Bought this one yesterday just because I am a big fan of Twinings and English blends in general. I am sadly disappointed. It’s hard to call it tea. It is just dusty powder, the one that you find in the cheapest teabags sold in markets. Smells and tastes like a typical, cheap Indian Assam CTC tea. What happened to Twinings? I love Gunpowder and Prince of Walles, I used to drink a lot of Lady Grey, but this one is complete disaster and shame to your company.

I was just looking around on here and ran across this review, and wanted to say I agree completely. I don’t drink that much commercial tea of this type but Twinings Earl Grey isn’t that bad while this tea is awful. It should be possible to get cheap Assam and Ceylon that are each better than this alone and even more balanced mixed. You might look into Halmari’s web page, especially their oolong version, which is not that far from decent second flush Darjeeling in style.
