Pure Camomile (Chamomile) from Twinings
Style: Pure Chamomile Tea – Region: ?????72 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Jun. 27th, 2018
Twinings has disappointed me time and again with their true teas and tea blends, so admittedly I tried their pure chamomile bag expecting it to both smell and taste old and weak. Much to my surprise, it was neither on either sense.
The dry bag was remarkably well-stuffed with chopped blossoms, offering an aroma o...

English Breakfast from Twinings
Style: English Breakfast – Region: ?????55 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Jun. 7th, 2018
This was my introduction to black tea, so it was interesting to try it again recently. It has that specific malty, woody aroma that makes me think "English Breakfast". The flavor is rather bland compared to everything I've been drinking lately, but I did notice a mild dried fruit note that I never picked up when I used...

Jasmine Green Tea from Twinings
Style: Jasmine Tea – Region: ?????33 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 1/5 Value: 2/5
Jun. 7th, 2018
I got this before I got into loose leaf tea, otherwise I wouldn't have bothered. As with most cheap jasmine green teas, it smells better than it tastes, but that's especially true for bagged jasmine. It has a sour vegetal flavor that barely resembles a decent loose leaf green tea. I used a few bags to scent some gunpow...

Earl Grey from Twinings
Style: Earl Grey Tea – Region: ?????60 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Apr. 9th, 2018
Just spent a week drinking this tea. We were on a week long backpacking trip and since She Who Must Be Obeyed likes Earl Grey I packed this. Drank it every morning. It was hot, caffeinated and quite enjoyable, actually. Smoother and much more bergamot flavor than the bag of Bigelow's Earl Grey that had somehow hitched ...

Green Tea Decaffeinated from Twinings
Style: Green Tea – Region: ?????34 / 100 Aroma: 4/10 Flavor: 2/5 Value: 4/5
Jan. 29th, 2018
Not great - not undrinkable and still a better choice (for me, anyway) than the standar issues Lipton Black that our office provides.
No caffeine, no complexity, no color - I steeped it over 4 minutes, only a plae green and a few whiffs of grassy/vegetal notes.
I confess, I added sweetener - I just needed a hot ...
Green Tea from Twinings

Jan. 29th, 2018
Had a teabag stashed in my work bag - and lo and behold it was Twinings Green tea - not even sure where I got it from - not from home - likely from an office or an event I had been to
So I was hankerin' for something OTHER that the Lipton "Wake dat a$$ up" black tea in the office so i brewed up the Twinings Green. ...
Prince of Wales (Loose) from Twinings
Style: Black Tea – Region: China75 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Jan. 10th, 2018
Less tannic and lighter than English Breakfast blends, this tea is my go-to for afternoon sipping. A quintessential Chinese offering and packed in a tin.

Overpriced for what you get. I like the tin though. This is a utility tea; it'll wake you up without being unpleasant tasting.

Prince of Wales (Loose) from Twinings
Style: Black Tea – Region: China60 / 100 Aroma: 4/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Oct. 12th, 2017
I felt at the first sip of this tea like swallowing a gulf of bonfire smoke, or, say, some embers (for its slightly-sweet finish). When I have a one-hundred-gram tin of Prince of Wales, a cuppa at afternoon tea time would bring me a shot in the arm in my dull everyday routines as if to go camping on a weekend and have ...

Oct. 9th, 2017
The golden tag accompanying the bag says, "Over 300 years of experience." To adapt something an old professor of mine used to say: "Experience is only an advantage if you learn and improve. If you stay the same, you might as well have one year of experience repeated 300 times." Given the unimpressive character of t...

Pure Camomile (Chamomile) from Twinings
Style: Pure Chamomile Tea – Region: ?????86 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 5/5
Oct. 6th, 2017
Hands down, this is the best Chamomile tea you can purchase. I steep mine for 5 minutes. The taste is authentically Chamomile, with no chemical taste what so ever. The tea is so powerful that it actually quells my anxiety and makes me a tiny bit sleepy. (Chamomile does that regardless). I believe this to be because of...

I should preface this by saying before discovering twinnings, the only teas I were used to were the walmart bargain brands. So, my expectations were exceptionally low. I had just seen that it was the most expensive Green Tea at walmart, and being one that enjoys Green Tea for it's health benefits, I figured i'd try the...

Earl Grey Decaffeinated from Twinings
Style: Earl Grey Tea – Region: ?????37 / 100 Aroma: 2/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Sep. 30th, 2017
As of this writing, the Cracker Barrel restaurant chain has started offering this tea as their mainstay Earl Grey for service, without telling the customer up front that it is decaffeinated. My wife ordered hot tea, expecting the usual (if tolerable) Lipton rubbish, and got this rubbish instead.
I need to qualify t...
English Breakfast (Loose) from Twinings
Style: English Breakfast – Region: Blend42 / 100 Aroma: 2/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Sep. 8th, 2017
Twinings teas in general consistently fail to impress me, though before this, I mostly had tried a few of their bagged offerings. A box of this was available at an estate sale, really cheap, so I figured to give it a run. While it's better than their bagged teas, and not a bad tea at all, I'm still no fan.
For a...
Irish Breakfast from Twinings

Jul. 28th, 2017
Been drinking this for 20-something years. Even back in my coffee drinking days, this is what was thrown in the food sack when we'd go out backpacking and climbing. Brewed with mountain stream water over a butane cooker on a cold mountain morning, this tea did the trick. It's strong with a good flavor. One of it's mai...

Jul. 26th, 2017
The commercial description of this tea is pretty grandiose...it makes it sound like a masterpiece of blending, and I would say it's not.
To me, this is a classic but somewhat run-of-the-mill blend that is enjoyable but stands out in no way. I would not describe it as complex, although it's a good bit more complex, ...

Jul. 26th, 2017
Other reviews of this tea seemed to be about the bagged variety, so I hope it's OK to create a new category.
This is the first loose leaf tea I ever tried, mostly because it's the only one I could find. It's about $10 for 7ozs. at Cost Plus.
It has a faint smell in the can. It has small leaves with flecks of go...

After having originally drank the earl grey from Twinnings for a couple weeks, I decided I wanted to try some of their other types, and I had been drinking this one ever since. I'd arguably say that this tea is not quite as powerful as the earl grey, but it's smoother, and doesn't have any overpowering aftertaste. The ...

Honestly speaking, this was one of the brands I was introduced to after having finally moved from your typical, go to cheap teas (y'know, the luzianne brand people make in gallons) I was really interested in the taste. It's bold- enough for some that aren't used to this kind of tea like myself to be put off at first- b...

I was excited to try this tea the afternoon I purchased it. Everything was going well. The aroma was great, the color was pleasing, and I could tell off the bat that this wouldn't be a knock off of Twining's English Breakfast Tea. As I took my first sip, I Way disappointed to say in the least. the flavor was rather pep...

This light tea has a very unique flavor. It tastes very warm and toasty but is to hard to describe. The teas color is a very satisfying golden-yellow color and smells lovely. I definetly reccomend this great tea to anyone who wants to try something new! For all you know, it could be your new favorite flavor!

This tea is a great twist on earl grey tea. There's a strong presence of citrus in this tea which creates a very unique flavor. Though this isn't in any means my favorite tea, it's a great blend to mix up your routine and try something new! I definetly recommend this tea to anyone that is a fan of citrus "which I am no...

Great tea! Very similar to English breakfast tea but is seasoned with lemon and bergamot I believe. The flavor and aroma is absolutely extraordinary! Great with a slash of milk on a Saturday morning! I trade off every week between twinning's earl grey and English breakfast tea. I reccomend this to others because you ne...
