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

A great cup of tea.

My favorite everyday loose leaf tea.

If you try to buy tea in one of our major cities and are approached by some limp-wristed purveyor trying to sell you one of his "artisanal" blends packaged in a paper bag with an attractive or colorful label, do not scoff but leave the premises in as diplomatic, and polite manner you can muster. Tea has been and always will be an expensive commodity, and with good reason; its irresistible flavor depends on volatile compounds either inherent in the tea or added to enhance its finished flavor. The operative word here is "volatile" which is synonymous with "fleeting" and in the world of tea quality, packaging is everything. With Twinings tea you are getting a tea with the maximum protection; a foil-sealed metal can, for goodness sake. Twinings delivers it to you with the understanding that you will enjoy the flavor that they meant for you to have so that you may return to them as a source of quality teas again and again. Of course, once you've opened the can it's up to you to keep the can closed after use until the tea is all gone. I prefer loose tea and Twinings is my supplier of choice. Twinings has so many varieties for you to choose from, there really is no reason to go elsewhere. We may have sent those Redcoats back to England with their tails between their legs but we still have a lot to learn from them when it comes to tea. Lady Grey is an especially tasty blend, you'll enjoy it.

Loving a proper cup a tea in the afternoon and early evening, Twining's English Breakfast seldom disappoints. With filtered water heated to the right temperature, poured over the loose leaf tea and given the time to steap, it truly is a perfect cup of tea.If you're looking for great flavor and aroma, and willing to steap and strain your tea, I highly recommend Twining's English Breakfast loose tea.The tin not only protects the tea from humidity to insure the quality of flavor, but the tin is also pretty enough to leave out and reuse.

Makes a perfect cup of English tea. You’ll never go back to tea bags.

Out of all the teas that I have tried, this one is pretty darn good. Love the flavor, and the smell, especially in the morning.

I bought loose leaf tea to use with my Keurig machine; no plastic, tastes better, adjustable measuring, less expensive, and - most important to me - it doesn't explode. Pods are convenient, but the tea is tasteless, and I got fed up wasting costly tea and cleaning the mess from exploding pods. I'm much happier with loose tea. I can make it any strength, and can even use the same spoonfuls twice - a nice savings. I measure out the tea into a mesh filter that fits into my mug or cup. To prevent residue on the bottom of the mug, I shake the filter over the sink a few times before adding water. Let it sit, and by the time my toast is ready, so is my tea. And it tastes like tea, not like hot water! Beats pods every time.

Being British, I'm very fussy about the quality of the tea I drink. This English Breakfast Tea is the best. Hot, cold, strong, or weak, with milk or lemon, or black, it's a great tea. Buy it.. You'll love it.
