Twinings Earl Grey Loose Black Tea Tins, 7.05 Ounce Tins (Pack of 6), Flavoured with Citrus and Bergamot, Caffeinated, Enjoy Hot or Iced

Twinings invented Earl Grey tea and, for me, it's still the best. I've had the curious experience of drinking a tea that was heavy on tannin and yet very low on actual tea flavour--that was awful. I've had the experience of drinking a black tea that had flavour but almost no detectable tannins--that was curiously bland and lacking. Twinings Earl Grey is right in the middle and hits the right balance, for me, of tea flavour and tannin. Not too much tannin and not too little. The black tea flavour is distinct, the bergamot is distinct but not overwhelming, the aroma is delightful. Tea bags can be convenient but I think loose tea brews a fuller bodied cup. Perhaps it is only because I can easily adjust the amount of tea I use to suit the size of my cup so that I don't have to let the tea brew too long to try to get more flavour out of one standard-sized tea bag. Or maybe it really is because the tea leaves like to be able to stretch out and swim around in the pot or mug! Whatever the reason, I'm glad to have the option of buying loose tea.

My favorite tea. Extremely popular for a reason. My only complaint is the last two times it was delivered, the tin had been dented. Maybe handle or ship more carefully.

Love the tea always by the tea

Absolutely delicious! Upon first opening the contents do look quite brown and l bought this tea mainly because of the blackcurrant, but it also contains hibiscus so the overall brown tone was a little concerning. It brews to a beautiful ruby red and is absolutely delicious. No one flavour is overpowering, l like lavender but don't want to be punched in the face by it and it's very subtle in this tea. The thing that most surprised me is that it tastes creamy. Highly recommended.

Very good tea flavour - I add milk of course. Yorkshire Gold a close second, but I was very pleased with Barry's. Tea bag flavour just cannot match that of using loose tea. Also, $3 cheaper here per tin, than buying at the local World Market.

Good tea in a great little tin. I love Twinnings tea, but I ordered it in a tin because I wanted to use the pretty tin. Unfortunately, it was shipped in a thin paper bag and the tin got bent up. Still usable, but not so pretty.

Good tea.

Twin Ing's! First time buying the Tin!! First few sips, the taste, is an experience, familiarity returning in the second half of That First Cup. With 3.5% Milk/Leche and granulated cane sugar (C&H here in California), the absolute minimum necessary for taste. Don't buy WAR RATION TEA BAGS buy the Tin. A cooking pot, enough scoops, 15 minutes low heat. Too much is poison, immunize yourself.
