This is a pretty decent, strong black tea bag. I don't quite like it as much as Twinings' Ceylon Orange Pekoe, but it's close, and it's bolder tasting. The teabag contains fine dust, but it produces a good flavor.

Aroma is malty and rich; a few of the wintergreen tones I so love in tea, and the finish is mostly of rice. Tastes like a blend of Assam and Ceylon.

Smooth enough that you can steep for 3 minutes or even longer, but it does become somewhat bitter and astringent.

I'd be quite content to drink this stuff. I think it's among the better teas sold by Twinings, and above average for the basic brands of tea bags you can find in any supermarket.
