Twinings

This is presently my go to tea for all things. Drinking while at work and all through the night. It’s rich, deep, dark, very smooth and quite unique.

Not so great, now that I’ve had good quality loose-leaf Darjeeling.

It’s been a while since I last drank a cup of this, but it holds a special place in my heart. I had tins of this stuff all over the house, and at work too. I really should make myself a cup. :)

Twinings was the first brand I went to when I became enthusiastic about tea, particularly loose leaf. I’m not too fond of their bagged version (it always leaves a stale aftertaste) but the loose is great. Recommended!

Pretty good.

It’s got that kick-you-in-the-teeth feeling.

My after-dinner delight.

very hot…

I was quite concerned that the packet didn’t say what type of white tea this was, suggesting it was a blend of broken leaf from random gardens, and the taste and appearance suggested this was exactly what it was. It didn’t do it for me – too strong, none of the delicate flavours that I love white tea for (melon, fruit, sweetness) just a dark liquid with a slightly bitter aftertaste.

1/4 cup fresh milk + 3/4 cup water

A great English Breakfast. I somewhat prefer the Irish Breakfast because it’s stronger.

Good after dinner tea..with a very STRONG flavor. It’s like drinking an “altoid” tea.

just had my second mug of this today (in my British Tea Power mug naturally) but this time with a drop of milk. Lovely

I’m not usually one for fruit teas but this was rather refreshing. The flavouring was subtle and the smell of orange, lemon and bergamot is a great way to start the day!

Tried again with hotter water. It brings out more flavor and is more enjoyable.
