Almond Chai from Twinings
Style: Flavored Black Tea – Region: Blend60 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Aug. 27th, 2013
I tried this because I usually like chai and nut flavored teas. This tea has too much cinnamon for my taste, and it seems to overwhelm the other flavors. I like the almond. The base tea isn't very strong. I added cream and sugar.

Lady Grey from Twinings
Style: Fruit Black Tea – Region: Blend53 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 1/5 Value: 4/5
Aug. 19th, 2013
I have no complaints about the aroma, it smells like a mix of oranges and lemons, which is pleasant, especially first thing in the morning when you need an extra zing.
Sadly the flavor left a lot to be desired, it tasted too artificial. Like drinking a particularly weak tea that accidentally had some perfume dumped...
Earl Grey from Twinings
Style: Earl Grey Tea – Region: ?????77 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Aug. 17th, 2013
The first thing that struck me about this tea was the aroma, this might be the first Earl Grey I have sampled where you can smell the tea under the Bergamot. So often with Earl Grey I can never get a feel for the tea's aroma because I am too busy being kicked in the face with Bergamot. The aroma is fantastic, smooth an...

Green Tea from Twinings
Style: Sencha – Region: ?????53 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 2/5
Aug. 16th, 2013
This tastes like a typical low-quality green tea. I don't usually like green tea very much. I like this better than higher quality green teas, but nothing stands out to me about it. It has a very mild flavor. I added cream and sugar.

Irish Breakfast from Twinings
Style: Irish Breakfast – Region: ?????60 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Aug. 15th, 2013
When I first tried this tea, I was quite young, and hated it. I can only assume that my young palate had not grown accustomed to strong black teas, because now I find it much more agreeable.
The flavor and aroma are both fairly good, much better than the English Breakfast tea. Definitely malty, and it takes very w...
English Breakfast from Twinings
Style: English Breakfast – Region: ?????40 / 100 Aroma: 3/10 Flavor: 2/5 Value: 3/5
Aug. 15th, 2013
This tea is nothing special. It's a pity, you'd expect Twinings to get at least a basic English Breakfast tea right, but sadly this one falls short. Not only is the flavor lacking, but it's easily overbrewed, and tends towards the bitter side.
If one manages to properly brew it, there's still nothing to write ho...
Jasmine Green Tea from Twinings
Style: Jasmine Tea – Region: ?????60 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Aug. 8th, 2013
Not overwhelming in any sense of the word, but I do like to keep this blend kicking around the cupboard. The jasmine is more present in the smell than the flavor. In fact, it tastes more like a straight-up, mild green tea than anything else.
It's very easy to overbrew, so be careful, but overall it's all right. ...
Lady Grey from Twinings
Style: Fruit Black Tea – Region: Blend47 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 2/5 Value: 3/5
Aug. 6th, 2013
I was unimpressed with this variation on the classic Earl Grey. Of course, this blend lacks the bergamot which makes Earl Grey so distinctive, I think in an attempt to soften the flavor. Unfortunately, for me it softens the flavor too much.
To me this tea tastes weak and thin. While the overall blend of citrus is...
Chai (formerly Indian Spiced Chai) from Twinings
Style: Chai / Spiced Tea – Region: ?????57 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Aug. 6th, 2013
This is a decent chai, pretty standard fare as far as bagged chai teas go. Like most Twinings teas, it is not as strong as I would like. However, it's easy to find and there is nothing particularly fantastic or horrible about the flavor.
Nothing to write home about, but a reliable and easily obtainable chai tea.
Earl Grey from Twinings
Style: Earl Grey Tea – Region: ?????57 / 100 Aroma: 4/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Aug. 6th, 2013
This was the first Earl Grey I ever had, and so I cannot help but compare every Earl Grey since with this one. Probably a bad habit, as this is not an exemplary blend.
The overall flavor is pleasant, mild, and unobtrusive. The scent leaves something to be desired, as does the strength. As Earl Greys go, this one ...
Premium Black Tea - Pure Mint from Twinings
Style: Black Tea with Mint – Region: Blend67 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Aug. 6th, 2013
This is my go-to Twinings tea. Why? I enjoy the strong, minty scent, and in the winter it is most comforting.
That said, the actual flavor leaves something to be desired. It does taste mostly of mint, with only the barest hint of black tea underneath. Now, the minty taste is the reason I like it, but I fully und...
French Vanilla Chai from Twinings
Style: Vanilla Chai – Region: ?????73 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Aug. 5th, 2013
This tea doesn't smell much like chai, it smells like a combination of orange peel and caramel. I actually really like the flavor, though. I had to brew it for 7 minutes to make it strong enough. The flavors blend together pretty well. I added cream and sugar.

