Pure Peppermint from Twinings
Style: Peppermint Tea – Region: ?????53 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 2/5
May. 17th, 2010
Less of the strong peppermint aroma than most peppermint teas...very dark in color, unusually so...more of the general leafy/herbaceous aroma. Not at all sour and very little bitterness or sweetness...this is primarily an aromatic tea.
Noticeably more complexity than Lipton's peppermint. Among bagged peppermint te...
Herbal Revive - Cherries and Madagascan Cinnamon from Twinings
Style: Herbal Tea – Region: Blend40 / 100 Aroma: 3/10 Flavor: 2/5 Value: 2/5
May. 14th, 2010
This tea brews a deep purplish red color...aroma is strong and artificial...suggestive of maraschino cherries, not like a real cherry. The brewed cup seems like it has a significant amount of hibiscus, both from the color and the sourness--this tea isn't quite as sour as Celestial seasonings' zingers or Tazo's passion...

African Honeybush, Mandarin and Orange from Twinings
Style: Flavored Honeybush – Region: ?????43 / 100 Aroma: 3/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 2/5
May. 12th, 2010
Aroma mostly of orange...no noticeable honeybush characteristics in the aroma, although the honeybush imparts a reddish brown color and a pleasant full-bodied character to this tea. The orange aroma has very little complexity. Nondescript flavor...not really sweet, sour, or bitter...this is a rather neutral tea that ...

Pomegranate Delight Black Tea from Twinings
Style: Fruit Black Tea – Region: ?????43 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 2/5 Value: 2/5
May. 6th, 2010
Unremarkable base black tea in this blend...not very aromatic. Fruity aroma is natural and pleasant, however...fairly strong but not overwhelming. Flavor is mostly sour...not so much that it's too sour but that there isn't really anything other than sourness in the flavor.
I found this tea to be disappointing. A ...
Pure Oolong (Formerly China Oolong) from Twinings
Style: Oolong Tea – Region: Fujian, China50 / 100 Aroma: 4/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Apr. 28th, 2010
The first sip of this oolong was delightful, but upon drinking a whole cup of it I wasn't as much of a fan. Significantly lighter than a black tea, the aroma is very floral, bordering on perfumey. Upon drinking more than a few sips, however, a lot of unpleasant qualities develop...there's a sourness, and some off qua...

Chai (formerly Indian Spiced Chai) from Twinings
Style: Chai / Spiced Tea – Region: ?????43 / 100 Aroma: 4/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 2/5
Apr. 28th, 2010
The package recommends to brew for 4-6 minutes...I brewed for four. The black tea in this teabag was exceptionally weak--the cup was a clear reddish color, and I brewed with only about 6oz. of water. However, the lack of a bold black tea presence was made up for by a strong aroma of spice.
There are different spic...
Lemon and Ginger from Twinings
Style: Herbal Tea – Region: ?????70 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Apr. 22nd, 2010
Has a fairly decent aroma as well as a nice balance between the lemon and ginger. It can be a bit bland, but is nice as an afternoon tea on a sunny day.

Blackcurrants, Ginseng, and Tahitian Vanilla from Twinings
Style: Herbal Tea – Region: Blend53 / 100 Aroma: 4/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Apr. 22nd, 2010
Slightly sour but still fruity. A very light tea that was nice during the day while reading a book or sitting around chatting. It was nice to drink when I was stressing out a little, but that could simply be because I was drinking tea. It is not one of my favorite teas, but not something I would avoid.

Fairly light overall, especially compared to Twinings' other black teas. There's some complexity in the aroma, in my opinion, more than their other black teas with the exception of their Ceylon (my favorite). Smooth...less astringency or bitterness. I find you can steep this one a little longer without it becoming t...

Didn't quite like it: the aroma was very kinda like lemon flavored soap or something, the flavor was dominated by this cul. Bah

Green Tea from Twinings
Style: Sencha – Region: ?????23 / 100 Aroma: 2/10 Flavor: 1/5 Value: 1/5
Dec. 7th, 2009
I was disappointed by this one, and this is my least favorite tea from Twinings yet. If you brew it with boiling water, it's very astringent. With water at a lower temperature, it's not flavorful enough. The aroma is muddled...this tea, unfortunately, seems to have acquired the worst aspects of a Sencha without the ...

Earl Grey from Twinings
Style: Earl Grey Tea – Region: ?????70 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Dec. 6th, 2009
Readily available, and not annoyingly heavy with the bergamot. The first Earl Grey I ever tried, and as such forms a baseline for comparison of other Earl Greys that I try.

Lapsang Souchong from Twinings

A decent lapsong souchong. Not the smokiest tea that I have ever had, but if you want a milder tea, this is a good one.

Fair nose dominated by the bergamot. Made from the bag, the steeped tea has no truly distinctive flavors. My guess is that by the time it made it through the distribution chain, all the life had oxidized out of this tea.

I love, love, love Lady Grey. It's not as strong as Earl Grey, but has a more fruity (citrus) flavor. Great with some honey and milk!

Twinings is a good tea but I've found what I consider comparable quality teas to be less expensive. For example, the "Publix Premium" brand Earl Grey, produced by a grocery chain here in the U.S., costs 30-40% less while being of about comparable quality to Twinings, in my opinion.
As others have said, Twinings is l...
Prince of Wales from Twinings
Style: Black Tea – Region: China63 / 100 Aroma: 4/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 5/5
Dec. 4th, 2009
This is one of my favorites for dinner. I brew it lightly, if it's brewed too strongly you don't get all the flavors. Probably one of the best, mass produced american teas. Hard to find in most stores, comes in both teabag variety and loose leaf. I prefer the loose leaf.

It's pretty good tea overall. This is one of the only brands of loose leaf tea available in my area, so I drink this stuff up often. It is, however, kind of dry in comparison to some other brands of Earl Grey I've tried. The Bergamot oil is pretty light in this brand.
Overall, it's worth keeping some around.

I've had this both loose and in teabags, and while it's definitely a lot better loose, it still tastes more or less like the same tea. I've always found Twinings' rendition of Earl Grey to be one of the more muted ones...both in the black tea and the bergamot. It has less bite than I'd expect, and is a bit more mello...

I have a soft spot in my heart for this tea. It's earl grey with less stridency and more heart. Yum.

Interesting in that it is oddly earl-grey-like but much more fruity. The black tea used in this blend seems to be lighter than the black tea used in a typical Earl Grey, which combined with the fruitiness makes for a lighter tea. I actually strongly prefer this to Twinings' earl grey.

I love oolong tea and wanted to find an economical choice, but I won't be buying this again. It had none of the delicacy or mystery I associate with oolong, though it did have a nice tannic kick.

Very fruity, dominated by the blackcurrant. Lacking complexity in the aroma. No bitterness...but very sour, too sour for me. I didn't really notice the ginseng or vanilla. I much prefer Twining's blackcurrant-flavored black tea.

Terrible. It doesn't really taste like anything other than cinnamon water. Smells nice, but is very deceiving.
