About the Brand

Since 1706, Twinings has been at the forefront of the tea trade. Customers in more than 100 countries enjoy Twinings products, and not just the popular traditional favorites: Twinings now includes products such as fruit and herbal infusions, aromatic teas, and iced teas. These fresh flavors reflect a worldwide trend toward a healthier and more varied lifestyle. The new flavors are as successful as the traditional ones, because Twinings prepares them using skills acquired through three centuries of experience. After quenching thirsts for so many generations, no one knows better than Twinings how to deliver a drink that's in perfect condition. Although British-based, and still operating in England, Twinings also has plants in North Carolina and Calcutta, India. Success in the competitive worldwide tea market was confirmed in 1972 (and again in 1977) when Twinings became the first tea company to win a Queen's Award for Export.

Product Description

Ceylon tea comes from the country that today is known as Sri Lanka. Twinings Ceylon tea is made using the finest quality high grown teas from the Dimbula region in western Sri Lanka. In the 1870's, Ceylon became a major tea producing area after the coffee crop failed. Its tea is still referred to as "Ceylon" despite the country changing its name to Sri Lanka in 1972 following independence. Ceylon is ideal to drink at any time of day and is great for ice tea too. Drink black, with a little milk and sweeten to taste.

4.0 out of 5 stars good any time of day, solo or accompanied, January 9, 2007

This review is from: Twinings Ceylon Orange Pekoe Tea, Tea Bags, 20-Count Boxes (Pack of 6) (Grocery)

A nice, medium-strength black tea. Not as strong as 'breakfast' teas, good any time of day. I drink it black, either by itself or with food. To my taste, this stands alone better than Twinings' 'English Afternoon' blend tea, which is of similar body.

This was a better unit price than the Twinings I can find locally. I didn't give this the highest rating simply because there are other brands that I think are higher quality, but this is still a very nice, high-end tea. (And easier to find.)

Sometimes it's necessary to turn away from so-popular blends, and enjoy this old-fashioned classic. It has nice body, and does not leave stains as much as other bagged teas. It allows to make a cup of very decent tea fast, however it's not as good as one made from loose bulk tea.

5.0 out of 5 stars Try with mint, July 23, 2008

I love the light-medium body of this tea. I agree with another reviewer - I have never had a bitter cup of this blend. Try it with a bit of fresh or dried mint but don't add too much or it will make it taste bitter. Great for the afternoons. I get many compliments when I make this blend for my guests.
