Twinings English Breakfast Loose Tea Tin, 3.53 Ounce Tin (Pack of 1), Smooth, Flavourful, Robust Black Tea Leaves, Caffeinated, Enjoy Hot or Iced

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.

I have shopped all over for loose leaf English Breakfast tea which is what I drink every morning (not a coffee girl). This has been a pleasant surprise from the more expensive varieties I've tried. I most likely will order more.

Good stuff

Great flavor. Measure each time

very good！

Great tea !

Delicious & this is one of my favorite teas out there!I was hoping this was a longer leaf, but it's just an exploded bag. I bought the loose tea in hopes of being able to make kumbucha with it - you need longer steep times without the tea becoming bitter. The loose tea is ground & small so it's hard to filter out of the mix without lots of extra steps.

My favorite everyday loose leaf tea.
