Not bad, but not great. I don’ care for the combination: smoky Keemun together with the sweeter Ceylon. The two flavors compete rather than blend.
12 Tasting Notes
I had this at a friend’s house while we were making caramels and marshmallows and gingerbread (oh my!). The experience? Was wonderful. The tea? Merely meh. I must have oversteeped it. I wasn’t really paying attention what with the caramel-y goodness going on. It tasted bitter and vaguely unpleasant. Ah well. Can’t complain too much—an afternoon of friends and candy goodness can’t possibly be spoiled by a subpar cup of tea.
Much like Twinings English Breakfast tea with a bit more smokiness and perhaps a bit weaker. This tastes quite earthy to me. Not a bad cup of tea.
A blend of Keemun and Ceylon…so I´m gessing, is this the new version of Twining´s Traditional Afternoon?
For some rerason Im not finding the Traditional Afternoon to add a tasting note…maybe they´re not carrying it any more?
Anyway, would love to try this one. A blend of black by Twinings can´t be bad :-)
This is my favourite black tea right now. I have a feeling that as I begin this tea journey (I’ve always loved tea…just never thought of it as being as complex as wine, and that’s quite exciting to me), this one won’t be holding a place in my top 5 list. But as of now, I love how the tea bags smell, and it’s quite delicious with milk and sugar.
This is another one of my Epcot finds at the Twinings store in England (DisneyWorld England) and I had never even heard of it until I spotted it in that amazing little shop. I find that it tastes just like English Breakfast, only weaker. That makes it perfect for an afternoon tea, just as it advertises itself to be. Very yummy!
My favorite tea!
I put this at the same rating as Twinings’ amazing English Breakfast tea because it tastes almost identical, just a bit smokier.
A pretty standard black tea. I had it with milk and honey.
Very nice with a splash of milk.
