Igrew up drinking tea. My Grandmother use to put it in my bottle. that was when everyone used loose tea and bought it by the pound. The Twinings k cup reminds me of that type of tea. I drink it straight with nothing added. It is spot on.
Pros: Fresh, High Quality, Energizing, Aromatic, Unique Flavor Profile
4 out of the 5 K cups in the sample pack I purchased busted at the seal. It was the weirdest thing. I have never had this happen to me with any other brand of K cup. The first time I thought it was a fluke and the second time I thought it was bad luck etc, but by the fourth time... I will say that if you want to wake up in the morning try cleaning tea leaves of out a Keurig at 6 AM. The one cup I was able to drink tasted decent but it is something that I would be hesitant to purchase again.
I love the flavor of this tea but had two boxes in a row where the k-cup came open on every brew and made a huge mess and the tea was not drinkable. I got coupons to replace the boxes from Keurig but I'm afraid to buy this tea again.
FINALLY I am now able to find the Twinings English Breakfast Tea locally at the Stop 'n Shop Supermarket. They are the only ones in eastern CT that carry it and I appreciate it. It is our favorite tea and so easy to prepare using the Keurig brewer. WE will be loyal and daily users of this wonderful tea.
English Breakfast Tea is probably my all time favorite flavor. Unfortunately, I found the Twinings version of it to be on the bitter, acidic side, and slightly weaker than I'd expected. I'll probably give Celestial Seasonings another try to compare them side by side, but I don't recall CS's version having the same unpleasant bite I've found in my box from Twinings.
I am a big tea-drinker, and quite like this tea. I have it with milk and sugar, and it's really flavorful and yummy. The worst part of my experience was that I ordered a 25-cup pack, of which 22 have burst/leaked during the brewing process, getting tea leaves everywhere, and causing a huge mess. I haven't had this problem with any other brand of K-cup. I would like to order this tea again, but can't take a chance.
I grew up drinking tea with my family at every meal, and this one brings me right back to childhood. It is so well-balanced with NO artificial flavor whatsoever. A classic.
