Twinings

I’m usually not much of a drinker of black teas, but I needed a certain boost earlier and found myself turning to Irish Breakfast Tea as my first resort. I definitely tasted the malt in the tea, and found it strong, but in a way that wasn’t too over-bearing. Mixing it with a bit of vanilla soy milk definitely toned it down to perfection for me, but this will certainly be something I’ll be drinking in the morning to keep me going!

This was one of my first teas, and I love it. It may not be the cleanest or smoothest taste (not to say it isn’t delicious), but it is convenient and it reminds me of home.

Very poor quality tea. I enjoy Darjeeling, and if you manage to make this tea JUST so, it has all of the classic muscadet flavours, with just a hint of ginger and spice in there. But it gets bitter very quickly, has a tonne of sediment in it, does not stand up to repeat steepings, and has to be made in exactly the right way not to taste terrible. (Not to mention that it can’t be stored – it lost its flavour over about a month). Would not buy again.

I got a handful of tea bags that said “Orange Bliss” in a raffle prize (won by my boyfriend, which he then gave to me. What a love!) at a Halloween party, and I figure this must be the same thing, since it’s the same brand. At any rate, I very much enjoyed this tea. No milk, just sugar, and it was very good. I found the orange to be very evident, but certainly not overpowering. I may just pick up a box of this at some point.

P.S. Also part of the raffle gift was a black pedestal style mug that said “Trick or Treat” on it. WIN!

I just purchased these tea bags today and I am currently drinking my first cup. I love the scent. The taste is mild, but very worth drinking again.

“to complement the traditional, hearty English Breakfast”

Tried to cut some carbs this morning so I left out some of the “traditional” items, but this sure complimented my eggs and sausage quite well. I think my personal taste is towards the black teas, I enjoy the oolongs, whites, and greens I have tried, but I always want to get back to that ingrained “tea” taste. Only the blacks do that for me.

Turns out it is good for breakfast as stated…whole wheat tortilla, some scrambled eggs, cheese and salsa. Not exactly the tradtional “English Breakfast” but works for me.

I love the depth of flavor this tea has, the aftertaste stays then draws you back to the cup for more…I am noticing that in the teas I like, almost magical.

Not just for breakfast is so true!
Waiting for winter weather with an old friend. Decided
to add some milk…yum pretty much covers it. Dark and rich too.

It’s quite nice for bagged, and if you don’t steep for too long, it’s great by itself or with just a little bit of milk.

Light, fragrant, hard to decide whether to enjoy the aroma or the taste…ok, both. Every sip reminds me of my favorite Vietnamese establishment and the frequent pairing with bun. I am getting hungry as a matter of fact!

After the more intense blacks so far today, this is light, delicate, and almost fragile in comparison. What a contrast!

Just needed some good black tea late morning…

I love this tea!

I love this tea, actually drink it often even though I have not logged. I love the aftertaste, it lingers long after a sip goes down. The finish of this and Darjeeling are close. I was somewhat surprised to see that this is no longer offered in England. I still have so much to learn about tea!

Keeping that black trend going today…every sip induces a pause and moment of reflection…the color of this tea is perfect, a deep dark amber. Through the sip there is a swiriling of lightness, to slight astringency, then a smooth aftertaste.

mmmm …deep, full, flavor…they say the best..it is very good for sure.

It is not just for Christmas, I love the flavors, like a Chai lite…

This is a very weak, light tasting tea. If you are looking for an alternative to the typical (mint, citrus, vanilla, etc) chamomile blend, it is okay. The apple and spice flavors are gentle and pleasant, but overall it is a boring tea. Prepared with stevia.

One of the best peppermint teas I’ve tried. Refreshing but not over the top.
