drank The Earl Grey by Twinings
332 tasting notes

My husband returned to UK recently for work and picked up some teabags for me… as I’m currently at my parents’ I took them with me to have a cuppa in the morning.
Twinings has indeed a very fine reputation (I read Martin’s review from a few years ago and I must admit he made a great observation) but as far as the teabags go, they might smell nicely dry, once steeped the tea goes way down in appreciation! Black tea base is quite ordinary and I think the bergamot flavouring doesn’t really come out in taste. Because the flavouring doesn’t seem artificial, my rating of the tea is still above 50.

Flavors: Citrusy, Tea

Preparation
205 °F / 96 °C 2 min, 30 sec 8 OZ / 250 ML

Bio

Introduced to tea by my sister-in-law in my country of birth = Belgium more than 30 years ago, I still love tea, mainly black, which I enjoy without sugar or milk. Having lived in UK, near good tea shops (e.g. Betty´s all over Yorkshire), I tend to buy most of my tea in bulk from tea shops (as such, most of these are not represented in my on-line cupboard). Nowadays, I live in Spain where tea gives me another sensatory bliss (as wine or beer or coffee can give me too).
