Earl Grey (loose leaf)

This could be one of those “now that I’ve tasted loose leaf, I’m never going back.” It really is much better than bagged tea. I never thought I would drink a black tea this smooth. The flavor isn’t very strong because I didn’t use much leaf and I put it in a big cup, but it’s still really good.

I say it could be one, because while I like it a lot, 1) I don’t have the budget to buy as many different kinds of loose leaf tea as I have in bagged tea and 2) this tea still isn’t good enough to make me unlazy. I’m glad I bought a tin of loose leaf so that I can enjoy the good stuff when I like and still throw teabags around when I just don’t want to think too much about the particulars of my tea.

This is the tea I probably drink more than any other. I’ve tried other Earl Grey teas but none really come close.

2 sugars with lemon or just lemon depending on my mood.

It’s unexceptional, but really pleasant to drink. Probably the best tea I’ve tried from Twinings, definitely better than the English Breakfast.

It’s also the only loose leaf tea available in my nearest shop, so works well as a standby when I haven’t bought anything else.

So far, the only EG that isn’t like drinking straight bergamot oil

An old, comfortable standby.

Love the fragrance, very satisfying taste. You can’t go wrong with this Earl Grey!

I agree with many of the other reviews here – it isn’t the most subtle Earl Grey, nor is it the best quality, but it was one of my first loves, and “tastes like home.”
I used to keep a tin of it and a slotted spoon in my locker at school, and it was a reward at the end of the day. There is a singular flavour to it that I’m in the mood for sometimes, and the finer Earl Greys don’t have the same effect.

In my school yearbook, I was voted “Most Likely to move to the U.K. and live off croissants and Earl Grey Tea.” My tea tastes have changed, and I prefer scones these days, but although they meant it in jest, they were right about me.

One of my favorite EG.

The original Twinings Earl Grey was wonderful. It was unparalleled, but they decided to change the blend. They turned it into something which tastes like a lemon cleaning product. Vile (when compared to the previous blend).

I really enjoy this tea when im in a lazy mood. I used 2 teabags for a 24oz cup and let it steep for a bit longer than suggested. Delicious with some milk and sugar! I always have a box of this around.

Good. Bryan likes to add sugar to this.

Mix with 1/3 Darjeeling and it becomes the best iced tea. Alone, it will always be delicious hot or cold.

I drink this with milk and sugar. It’s a good morning or lunch tea.

Perfect morning tea, however cliched that may be. I love getting up in the morning and fixing myself a cup of Earl Grey, and nothing beats loose-leaf for that. I like to steep this tea a little long to allow a stronger flavor that stands up to having a touch of milk added.

One of my first experiences with earl grey, but I love it. Best with a little sugar and milk.

Delightful. Delicious. Good with milk. :)

I keep this in my tea chest for cold & flu season. The more robust flavor (compared to Lady Grey) penetrates a stuffy head and soothes a scratchy throat.

Good basic Earl Gey – never thought I liked Earl Grey, but I do like this.

Dec 6/12

One of most refreshing teas ever, drinkable at any time of day. Fresh flavor of Bergamot comes instantly, even before the temperature of tea. Classic.
