Twinings

Pure and simple – a mild taste. Tastes good with milk, too.

Backlogging! Does the job!

Backlogging…

Back logging 3 separate cups over the last few days

Yum. Yup! Nice Afternoon Black Tea in a Bag.

Excellent! True English Breakfast – Hard to believe it’s Decaf.

When I noticed this tea was getting harder to find in my area, I bought a couple of boxes. Not too long after that the magic kind of faded and I just don’t love this tea that much any more. I still enjoy it when I’m in the mood for a very “fruity” tea but honestly that’s not very frequently. There’s nothing wrong with this blend, per se, but I think my tastes have just changed over the last couple of years.

I pulled this out today and noticed that I still have quite a bit to get through so I might donate it to work so that I get through it a bit faster than just drinking it all by myself. I accidently steeped it a tad too long, but it didn’t get bitter so that was a nice bonus! This blend definitely makes me think of summer and it’s in the 60s today so it was a good match. :)

Felt like a fruity black tea today, so this was the pick. I was kind of specifically craving cherry, so I probably should’ve gone with Four Red Fruits instead, but this was close enough. Nice summery blend for sure!

Pulled this out to drink today after not having it for a while. The fruit notes are very strong, and it’s quite different from any of the other blends I own. I think I mostly enjoy it for the uniqueness, though, and not really for the specific flavour of the blend. I never crave it but it’s nice whenever I remember to drink it!

I can’t pick out many of the individual flavours in this blend, but it all works nicely together. I had a hard time finding this in stores, so I bought several boxes when I did find it (and it looks like it’s been discontinued again). That’s a shame, because it’s quite different. Good with milk or without as well.

One of the first non-herbal teas I tried. Good flavor, but a bit too mild for my taste.

Drank this yesterday morning during my first lecture of the semester!

Backlogging…yummie…

First Cup of the day with Wildtree Banana Bread (hate bananas but like most banana bread…weirdo, I know!)

Doesn’t seem as strong today…and I have oversteep a great deal…still pleasant tho.

Please and Thank You :)

Of the bagged Variety to end my work day…yay!

First tea for today for me

Decided to finally join the Twinings English Breakfast Gang…the most popular tea on Steepster as of June 09. Super dark in color. Strong Black Tea scent. D-lish Black Tea taste without going overboard. Yummy. Little to no after taste which is always a plus. Good Cup!

The dry tea is multicolored, finely milled, with a fruity aroma. A 4 min steep gave me a rosy liquor which was unfortunately too bitter to drink without milk and sugar. Compared to the fine Mim Darjeeling I had recently, this tea appears a candidate for making into chai.

Smooth and mild describes it well.

Single cup, 3 raw sugar.
