English Classic Cold Brewed Iced Tea from Twinings
87

So this tea just made my 3 year old brother like tea. Dang.

Twinings, you’ve managed to make me come back for more. Hoo-ee! THIS, my friends, is a good cup of iced tea! I reckon I oversteeped the thing though.

Gunpowder Green Tea from Twinings
65

Honestly, being a lover of lightish teas, I enjoy this tea. It’s really light! I don’t really drink any green teas, but I could totally get into this!

Prince of Wales (loose leaf) from Twinings
93

This time, it was stronger, maybe because this time I didn’t resteep it and drink the second steep (I know I’m weird). But this time, I drink the first steep. It’s still REALLY good! Thank you to my wonderful stepfather for getting me this dee-licious cuppa!

Let me just say something here. One, this tastes like sh*t. Two, I do NOT like spiced teas. Three, this tea smells Christmasy!

English Breakfast from Infinitea Teahouse
57
Darjeeling 1st Flush from Infinitea Teahouse
50

This was just an OK tea. I got an ounce of the stuff at the Eau Claire location of Infinitea (which is f*cking awesome!)

Prince of Wales (loose leaf) from Twinings
93

This is, so far, the best tea I’ve drunk. It’s ALSO my first loose-leaf tea! Anyway, I nice mild cup, just right for my tastes, considering I’m not a fan of more astringent teas

I cannot wait to try this! If it’s good, I’ll bring it to school in a pinch!

English Afternoon Tea from Twinings
84

I put this at the same rating as Twinings’ amazing English Breakfast tea because it tastes almost identical, just a bit smokier.

Lady Grey from Twinings
44

Oh, Lady Grey, I hope you don’t taste as absolutely AWFUL as your spouse, the Earl Grey from Twinings. But, without further ado…

Meh, it isn’t great, but I could drink this if forced to.

Earl Grey from Twinings
5

Dearest Earl Grey:
I believe you don’t have the right to be in my cupboard anymore. Your wife, Lady Grey, may stay. Maybe I understeeped or oversteeped you. But, hey, my stepfather likes you!

Earl Grey from Twinings

Notes before tasting:

Awesome, sort-of sharp smell
Got it in Black Tea Variety Pack
Other teas in pack are Irish Breakfast, English Breakfast, and Lady Grey.
Bought seperately: English Afternoon.

Tasting:

Well, without further ado…
Extremely light, with a really good citrusy aftertaste
Best without milk, but with just a pinch of milk it is OK.

Lipton Black Tea from Lipton
36

It’s an okay cuppa. Also, it was the first of two teas I drank at Sue Kolve’s Salon. I guess, it’s just basically a CUP O’ TEA. Sadly, I don’t believe it’s Chinese or British-made but for an American cup it’s good.

English Breakfast from Twinings
84

A great cuppa to wake you up, definitely. I added a small amount of milk and it tasted like, well, BLACK TEA. Either way, freaking great tea, you can bet I’ll buy more from Twinings.

Genuine Green Tea from Pickwick
76

This was a good tea, but when I steeped it, it put on a rather different colour than I expected…Adding milk did nothing to the taste, which is almost exactly like black tea, with the addition of an aftertaste.
