Earl Grey (loose leaf) from Twinings

Earl Grey (loose leaf)

Black Tea by Twinings

Fine black tea expertly blended with the citrus fruit flavor of bergamot, to deliver an uplifting tea with a unique floral aroma and refreshing taste.

Twinings has been blending my family tea for years. Today, I am proud to continue this tradition with the tea celebrated throughout the world known as Twinings Earl Grey. Legend has it, that my ancestor, the second Earl Grey, was presented with this exquisite recipe by an envoy on his return from China.

The standard candle to which other teas can be measured. Reliable, always there to catch you if you fall.

Sweeter than other Earl Greys but I think its just right so you don’t have to add sugar. Plus the smell is incredible.

I put some French Vanilla creamer in it and it tastes great.

Had a London Fog:
Earl Grey Latte with vanilla

Added a little French Lemon Ginger (Rooibos, Lemongrass and Ginger) from California Tea & Coffee Brewery http://bit.ly/AnnGN and it tastes pretty good. I like mixing Earl Grey with Lemon and this is a little light on the Lemon side since it only has lemongrass but the mix is interesting with the Rooibos and ginger.

Great way to start the Morning

I had the bagged version of this tea. I don’t like it as much as other brands. It has very sweet undertones and doesn’t carry as much of a bite as I would like from my earl grey black tea. Decent though.

it’s a classic tea,
I love the smell and the taste of it.
briliant!!!
first, I wash tea leaves to clean its dust. then,add hot boiling water to it.
after that,allow tea to draw for 25-30 minute (for its colour).
then add some tea to a cup in order to fill half of it, and then add boiling water on it.
tea is ready!
here you are, you can drink it with cake, chocolate or other delicious cookies.

It didn’t come in an awesome box like this picture, but it was from twinnings. I love it anyway its a bit sweeter meaning I don’t have to add as much sugar to my tea :)

Hot. Straight from the replicator. In a china cup.

A little bit of heaven out in space.
