TwiningsEarl Grey Loose Black Tea Tin, 3.53 Ounce Tin (Pack of 1), Flavoured with Citrus and Bergamot, Caffeinated, Enjoy Hot or Iced

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.

Excellent, very good quality.

A great cup of tea.

I love English Breakfast Tea and Twinings is an old favorite. I no longer use tea bags so this loose leaf tea is ideal. It comes in a metal container to keep it fresh. Very nice!

Pros: The tines are useful for storage of stuff. The tea is very good. The price is excellent; somewhere between 40%-50% of supermarket prices.Cons: Have not found any serious issues

My favorite

Either some bait and switch or just low-quality tea. This tea appears to be ground. OK, I guess if you're making your own tea bags or something. I used every infuser I had, and they all looked like I stirred finely ground coffee into hot water. The only one that worked was a very fine plastic mesh infuser that I only use for iced tea due to the plastic. The best thing to do was use a coffee filter or wait for it to really settle, then pour into another cup and not pour the bottom sludge in. The flavor is decent, but it's a lot of work for me to go through each morning while getting the kids out the door and me off to work each morning. Tried to capture how sludgy it was, but even the headlamp wasn't shining through it. No Returns, so stuck with making do.