Lapsang Souchong from Twinings
Style: Lapsang Souchong – Region: ?????37 / 100 Aroma: 4/10 Flavor: 2/5 Value: 1/5
Jul. 8th, 2013
I just don't care for smoked teas (lapsang souchong) and this one had an almost cigarett-y/tarry scent to it (more of an aroma than a taste - thank goodness). Just not my bag at all! And terrible iced. Barely tolerable hot.
What possessed me to try this? I should know better by now. At least it was free (had thi...
Orange & Cinnamon Spice from Twinings
Style: Herbal Tea – Region: Blend30 / 100 Aroma: 2/10 Flavor: 2/5 Value: 1/5
Jun. 29th, 2013
This tea has a strong aroma of orange, but the aroma seems artificial...a little like orange-flavored popsickles, orange starburst, Sunny D, or any number of artificial orange-flavored things.
I found this tea also left a tingly sensation on my palate...similar to blends including clove. I didn't taste much clove i...
Irish Breakfast from Twinings
Style: Irish Breakfast – Region: ?????70 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 4/5
Jun. 28th, 2013
The aroma and flavor of this tea were not overwhelming, it had the typical maltiness of Assam and the tanginess of Ceylon but both were muted.
The flavor, although muted, is really pleasant and a good bagged tea for when you first wake up and really just want a quick, tasty, cup of tea. Very evocative of the tea I ...
Ultra Spice Chai from Twinings
Style: Chai / Spiced Tea – Region: ?????60 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Jun. 4th, 2013
What a delicate, light tea! There is nothing "ultra" about it - it's nicely balanced and has a great taste, but don't expect spice. Milk and sugar are good in it, but not to excess, because they can cover the taste of this tea up pretty quickly.

I can't stand Earl Grey - and yet I have tried many of them. Sometimes I try when I am at a convention or hotel or in an office or deli that carries Twinings. In this case they were all out of the other kids of teas and it was this or coffee - so I gave it a go (hot with a bit of splenda). Not as good as some I've t...

Earl Grey Decaffeinated from Twinings
Style: Earl Grey Tea – Region: ?????33 / 100 Aroma: 4/10 Flavor: 2/5 Value: 1/5
May. 13th, 2013
Yech! I am not an Earl Grey fan to begin with and this one not only has synthetic Bergamot notes (Think limonene from a lab!) it is also decaf and not worth drinking. Sorry, Twinings, but this bagged tea is not my fave at all! Stash makes a better one - but I hate that, too.
Earl Grey - it's just not my bag!
Irish Breakfast from Twinings
Style: Irish Breakfast – Region: ?????67 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 4/5
May. 6th, 2013
This tea wasn't as strong as I expected, considering that it's an Irish Breakfast. Then again I've never been one to think that Irish Breakfast is strong, I've had stronger Assams. I'm a big fan of smells, so I appreciate its roasted aroma. I wouldn't go out of my way for this tea, but I liked it overall and would dr...

I enjoyed the strong flavor of this tea and thought that it was a good brew. The only thing I was a little disappointed about was the smell. The smell of Bergamot is one of my favorite things about Earl Grey, and this tea didn't deliver. I liked the tea overall, and look forward to trying other styles from Twinings.

Pomegranate & Raspberry from Twinings
Style: Fruit (Herbal) Tea – Region: Blend53 / 100 Aroma: 4/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Apr. 26th, 2013
I enjoyed this blend much more than I thought I would, and much more than typical for a fruity herbal blend in a tea bag. It's very light and pleasant.
Brews a cup with a pale pink color and a very fruity aroma that I find cloying.
In spite of the off-putting aroma, the flavor is much more subdued and pleasant, ...
Nightly Calm (Bedtime Blend) from Twinings
Style: Herbal Tea – Region: Blend47 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Apr. 19th, 2013
This tastes a lot like a knock-off of Celestial Seasonings Sleepytime. I love the combination of spearmint and chamomile. It's very good...but I don't like the fact that it's so unoriginal.
The dominant aroma is of spearmint and chamomile...I don't notice either of the lemony herbs very much.
I think Twinings g...
Lady Grey from Twinings
Style: Fruit Black Tea – Region: Blend90 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 5/5
Apr. 15th, 2013
Although it is a relatively inexpensive tea, I really enjoy this lady grey from Twinings. Those who enjoy a more subtle flavor of tea will enjoy this. It has a slightly fruity taste which I enjoy. It's the best when eating sweets I think. The light citrus flavor will compliment tart fruit flavors and offset sweeter fla...
