Twinings

Yummy.

I love Lady Grey tea, and I love Twining’s best of all- it’s basically a lighter version of traditional Earl Grey. I’ve found this to be a very versatile tea- drinkable at any time of day.

wll i have a sore throat so i wanted something quick so brewed this up nothing special but i wanted lemon in it…no lemons. so i dropped a bag of lemon zinger in for a 1 minute to get a lemony flavor to the generic tea taste. it is soothing my sore throat so its doing the job. the color is so murky its kinda gross looking! lol tastes fine tho.

A nice strong black tea. I really liked it although i brewed it for only about 3 minutes. i think it would be better at about 5 min

Best chamomile ever. You need hardly any sweetener with it. I’m really annoyed that my local grocery stores no longer carry it.

Kick-ass tea, especailly for winter or those days you have to get up at 3am for some nefarious reason. Just be sure only to have one or two cups a day or you’ll have to be pried off of the ceiling.

Wimpy, wimpy, wimpy…even after brewing for five minutes. A real disappointment from such a good brand likeTwining’s.

Irish Breakfast has a great roundness and presence without being too bitter or strong. Great with milk, but I usually drink it without.

Excellent in my afternoon Modern poetry seminar. A good accompaniment to anything by T.S. Eliot.

Delightful! Light and not bitter.

One of my favorite teas! Its a unique, but great aroma and the bergamot is a really great flavor in the tea!

Backlogging…

I oversteeped this by 4 minutes or so yesterday and it still wasn’t undrinkable. I did end up adding more water after a few sips but honestly it wasn’t ever bitter. Not my best cup of tea ever but still pretty decent (and super strong for a sleepy morning)!

I swear, you cannot go wrong with this blend. It’s not OMGAMAZING but it is pretty darn good and also very forgiving, as far as steeping time is concerned. Two thumbs up for today’s cup for sure!

Today this turned out a tad strong even for my tastes. Perfect after I drank 1/2 of it and added some more water.

I don’t know what happened, but this didn’t taste as great today as it usually does. I had to add some half-and-half (ugh shudder) because it was on the verge of bitterness. Chalk it up to the full moon (and my oversteeping), I guess!

Love this blend. Such a big difference between this and the other plain black blends I’ve been drinking this week. If only US teas were made like the UK ones! This was the perfect cuppa today.

Just about oversteeped this today but it still came out tasting great. I really love this blend for a straight-up plain black tea. It hits the spot on the days I feel like having some no-nonsense caffeine to start my day with.

A co-worker brought this back for me after a trip to the UK. I love strong black teas, and the UK bagged teas I’ve tried are always so much fuller than the miniscule US ones. A good, solid everyday blend. I have to be careful not to oversteep this one, but it can be saved with milk if I do.
