromatic I feel its better to drink this on its own than try to pair it with food. Overall a delightful tea. Will buy more.

Very lovely tea that smells and tastes amazing, and is definitely a favorite out of all the teas I have. It feels delicate for a black tea, but the flavors are definitely present. It’s slightly sweet on its own, with floral tones and what I believe is apricot. Even with milk and sugar, it is still amazing.

ohhhhh this is a weird one. smells a bit like a cosmetics drawer but better, definitely a powdery vibe. The base is heavier on a light green tea note instead of the black, but the black is adding a bit of extra structure to support all the powdery fruit. The mint cut through the sweetness.

It really is a bizarre tea. But in a good way……like that quirky person that you work with that maybe others may make fun of but you find intriguing, and the more you get to know them the more interesting they are. This tea definitely has personality and I wouldn’t pair it with anything. The development and taste need to be taken one sip at a time with nothing else interfering. I usually put milk in my tea but did not add it to this, I did add a touch of sugar but not much. The scent is enough to register as floral sweetness. It remind me of a green tea rose marshmallow but somehow it’s more than than.

Definitely one to check out and unlike any other tea I’ve tried yet.

I was looking for something that recreated the feeling of having an After Eight in a cup, as I did with Snow Day from David’s Tea. However, Snow Day contains actual white chocolate chips, and since I am trying to decrease my sugar consumption, I was hoping for a reasonable substitute from TWG given my love for their Chocolate Earl Grey.

Although the tea smelled deliciously minty, the scent did not translate into its taste. Both the mint and the chocolate flavours were weak to me, despite varying my steep time. The tea guide at TWG recommended that I steep fro 5-7 minutes, and nothing in that timeframe made a huge difference to the flavour.

This is by far my favourite TWG tea. Introduced to me during a decadent afternoon tea with a friend, and I came home with a 50g bag.

The earl grey is light on the bergamot with an aromatic scent of cocoa that carries over to its taste. It’s great for the days that you want something “chocolate-y” but you are trying to refrain from actually eating chocolate. This is the only “chocolate tea” that I have tried that retains a cocoa flavour without adding artificial flavouring or actual chocolate chips. The cocoa shells do the trick!

I love it hot with a splash of milk.

I tried many flavored tea and it’s the only one that I can’t swallow the other half of cup.
It’s very much like a fruit drink, sweet and smooth.
Don’t buy.

nice

Hmm, there’s not really much that’s macaron-like about the flavour, it’s too robust for one. A proper macaron should be light and delicate with a hint of almond. This tea does have a very nice, toasty, slightly bitter, cocoa flavour that goes well with some milk. It actually makes a nice breakfast tea.

My husband and coworkers love this tea. It’s very floral. However, I find it a bit too powdery for my taste. I’d much prefer a more traditional Japanese Sakura green. (Rest of review incomplete because buttons not working)

l love English Breakfast. But I love more New York breakfast than English breakfast. It is the most valuable blend for milk tea.

It’s not bad but very mild. I can barely taste the bergamot.

This was a lovely tea! When I tasted this tea it had passed the expiry date for more than a year. Yet, its freshness was not affected, thanks to the beautiful, air-tight tea tin!

There’s only black tea on the ingredient list but I strongly suspected that flavouring had been added because it tasted of creamy chocolate! Smelled really great but didn’t taste too sweet. It would probably be perfect with milk :)
