From Twinings

Prince of Wales is a pure China black tea sourced from regions including the Yunnan province and other southern regions of China. This blend is light in color and has a smooth and mild taste, with a well-rounded character. Great in the late morning or in the afternoon, it is perfect with or without milk and can be sweetened to taste.

Definitely a staple in my tea chest. Try it with a slice of orange for a special treat.

Seems a bit too mild and weak for my tastes (I have enjoyed Twinings British Breakfast and Irish Breakfast before, so perhaps I just like stronger teas). Seemed “refined” but maybe a little too watery. My friends in the UK thought it was funny that we could get this tea here in the US, but it’s apparently hard to find in the UK… perhaps they think it’s too watery, as well. Would I buy it again? Maybe… but not if I could find something more robust. It’s better than some, but not as good as most, if you follow my line of thinking.

A good alternative to English Breakfast for some variety. It’s a little lighter, but no less tasty.

This is a good, solid workhorse of a tea. It does what it’s supposed to do. The taste is subtle. I would have no problems serving this to my non-tea-drinking friends. I prefer my tea somewhat stronger, so I brew it a bit longer and don’t add a thing.

This is an everyday tea as far as I’m concerned.

This is a really nice black tea. I’m not a huge black tea drinker, but I got this as a gift and it’s a good fallback if I can’t find something else I feel like drinking.

I wasn’t very impressed with this tea, it’s too mild for my taste. There’s virtually no flavour.

I hoped that brewing this tea for 3 minutes and 45 seconds instead of my usual 2 minutes and 45 seconds would overcome its watery taste. It did not.

A nice light tea for drinking on occasion. Definitely not a full-bodied tea for those used to drinking a strong black blend, but worth a try if you are looking for something different.

Tastes great without milk or sugar as well as with. Personal preference is without but find it with just as pleasant.

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.
