Would You Care to Sit With Me, for a Cup of English Tea?

Confession: I am an absolute tea addict (with the exception of peppermint tea)

I could drink 5 cups of tea a day, if at least most were Earl Grey.

I'm certainly not a tea snob, though. I'll drink any brand and any flavour, whether it be a herbal or fruity tea, or a posh High Tea or a supermarket brand.

But when it comes to my Earl Grey, there is no question about the matter - the tea must be the Twinnings 'Classics Earl Grey'.



Here's my reasoning: Twinnings Earl Grey is so smooth, soft and has the most beautiful subtle flavour. I've tried many Earl Grey's in my time, and each (except Twinnings) had this bitter taste that's hard to shake off, and rather off-putting.

I'm so happy with my Twinnings tea.

I don't know whether the allure of tea to me is because even on a Summer's day it reminds me of the comfort of winter, or else it soothes me from the inside out.

Regardless, as soon as a taste of this tea meets my lips, I'm instantly cured of any gripes or unhappiness.
