Twinings Lady Grey Loose Black Tea, 3.53 Ounce Tins (Pack of 1), Lemon & Orange Peel, Caffeinated, Enjoy Hot or Iced

Great tea

This tea is smooth and delicious. It's a good amount for the money...and the tin can keeps it very fresh. I always find Twinings teas have great quality.

This is the finest tea! I love the smell and taste of it. 👍👍

I have been a loose tea drinker (not personally but in reference to the presentation of the tea - loose vs. bag!) for the last 40 years - could never tolerate coffee, and the caffine in tea doesn't bother me a bit. In the last 5 or so years, I have shifted from Twinings Earl Gray tea to the Twinings Gunpowder Green Tea. I hate to say this, but I am a bit of a snob regarding tea, always drinking the premium brands, and Twinings is the ONLY green tea I buy. This is a very high quality green tea. Gunpowder is a bit stronger than some of the other greens, but one can acquire a tast for it. Just keep thinking how good it is for you. I usually drink it with lemon and a touch of honey. I drink it every day, all day; take a thermos of the brew to work to sip all day! If you haven't tried green ice tea, get ready for a treat. In the summer, when things get muggy and hot here, I brew a large teapot of green tea in the morning, adding a couple of slices of lemon and honey (add this while hot so it disolves completely). When ready for a glass to cool off, I pour a tall glass, add ice and relax. This purchase offered on Amazon is a fantastic deal. The individual tins are close to $7 in my local store, when they can stock it. As someone mentioned, if it seems too strong, just brew for a shorter time - never much longer than 3 minutes for any tea, but especially the Gunpowder. Lemon does lighten not only the color but the flavor. I highly recommend this tea as well as this price!

Where I'm located, my choices for loose green tea are practically non-existent. I had found and tried this Twinings Gunpowder Green (loose) tea at a local Fresh Market. I enjoyed it, but getting to that store (and their having it in stock) was troublesome. I was very happy to see the same tea on Amazon for a bit over a dollar LESS (per tin) than my local cost (not including my travel time or tolls paid). The tea has a very nice flavor (FAR better than the Stash Premium Green Tea, Loose Leaf, 3.5-Ounce Pouches (Pack of 3) which was the other green tea I'd found locally). It also has a good color and aroma. One of the things I like about gunpowder tea is that it's easy to portion out. I scoop out 1 level teaspoon of tea and use it for two full serving in my Bodum YoYo Personal Tea Set with Infuser and 12-Ounce Glass. The tea leaves are of sufficient quality that there are almost no fragments, so nothing gets through the infuser but the flavor. If I were a tea purist, I'd probably have some issue with the fact that the gunpowder rolls of leaves are not as tight as they should be and the spent leaves look like they're somewhat irregular. But, considering that this tea is many times less expensive than the high quality stuff from the specialty shops, I'm very happy with it. The one thing I'm just a touch worried about is storage. The six tins in this package will last me many months. Since each tin is opaque and is sealed with an aluminum film, I figured the best location for storing the tea until I moved it to my "in-use" spot would be the refrigerator. The tin and the film should keep light and moisture out and the temperature fluctuations should be minimal. But, I still worry a bit. Still, I'm very pleased with the tea and rate it at a Very Good 4 stars out of 5.

Great tea

A lovely tea. This is one of my favourites- so very pleasing to the eye, smells beautifully, and not to mention, it tastes magnificent! Its a perfect mix/ratio of fine black tea, citrus peels, and cornflowers- not too much or too little, just right! The tin is very nice as well, its not only aesthetically pleasing but serves the purpose of keeping the tea fresh well. Loose leaf almost ALWAYS tastes better than bagged tea, and in this case that sentiment holds true - buy Twinnings loose leaf, and you won't want to use bagged tea ever again!

This is a basic, good green tea. I use enough for a 4-cup batch, but use only water for 1-cup. In this way, I can drink a condensed form of it at my work desk all day long. This keeps me from sneaking into the coffee room and getting my caffeine only from coffee sources. Not that this is bad (my company gets the best coffee in the world), but all too often there are high-calorie or high-salt snacks lurking in the coffee room, just waiting for you to bounce in there! Yikes!! And you always fall for it: I don't care who you are or how steeled your thoughts are against taking any "free" coffee-room snacks.Getting back to the tea. This gunpowder green tea tastes great and it is entertaining too. The "gunpowder" is rolled up little balls of tea leaves, and if you make this in clear glass you can watch them unroll (explode, like gunpowder). This isn't the highest quality, but the price is right and it tastes good. Perfect for your average normal day. For that, I give it 5 stars.
