Twinings Earl Grey Loose Tea Tins, 7.05 Ounce Tins (Pack of 1), Smooth, Flavourful, Robust Black Tea Leaves, Caffeinated, Enjoy Hot or Iced

Such a great blend of tea. It is on the lighter side of strength which makes it not so overwhelming and also makes a fantastic tea to add to other teas to add an extra depth of flavor! Overall, just great taste and you get some much for your money!

Love this tea. A cup every morning.

I'm seeing that Amazon is grouping together the reviews for all Twinings teas, from Orange Pecoe to Earl Grey. This review pertains to the Earl Grey. Earl Grey: So perfect! Twinings has always done an excellent job with its Earl Grey, and this product is no exception. The black tea is strong and rich, and the bergamot is deep and flavorful. The fragrance is magnificent, and the taste is so beautiful that I find myself drinking large cups of this tea daily. I've heard bergamot compared to orange, but its nature is more lemon-like to me--and, somehow, I can't seem to get enough. In addition to the health properties of black tea, bergamot acts to decrease certain cholesterols in the body. The moral of the story: We need Earl Grey in our lives! Loose Leaf: Also exquisite. Twinings has this tea available in bags, but it is far stronger in loose-leaf form. The leaves are large and whole, and they never end up escaping my infuser accidentally. Then, too, the loose-leaf variety goes much, much farther than tea bags, making this an excellent value for comparable or greater strength. My one challenge with this tea is that it is not decaf, whereas Twinings Earl Grey is available in decaf bags. That isn't insurmountable so long as I drink it only throughout the morning hours. Tins: Nothing plasticine about them! I've always felt that plastic, cardboard, etc. are inauthentic. These tins really are rectangular metal structures with a small tea leaf embossed on the top. The foil covering beneath the lid keeps the tea fresh and preserves flavor nicely. Then, too, these tins are excellent storage places for other teas once the Earl Grey is gone. Pack of six: Translation: It's the tea that keeps on giving!--and, trust me, you'll want it that way. Buying in bulk like this is expensive up-front, but so important once you find a tea that you'd like to stick with. Final Recommendation: Make a cup, or two, or ten, of tea. Make many, many London fogs. Make Earl Grey macaroons--yes, they do exist! Whatever you do, you will be thoroughly pleased with this product.

I've recently switched to only using loose-leaf tea, and this is one of my favorites. I feel this is a great value; the taste is smooth and so enjoyable. I love being able to control the strength of the tea.

Twinings invented Earl Grey tea and, for me, it's still the best. I've had the curious experience of drinking a tea that was heavy on tannin and yet very low on actual tea flavour--that was awful. I've had the experience of drinking a black tea that had flavour but almost no detectable tannins--that was curiously bland and lacking. Twinings Earl Grey is right in the middle and hits the right balance, for me, of tea flavour and tannin. Not too much tannin and not too little. The black tea flavour is distinct, the bergamot is distinct but not overwhelming, the aroma is delightful. Tea bags can be convenient but I think loose tea brews a fuller bodied cup. Perhaps it is only because I can easily adjust the amount of tea I use to suit the size of my cup so that I don't have to let the tea brew too long to try to get more flavour out of one standard-sized tea bag. Or maybe it really is because the tea leaves like to be able to stretch out and swim around in the pot or mug! Whatever the reason, I'm glad to have the option of buying loose tea.

My favorite earl grey, not too spicy, just right.

Really good tea

If I'm making tea at home, I much prefer using loose leaf tea to tea bags. Tea bags are fine at the office where I'm forced to brew it right in the mug, but at home I have tea pots, a large one if I have guests and a small one that makes two mugs' worth for myself. I have to say that my preferred brand for loose Earl Grey tea is Taylor's of Harrogate, which gets an A+ from me. That said, Twinings is easier to find, a little more affordable, and gets an A-. A minus is a perfectly good rating. I've taken to brewing it with my smaller teapot by putting a Melitta No. 2 filter cone on top with a No. 2 paper filter in it and pouring the boiling water through it and this tea works just fine that way. I get perfectly clear tea with no need to pour it through a strainer. But I've also brewed it using my teapot's stainless steel mesh infuser -- some "fines" do get through and pouring it through a fine-mesh strainer helps, and that method makes very nice tea, too. Either way, it's better than teabags. The tin it comes in is very nice -- it's airtight to keep the tea fresh and flavorful, and the lid is easily removable with just one's fingers -- no need to pry it open with a spoon handle. At any rate, I think this is very good Earl Grey tea. I note that many, many years ago, I tried Earl Grey tea for the first time -- probably 1977, when I bought a package of 10 Twining's tea bags at the supermarket and I became an immediate fan of Earl Grey tea as a result. I bought the tea bags for making tea at the office and was delighted to discover Twining's offered loose tea for making tea at home on a pot. I'd give this 4-1/2 stars if I could, reserving 5 stars for the Taylor's of Harrogate tea. 4-1/2 stars for a cheaper price, easier to find, is a good thing, actually. By the way, half the joy of making Earl Grey tea is smelling the tea in the tin -- the aroma that comes from the oil of bergamot flavoring the black tea is absolutely enticing.
