The new flavors are as successful as the traditional ones, because Twinings prepares them using skills acquired through three centuries of experience.

Soothing, Yet Strong And Has Great Smell
Ah... Earl Grey... one of the finest black teas. Being a Star Trek fan (Star Trek The Next Generation), I was first introduced to Earl Grey by Picard's famous quote, "Tea. Earl Grey. Hot." Being curious, I popped out a tea bag of coincidentally Twining's Earl Grey and brewed the tea. Ah... the first sip of Earl Grey was heavenly. It can soothe like camomile and it is also quite strong. The great smell of the tea comes from the oil of bergamont which I might add smells great on a cold winter day.
Twining's Earl Grey has a great balance of black teas and the bergamont oil. Bigelow's balance seems to be tipped more towards the bergamont side. Twinings is a great company and they certainly know their teas. I've been drinking Earl Grey everyday (like Picard) which provides me a time to relax and stray away from the rigors of life.
Wonderful smelling and tasting black tea
Twinings was founded in London, England in 1706, and has a long and respected tradition of producing only the finest of teas. Earl Grey tea was named after Charles Grey, Second Earl Grey (1764-1845), and is a mixture of black tea and oil of bergamot (a small acidic orange). It is said that Earl Grey learned the recipe of this delicious tea from a Chinese Mandarin and brought it home to England, where it has been a favorite ever since.
OK, let's get down to brass tacks - this is a great tea, produced by a great company, and is my all-time favorite. The tea produced has a wonderful aroma, and an excellent taste. But, a couple of words of warning - don't over-steep the tea, or it will quickly become bitter and unpalatable. Also, while sugar goes well with this tea, I have found that milk dilutes the bergamot too much, and lemon completely hides the bergamot which is the reason for drinking it!
That's my review. If you want a wonderful smelling and tasting black tea, then Earl Grey is for you. If you want tea from a great tea producer, them Twinings is for you. If you want a nectareous drink, then buy Twinings' Earl Grey tea!
Best Buy in Tea
At 5.6 cents per bag (I bought 600), and 3 cups per 2 bags, this is a great bargain. (Over 15 cents each in store.)
