Very bitter – definitely not the kind of tea for those who don’t add milk – but not necessarily bad. Good for a morning pick-up.

It serves its purpose – helped me sleep, and I have chronic insomnia – but it doesn’t taste good at all. All in all, it’s a good tea if you’re trying to sleep better, but the taste could definitely be improved – though it is a simple matter of opinion.

Easy to find, cheap, and pleasant. Not extraordinary, but does the trick for a late-night cuppa.

Definitely the best loose leaf Earl Grey in that price range. Not as bitter as some of the bagged Earl Grey options out there, and the bergamot is very subtle, just like it’s supposed to be.

Easily the worst of all Twinings teas. It’s absolutely undrinkable. It tastes like someone brought a cup of stand-bought lemonade to a boil for too long, and this tea was the result. Absolutely disgusting.

Nice enough. Nothing special, but quite pleasant, as Twinings teas normally are. A bit too bitter, but that could easily be solved by adding either milk or cream.
