Earl Grey (loose leaf)

This makes a great iced tea.

I drink it every morning religiously, with a dash of soy milk and honey. Lovely notes of bergamot, smooth tea, and avoids the icky ‘liquor’ taste of other, lower quality Earl Greys. As for steep times, to be honest I usually skip my careful measurements of steep time altogether and leave the tea bag in for the entire time I drink it. It doesn’t seem to overbrew at any point. I pour boiling or near-boiling water over it, and as soon as it cools enough I start drinking it.

Earl Grey happens to be my favorite tea. Of all the different brands I’ve tried, this has the best flavor.

I’m not yet a tea expert, but this EG does what it should to deliver a satisfying and balanced flavor. It’s not incredible, the flavor doesn’t stand out from other bagged EGs I’ve tried, but it’s a solid choice for a morning tea. Goes well with milk and sugar, but I usually drink it just lightly sweetened.

One of my favourites! A classic stand by.

I have thought that I would like this, but I haven’t. It is so citric that tastes like dishwashing liquid. I can only drink it blended with another black tea.

Easy and pretty tasty

The bagged version of Twinings Earl Grey was my first experience with hot tea. However, my sister recently brought me a tin of the loose back from London. It is levels above the bagged version, and reminds me with ever sip why Earl Grey is still my favorite tea. Also, makes me want to go home and watch episodes of Star Trek Next Generation on Netflix.

deep and murky

Perfect for hot evenings.

I made this with milk. It tasted delicious but after drinking 4 cups it irritated my acid reflux and made my throat hurt.

I know there’s been some discussion (and anger!) about reformulation of the classic Twinings Earl Grey. I picked up another tin a couple weeks ago, and I still think it tastes great.

This is my favourite old standby. It’s that always good tea that I keep coming back to again and again. If I’m not sure what I’m in the mood for, this is always a satisfying cup.

If HM Queen Elizabeth II still puts her name on it, it’s good enough for me.

This is my comfort, anytime, everyday, tea.

The best Earl Grey you find at super market! Good flavor and nice scent, definitely recommended!

Nice, affordable tea in its loose-leaf form. Balanced flavor between tea and bergamot, slight floral notes underneath it all, just lingering beyond the citrus. My go-to breakfast tea, I usually drink at least one pot at work.

I like this, but it’s too mild for my taste. The flavour is great, on the other hand, and it’s a good morning tea.

Very good tea. Easy to taste the light bergamot flavor.

One of my consistent favorites, I find that it tastes quite excellent with the addition of a bit of milk and honey.

My last tea tonight, with a little less leaf to make it charming and some sugar to enhance the brilliance of its taste. This is truly the king of all teas. Never had better. Heck, call me traditional but every time I think about tea, a cup of the good old Twinings Earl Grey is what pops into my mind. It’s perfection itself. No doubt.

To date I’ve yet to find an Earl Grey I appreciate more, either in flavor or simply for being so darn affordable. Twinings is just lovely. Nevermind I can find this virtually anywhere, at any given time, with no trouble what so ever. Yay, I found my EG.
