Twinings of London Ceylon Orange Pekoe Tea Bags, 20 Count (Pack of 6)

Smooth and aromatic

Twinings Orange Pekoe has for years and years been my go-to tea for iced "regular" tea (and by regular I mean not fruity or herbally or flavored). It has a gorgeous, gorgeous color and a flavor that seems to brighten with ice. And it's great hot with some milk or cream. When I'm sick, I go through boxes of this stuff and it's a comfort beverage for me. However, I stopped buying it for a while. After the box design changed, I twice got batches that were, no other way to put it, tasteless. I mean, nothing. Watery tea. Crappy iced tea. Flat, not rounded and rich. I was heartbroken and went in search of other teas. Even went back to reliable old Lipton. But recently, I went to an Italian market, saw it on the shelf, and on impulse tried it again. It was back to being great. So, I got this 6 box supply here for a decent price. I'm back to my happy, happy iced tea experience. I don't know what the heck went wrong with the tea that put me on a Twinings hiatus, but that was weird. I see someone else on here (Rebecca Bryant reviewer) had a similar experience. Huh. Well, it's good now. :D Yay.

These tea bags are not Ceylon Orange Pekoe, they are a blend of Ceylon Orange Pekoe and another black tea. So nice, but not entirely what I expected.

I rarely can find these in any supermarket so I'm glad to have found them here. Better price too.

Great tasting tea. Very smooth. Yummy!
