From Twinings

Fine black tea expertly blended with the citrus fruit flavor of bergamot, to deliver an uplifting tea with a unique floral aroma and refreshing taste.

Twinings has been blending my family tea for years. Today, I am proud to continue this tradition with the tea celebrated throughout the world known as Twinings Earl Grey. Legend has it, that my ancestor, the second Earl Grey, was presented with this exquisite recipe by an envoy on his return from China.

To date I’ve yet to find an Earl Grey I appreciate more, either in flavor or simply for being so darn affordable. Twinings is just lovely. Nevermind I can find this virtually anywhere, at any given time, with no trouble what so ever. Yay, I found my EG.

Bit of a disappointment. The citrus is overly bright — more like lemon than that distinctive Bergamot I enjoy. Bergamot is barely in evidence here. Back to my local teashops’ blends and/or The Republic of Tea’s Earl Grey

This was my first loose leaf tea. I enjoyed it for a good while, but before long, the flavor was too mild. It’s great, if you want a light Earl with a very refined flavor.

Surprisingly good for Earl Grey, a type which I normally steer clear from!

I love this tea. The bergamot is just fabulous, and it lasts a great many brews (at least for me).

Earl Grey tea is, without a doubt, my favorite tea. To drink a good cup of Earl Grey is to experience nothing short of full body euphoria as smell, taste and texture combine to create an experience tea drinkers long for. It’s because of this I almost take personal offense at Twinings lumbering attempt at capturing the taste of a great tea.

I’ll go on record as saying I generally despise everything Twinings produces and that I rate their tea products right up there at the lofty heights alongside cask wine, instant coffee and sweaty gym socks.

I’ve given them a 15 due to the fact that they’ve at least shown effort and offer different blends rather than sinking to the lows of Lipton’s nameless blend of swill. However if the site was capable of listing negative scores, this would get a 0 allowing Lipton, Tetley’s and friends to dwell in the negatives.

Good tea but with a soft, muted bergamot flavor.
