Twinings Earl Grey Loose Tea Tin, 7.05 Ounce Tin (Pack of 1), Smooth, Flavourful, Robust Black Tea Leaves, Caffeinated, Enjoy Hot or Iced

My favorite tea. Extremely popular for a reason. My only complaint is the last two times it was delivered, the tin had been dented. Maybe handle or ship more carefully.

Good tea.

Twinings invented Earl Grey tea and, for me, it's still the best. I've had the curious experience of drinking a tea that was heavy on tannin and yet very low on actual tea flavour--that was awful. I've had the experience of drinking a black tea that had flavour but almost no detectable tannins--that was curiously bland and lacking. Twinings Earl Grey is right in the middle and hits the right balance, for me, of tea flavour and tannin. Not too much tannin and not too little. The black tea flavour is distinct, the bergamot is distinct but not overwhelming, the aroma is delightful. Tea bags can be convenient but I think loose tea brews a fuller bodied cup. Perhaps it is only because I can easily adjust the amount of tea I use to suit the size of my cup so that I don't have to let the tea brew too long to try to get more flavour out of one standard-sized tea bag. Or maybe it really is because the tea leaves like to be able to stretch out and swim around in the pot or mug! Whatever the reason, I'm glad to have the option of buying loose tea.

New favorite flavor tea. The tin makes a lovely means to store the loose tea.

Very good tea flavour - I add milk of course. Yorkshire Gold a close second, but I was very pleased with Barry's. Tea bag flavour just cannot match that of using loose tea. Also, $3 cheaper here per tin, than buying at the local World Market.

Good tea in a great little tin. I love Twinnings tea, but I ordered it in a tin because I wanted to use the pretty tin. Unfortunately, it was shipped in a thin paper bag and the tin got bent up. Still usable, but not so pretty.

Tea is fine. Amazon paper pouch did not protect the tea tin.

I’ve always liked the Lady Grey tea bags but thought I’d give the loose tea a try. Oh my, it’s even more flavorful than the bags, and bags are no slouch! I use 1 heaping tsp per 8 oz water and let steep about 5 minutes, using a stainless steel in-cup infuser. The only disappointment was the tin was delivered with a dent in the lid, but of course that doesn’t affect the quality of the tea itself. I just like reusing Twinings’ tins for other things when they’re empty.
