Occasionally we will buy Tassimo Twinings Breakfast Tea as it does make a nice cuppa.
We also occasionally get Tassimo Twinings Chai Latte which is really nice.

Twinings Everyday Breakfast is very weak imo, struggle to taste anything

I drink Earl Grey, but I have to say that Twinning's is probably my least favourite. Really quite weak and tasteless.

I tried the Twinings breakfast and the 'everyday' one (in the yellow boxes).
Verdict - really weak and characterless.

I far prefer Whittard Original, or loose leaf breakfast blends made by my local independent tea merchants.

Marks and Spencer Gold teabags, and even Lidl's Knightsbridge Gold teabags are far nicer than Twinings.

I don't like Twinings Breakfast tea - to me, that's weak. Lipton Yellow label is better. Sadly, where I live, that's about the only two decent options. In the UK, I go for Twinings Everyday Tea. Lovely.

My fella loves the Twinings yellow Everday tea, but I just think it's not tasty! I'm just a sucker for Tetley but have been buying loose leaf tea recently from The Wee Tea Company. The breakfast and ginger chai are lovely.

Usually I'm a coffee drinker but I bought a Twinning sample pack a while ago. Lady Grey, Earl Grey and Assam were the best I thought. Breakfast was pretty diappointing, won't be having that again.

i have to admit the yellow breakfast tea box of twinnings is a weak tea, of which i will not purchase again, i have tried tesco chocolate tea. tasts and smells of vanilla.

I've tried dozens of different brands. I would recommend Co-op for tea bags and Whittard for loose tea. I'm going through a box of Ahmad at the moment, and it's quite nice too.

I think they may be the company that makes a very nice Ceylon tea?I could be confusing them with someone else.

Ahmad do make a very nice Ceylon tea. I have started buying the 20 foil envelope boxes directly from an Amazon Marketplace retailer in Liverpool, 12 boxes for £27.60 and next day delivery as I'm in their local area. £2.50 per box from Amazon direct but you need to buy 4 to qualify for their free delivery: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Ahmad-Tea-Ce...n+tea+bags+20s. See my 5 star review and even better sign in and like it!

I used to only drink QT, powdered tea no milk. Don't ask why lol
My whole fam are huge tea drinkers, bro swears by Yorkshire tea, mum and dad recently PG tips, but I guess it was on offer, used to be Tettleys.
On the point of twinning a breakfast tea though I agree it's lovely, though I now by Lidls Knightsbridge breakfast tea. Not like twinnings, but BETTER IMO.

I always buy my tea from the tea experience, an online company, or now and then I will have twinings. I do love the earl grey, lady grey and plummy earl grey ranges twinings have.

I like their Irish Breakfast tea. Their English Breakfast hurts my stomach.

Assam is responsible for the malty taste and smell in blended teas. Irish Breakfast tea is predominantly (and in some cases wholly) made with Assam in comparison to English Breakfast tea that is predominantly Kenyan.

2nd flush Assam is reckoned to be the best but it all depends what you like. Last year I bought 100g of Simpli-Special Assam 2nd Flush Borengajuli Estate loose tea from Amazon and was expecting great things, but I absolutely hated it, and even though it was expensive I threw it away!

Assam is my favourite, i think t generally has a fuller flavour.

Im not fussed on Twinings breakfast or everyday, but their Assam is nice. The breakfast and every day tastes like PG tips. Yorkshire tea is nice and flavoursome.

have tried yorkshire tea, for me it is to mild.. no taste..like mine strong and a bit of taste.



foot-note.. pg tips in the pound shop are not the same as the ones in supermarkets.
in pound shop it saids one cup.pg tips.. when i tried them weak and poor. but noticed in small print do not add milk,, which is why they are weak and poor quality..
this is the same for all makes of tea bags in the pound shops...

they must be rejects????? any other reason why ?????
