115 Tasting Notes
Better than Twinings “Irish Breakfast”, which uses lower grade Assam tea. This Golden Flowery Orange Pekoe grade is quite delicious. The golden tips added nice flavor, and the aroma of the dry tea was very pleasant. It wasn’t until I sipped some, that I realized how great of an Assam this was. This is one of the more memorable Assams I have tried. I definitely recommend this tea as a MUST try!
Preparation
This is the second tea I ever tasted from Twinings. It seems like so long ago, and always brings back great memories whenever I drink some. It is not quite an Earl Grey, and has wonderful lemon and citrus notes. This is NOT a malty tea, nor is it brisk; it is very light, and should be enjoyed from noon until night.
Preparation
As soon as I saw the cornflower petals in the ingredients, I thought of Twinings “Lady Grey”, and was very excited. When I opened the tin, the fresh bergamot, and other elements ensured a tasty liquor. This is definitely one of the memorable Earl Greys which I have tasted.
Preparation
A close childhood friend of mine is Punjabi, and whenever I visit, I am treated to wonderful, homemade Chai tea. Although this tea is not the same as the homemade version I am used to, I found it to be quite delightful in the Autumn.
Preparation
This is a great breakfast tea in my opinion, and is very brisk and malty. There is a definite presence of an Assam tea (Not one of the highest grades). I prefer Twinings “Finest Assam 2nd Flush” tea, which contains a much higher grade of teas, and a better flavor.
Preparation
I was quite surprised with this one. I received this tea as a gift (not for a birthday, or other special occasion, but because my family knows my deep appreciation for tea). I usually do not like Lipton, and try to stay away from it. As for this tea, I had to try it, and was astonished by its malty flavor. However, this tea contained MANY stems on a stem-to-leaf ratio. This is not close to the best tea I have had, but if I am offered Lipton again, this is the tea I will choose (as it is better than their other teas).
