Earl Grey from Twinings
Style: Earl Grey Tea – Region: ?????67 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Mar. 19th, 2014
OK - decent EG, light in terms of flavor and caffeine level. I think Tazo EG is far better.
I usually get a box of 100 or 144 from Costco, so decent value.
Winter Spice from Twinings
Style: Herbal Tea – Region: Blend83 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 4/5
Mar. 1st, 2014
Received a box of 20 teabags of this herbal blend less than two months ago, and it is nearly empty. I guess that tells you I enjoyed this blend! The spices and apple flavor go well with the base of chamomile, which merge together with a nice synergy. The aroma is wonderful and not overpowering; the flavor is light and ...

Lady Grey from Twinings
Style: Fruit Black Tea – Region: Blend53 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Feb. 23rd, 2014
Meh. Again, I was underwhelmed by this tea from Twinings. Like their Earl Grey tea, I certainly appreciated the use of citrus to balance out the black tea. However, I found the overall effect unimpressive. I really need to try a high quality Earl Grey or Lady Grey tea to give these styles a fair shot. I'm glad I have a...

Style: Earl Grey Tea – Region: ?????60 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Feb. 23rd, 2014
This was my first time tasting an Earl Grey tea. I definitely appreciated the bergamot orange balancing out the black tea flavor a bit, though it still wasn't enough for me to outright enjoy this tea. On its own, it was still too tanniny, or something (bitter isn't quite the right word). With food (I had fried eggs) it...

Irish Breakfast from Twinings
Style: Irish Breakfast – Region: ?????47 / 100 Aroma: 4/10 Flavor: 2/5 Value: 3/5
Feb. 23rd, 2014
Though they ended up with the same score, I actually liked the Irish Breakfast slightly better than the English Breakfast from Twinings. Unfortunately, to say I "enjoyed" it would still be too strong.

English Breakfast from Twinings
Style: English Breakfast – Region: ?????47 / 100 Aroma: 4/10 Flavor: 2/5 Value: 3/5
Feb. 23rd, 2014
I'm not sure if I'll ever be crazy about black teas. I got a sampler pack of Twinings black teas so that I could try out my tastes, and this one was the most *meh* to me. Neither the aroma nor the taste were my style. I think I'll bring the remainder of these to work for others to use.

Irish Breakfast Decaffeinated from Twinings
Style: Irish Breakfast – Region: ?????77 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Feb. 4th, 2014
I like this tea - it's very strong and dark. I have a be careful when brewing it because there's a short window of time that it comes out good - for me about 3 minutes. After that it starts to get very bitter and astringent. I'm starting to notice that in general, it's hard to find decaf black teas that have a lot of f...

English Breakfast from Twinings

Jan. 16th, 2014
I actually enjoyed the first & second infusion of the teabag I brewed out of sheer desperation. Maybe it was because I was sick, maybe it was the 2 packets of Splenda I added (no honey to be found) and maybe it was because a hot cup of ANYTHING would have helped, but I rather liked the Twinings. Not a holy grail, but...

I was surprised it was it did not have more aroma, but it was very pleasant for such a low cost tea . Overall, I liked this tea. I am a new tea drinker.

Lemon Twist from Twinings
Style: Lemon Black Tea – Region: ?????40 / 100 Aroma: 4/10 Flavor: 2/5 Value: 2/5
Jan. 2nd, 2014
Thanks to E. Alex Gerster for this sample. It was not my cup of tea but was interesting to try!
This tea smells lemony, but not intensely so. The lemon is a bit artificial smelling, more suggestive of lemon lifesavers or other lemon candy than natural lemon-scented herbs or actual lemon fruit. There is a hint of ...
Decaffeinated Chai (Chai Decaf) from Twinings
Style: Chai / Spiced Tea – Region: ?????80 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Dec. 29th, 2013
I like this tea. It has a nice blend of spices. The aroma is characterized by clove. I added cream and sugar. I notice that it's even better with vanilla added.

