Twinings Chai

Lately I have found that drinking tea a lot seems to keep me a bit calmer especially with a lot of the stress I have been having with university work. I have always been someone who loves tea over coffee any day anyway so nothing changed much there but I have been trying herbal teas and more soothing ones. I was shopping the other day and I do love the Twinings Earl Grey so bought that but felt like I wanted a change. A friend of mine then told me she had a lot of tea that she had been given and didn't think she would drink it all so she handed me a box of Twinings Chai Tea which I also picked just because it sounded nice and I always like to try new ...  Read the complete review

As an avid tea drinker I am addicted to the Twinings range, as their teas are always high quality and never contain "dust" like some tea bags. But regular readers may remember I am on a diet (lost a stone now, thanks for asking) and am consequently always looking out for ways to reduce my calorie intake. So teas you can drink without adding milk are a good idea, and I spied this one on the shelves of my local supermarket just the other day. At about £1.50 for a pack of 50 tea bags it is expensive compared to more everyday brands but the one area of life where I don't economise is tea, as the difference between cheap tea and good tea even if you drink ...  Read the complete review

I have been experimenting with different teas over the last two years and Chai tea from the Twinings Aromatics range was one of the more pleasant memorable surprises. I have always adored Earl Grey and have tried Twinings Lemon tea which is an equally delicious alternative. I've also dabbled in the more common herbal varieties. The time came however, when I felt that I needed to extend my range and tea drinking ambitions. Chai tea is a rich black tea, the flavour of which is described as an infusion of Indian spices such as cardamom, cinnamon, cloves and ginger. It is the cinnamon that I instantly recognised upon my first mouthful of this spicy tea. The ...  Read the complete review

...HA that fooled you, no pie here - just tea! Upon the recommendation of another DooYooer who swears that this tea kept her sane through her studies, I thought I’d try it out myself. Not that I feel the desire to be kept sane or indeed because I’m studying, I tried it cause it sounded really nice. Also, for the record, I’m not entirely sure why you recommended anti-madness tea to me in the first place…I shall be asking you some questions lately *raises eyebrows and winks, but realises that it’s nearly impossible to do both at the same time* It was described to me as a “yummy” tea, which frankly is ...  Read the complete review

I first enjoyed chai when I bought a packet from a food market. It came in the form of a bag of spices, some ground, some kept whole which I put in a saucepan full of boiling water with a regular teabag and sugar and latterly some milk, and then strained it. It was absolutely delicious and I have been looking for something comparable since. I have tried powdered ones but found them to be bland and artificial tasting. Therefore I was chuffed when doing my online grocery shop from Tesco and looking for some Lapsang Souchong that Twinings did a Chai tea as part of its 'Aromatics' range. I have been a big fan of Twinings for years, predominantly as I remember ...  Read the complete review
