Twinings

This tea is really growing on me. Its really a mild tasty tea blend that I can drink any time of day. The tea has no bitterness or astringency that I can find. Its very smooth and light. I get plenty of yunnan and keemun notes from this tea.

This is quickly becoming one of my favorite afternoon teas. Its mellow, mild, and refreshing and very tasty. All this and very inexpensive.

I seem to like Twinings teas as they are a good value for the money. I like this tea as it is slightly malty and very smooth and mild. I can taste the yunnan and keemun in this tea. The taste is complex as you can taste many of the teas in this blend. This tea has no bitterness or astringency and is very easy to drink and enjoy.

This tea does have an earthy scent to it. I swear I can taste yunnan in there somewhere. Its a blend of many teas and makes a nice mild tasty cup.

I’m really beginning to enjoy this tea. I swear I can taste some yunnan in it. This is a nice mellow smooth blend for breakfast or afternoon tea.

I think I just got a bargain. Big Lots had this tea for 2 bucks for 100g, I bought 2. This is a light blend but its great in the afternoon. This is a blend of a few mild teas. No bitterness or astringency that I can taste. This is a nice smooth and mellow tea and I really enjoyed it.

This is a nice brew to have w/o sweetener or milk. Its a very mild black tea with out any astringency that I can find. This is a great afternoon tea.

This has always been my go-to tea. Now that I’ve tried the loose-leaf Earl Grey Creme from Teavana, though, I don’t know if this will be the same for me. However, I think this will always be a staple in my cupboard, for the days when I just can’t be bothered to put out any effort. ;) Tastes really good with just a touch of Splenda and a splash of milk/cream.

Delicious, heady rooibos; fruity, wine-like, and almost sweet. It brews a dark liquour with a strong flavor. It is better than most rooibos.

It is especially good with milk. Adding sugar is unnecessary but does not hurt.

It contains no ingredients except rooibos, unlike most grocery store products with “Red Tea” or “Rooibos” in their name. It is one of the few very good teas that you will have a chance of finding at your local supermarket.

Relatively mild ginger to settle my stomach. Good with honey.

Excellent Darjeeling tea with a light color, very little bitterness, and a powerful and complex flavor. A floral, wine-like tea. Some of the leaves are still greenish; as is true for many Darjeelings, perhaps this tea was not cured for as long as other black teas.

This tea is best served without milk. To do it justice, you should warm the cup or teapot by filling it with boiling water and emptying it — before adding fresh boiling water to make the tea.

I have not been able to find this tea in the United States, although I have found other Twinings offerings such as “Twinings Darjeeling” and “Twinings Ceylon Orange Pekoe,” which are packaged in the same type of tin. I found this “Twinings Vintage Darjeeling” in a grocery store when I was visiting Austria.

Just picked up a tin of this, loose. The taste is just what you’d expect from a blend that is mostly Keemun black, with some various other teas (including green and oolong) mixed in. The overall smell is nice, but the vegetal notes from the lighter varieties of tea disrupt the smoothness I like in a black tea with milk. My girlfriend feels the same way – she likes the overall smell, but feels hoodwinked by parts of the flavor. It’s still a decent tea, but might do better without milk.

I like this tea ok loose, but to be honest I think I prefer the bagged version. More of the floweriness comes through, as opposed to the leafy flavors in the loose version. If I’m in a place without loose tea, bags of this tea are a welcome sight.

This is my go-to tea for whenever I can’t decide what i’m in the mood for. I always take it with me when travelling, because there is nothing worse than bad hotel tea to wake you up in the morning! I like it best brewed slightly weak with a good bit of sugar, and a couple drops of lemon.

So the other day my friend’s and I went to the local tea house. I had chai tea to drink but bought about 2 ounces of the Gunpowder Green tea.

The Chinese name for this tea is call zhū chá which means “pearl tea or bead tea”. It derives it’s name form it’s similar appearance to gunpowder.

Tea steeped from Gunpowder has a dark golden color. To me was a toasted grassy, minty, or peppery taste. With an aftertaste lingering in the front palette, and a smokey aroma.

In reading on this tea, I found it rather interesting that Gunpowder tea is a pivotal part of making Touareg tea in Moroccan tea ritual.

Common names for this tea: chun mee, or zhu cha.

Directions:
165°F/75-80°C.
4 minutes steep.

I haven’t had any peppermint tea in what seems like forever!! This one is very light and delicous. It leaves that fresh taste in your mouth and I’m enjoying it very much after pigging out on Thai food tonight!

It’s in teabags, but doesn’t seem to suffer from the experience! If you like orange, you might want to take a chance on this. If you have fond memories of “Russian Tea”, you have to try this. (Russian tea is a mixture of tang, instant tea, instant lemonade, cinnamon, etc.) It took me all night to figure out what it tastes like! This might not be a drink that suits a sophisticated kind of palate, but if you still like koolaid, give it a try!

Good anytime cup of brew, the perfect start to anyday!

I’m gonna have to say although i am a fan of twinnings teas, i’d rather seek out a more potent chai experience.

This was a nice citrus flavored tea . Had two cups this morning .