Dec. 21st, 2013
When I was a teenager, black tea with a slice of lemon was what you were served in most restaurants around Miami when you asked for a cup of tea. Nothing fancy, usually not anything very memorable, and usually some off name brand that the restaurant bought at a deep discount. It was more of something just to accompany ...

Breakfast Blend 100% Organic & Fair Trade Certified Tea from Twinings
Style: Black Tea – Region: Blend53 / 100 Aroma: 4/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 2/5
Dec. 11th, 2013
The third and last of my recent batch of free samples from Twinings; thank you again!
The tea bag is more aromatic than most. Brews a rich, strong cup, but the cup is not very aromatic.
Very strong flavor. I think this is stronger even than Twinings' Irish Breakfast, but it is quite different from either of the...
Darjeeling from Twinings
Style: Darjeeling Black Tea – Region: Darjeeling, India47 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 2/5 Value: 2/5
Dec. 3rd, 2013
Obtained through Twinings' free samples program, so I know the tea bag was fresh. Thank you to Twinings for the free sample!
The dry tea bag doesn't smell like much of anything. Upon brewing, it has a slightly stronger aroma, but overall the aroma is weak. I steeped for 3 minutes with boiling water.
Dark in co...
Pumpkin Spice Chai from Twinings

Nov. 23rd, 2013
I will start by saying that I usually like Twinings Tea. I mean, how can you not Love Twinings, the Author of 50 Shades seems to, and they have been doing tea for a long time. They definately have my respect, just not my love, for this tea. I don't know what it was, I couldn't put my finger on it, and I drank this 3...

English Afternoon from Twinings

Nov. 22nd, 2013
I received this as one of the three samples in Twinings free samples program. One thing I like about using a program like this is that I can be sure that the bag is fresh--which isn't always the case if I obtain the tea bag in a trade or sample it when out at some event or at another person's house. Twinings only gav...

Almond Chai from Twinings
Style: Flavored Black Tea – Region: Blend37 / 100 Aroma: 4/10 Flavor: 2/5 Value: 1/5
Nov. 18th, 2013
I strongly disliked this one, which is perhaps to be expected, as I dislike Twinings regular chai, although I thought this one was much worse. The nut aroma seemed artificial, the base tea was weak and uninteresting, and I didn't like the choice or blend of spices.
The aroma seems very artificial, and somewhat unpl...
Darjeeling from Twinings
Style: Darjeeling Black Tea – Region: Darjeeling, India80 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 5/5
Oct. 19th, 2013
I was expecting the taste of this Darjeeling tea to be quite bitter, however, it was refreshing. This tea was great value and even better than expected, the taste is refreshing and the aroma is not too strong and bitter like most black teas, nor too sweet. I would recommend this tea if you're looking for a tea which is...

Style: Chai / Spiced Tea – Region: ?????53 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 2/5 Value: 3/5
Oct. 11th, 2013
This one sort-of works--as the spices make it matter a lot less that the base tea is as bland as it is.
I tried this out of curiosity, open to the possibility that I might pour it out without drinking (as I have with some decaf teas). I was pleasantly surprised, which in retrospect, makes considerable sense, since ...
Irish Breakfast Decaffeinated from Twinings
Style: Irish Breakfast – Region: ?????37 / 100 Aroma: 4/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 1/5
Oct. 4th, 2013
I admit, I'm a tough customer when it comes to decaf tea--I just don't like it. I tried this out of curiosity, in a sense, to see relatively how bad it was.
Twinings Irish Breakfast, in my opinion, is a pretty decent tea--it's one of my favorite ones, and I like it much more than their English Breakfast, so this wa...

Sep. 17th, 2013
With Autumn coming up in the next few weeks, I thought I'd give my new collection of cinnamon spice teas a try. Twinings Orange & Cinnamon Spice was the first.
So, I wasn't all that impressed. I'll give them credit though... it did certainly make me think of fall, with a smell and texture reminding me of the coug...
