Twinings A Moment of Calm Orange, Mango & Cinnamon

BACKGROUND INFORMATION I've liked fruit infusions since I first tried them in the mid 1990s, and like many people, I have had my fads drinking them on and off. Recently, I've discovered that I should be drinking more of them. I've been trying to increase my intake of clear fluids and that I should cut down on caffeinated and milky drinks. I was advised that I was drinking too much caffeine which I must admit came to me as a shock as I didn't really consider my consumption as excessive as I mostly drink PG Tips and have the odd cup of coffee here and there. I was also told that caffeine could worsen my premenstrual syndrome symptoms especially the irritability. ...  Read the complete review

Twinings have been selling teas for over 300 years so I feel they should know what they are doing. They have over 200 blends so there should be something for everyone and if not they sell coffees too!

The teabags themselves are caffeine free, and the ingredients are all natural. I was surprised when I poured the boiling water onto the teabag, as the resultant colour was bright purple. I couldn't understand how a tea featuring orange, mango and cinnamon could produce such a vivid dark hue. Fair enough, the product does contain Blackberry leaves - but surely these are ...  Read the complete review

I have not seen these tea bags on sale for a while. I had them last Christmas and they were dreamy! I think the Cinnamon flavour makes them quite christmassy. I am not a huge fan of orange tea but here the cinnamon is sufficiently strong to overcome the orange. I really do like oranges and oranges juice but for me the stronger the orange the better and so orange tea is never quite good enough because it will never be orange juice! I could not taste the mango in this tea very much but I think it worked well with the orange to give a slightly more tropical flavour than just straight orange tea. But like I said, it is the cinnamon that I found particularly ...  Read the complete review
