Twinings

Single Cup, 1 Truvia

Picked this up at the local ‘On the Run’ garage, sort of an upscale version of 711 in Cairo. A step up from the ol’ Lipton standard we’re provided with at work. Just a lil’ somethin’ to make the morning tea a little more delightful.

Late night in Stockholm, relaxing.

Quite milky, half a sugar. Nice & light, quite weakly brewed.

Milk & half a sugar

As a die-hard, longtime coffee drinker who is just now beginning to explore the world of teas, I really enjoy having the Lapsang Souchong as my first cup of the day. Its smokiness and dark richness make it a fine coffee substitute.

Much better than Twinings English Breakfast.

This is one of the last entries of me finishing up a box of various Twinings offerings I got as a gift a while ago. A little more flavorful than Twinings’ English Breakfast. In a good way, too. A sort of slight nutty bitterness. Still not blowing my mind, but it’s pleasant drinking, so I dig it.

Bergamot is almost overwhelming, but the tea itself is strong enough to balance it. I dig.

I’m kinda torn on this one. It’s inoffensive, but not particularly blowing my mind. It’s black tea. That’s all. Alright quality. A reluctant thumbs up.

Wasn’t too fond of the smell before I took the first sip, but once I did take a sip, I was pleased.

Hella bergamot on this one. Fairly well balanced, though. Also a bit weaker than the typical Earl Grey, but that definitely makes it better for something I’m drinking before bed. Also, it doesn’t hold up very well to re-steeping.

Tried this for the first time today (black) and it was great. I love rooibos tea! There’s a very slight orange taste to it, but the scent of the orange-goodness was more definite.

This tea was delicious. Mixed with a little milk and sugar. Perfect for relaxing after a long day at work!

Great smokey flavor. Makes me think of the smoke from a camp fire. I would describe it as camping in your mouth…if you get what I mean. Good if you’re in the mood for an earthy, woodsy tasting tea. Could be a little strong and distinct if you’re looking for something with a little more subtlety.

I came across this tea at first in a assorted pack from Twinings, and fell in love. It’s best black—with just a hint of sugar. It has a slight lemon afterglow to it.

I drank this… unfortunately. bitter, dusty, yuk. This tea is so much crap.

Yes, every day. I’m running low on this now! Twinings does what they set out to do: inexpensive, everyday teas to keep you going.

Every morning in Spring and Summer I drink this tea with just a little milk. It’s lighter than the Scottish Breakfast I drink through Autumn and Winter.

With Soy Milk and Agave sweetner this is the tastiest beverage around.
