Twinings English Breakfast Tea is by far the best black tea sold in teabag form that you can get on the retail market. Rich, full bodied and spicy. It's great alone or lightly sweetened. I drink a cup every morning for my caffeine rush, and it's MUCH healthier then drinking coffee! The price to buy Twinings English Breakfast Tea in bulk from Amazon is truly a great deal. Normally, in the grocery store, a 20 bag box sells for $4.99. This 50 count x 6 boxes makes it about $4.75 a box, but for 50!!! Not 20! If you're a tea lover, then trust me, you will love this tea. And buy it from Amazon, cause you can't beat their price!

Twinings was founded in London, England in 1706, and has a long and respected tradition of producing only the finest of teas. English Breakfast tea is a mixture of black teas from Sri Lanka, which are blended to produce a smooth yet flavorful tea. Though often served during breakfast, this tea tastes excellent all day long.

OK, let's get down to brass tacks - this is another great tea. Harder to over-steep than some of the teas I have known, it consistently produces a smooth and highly drinkable cup. Highly conventional in its taste, English Breakfast tea has a robust flavor that stands up well to lemon and milk, which makes it a favorite among those who like to accessorize their tea. Plus, I must say that this tea is wonderful iced - add some lemon and sugar, and you've got the right tea for a hot afternoon!

And that's my review. If you want an excellent all-round tea, hot or iced, one that goes well with any food, then English Breakfast tea is for you. If you want tea from a great tea producer, them Twinings is for you. I highly recommend Twinings' English Breakfast tea to all, even those not normally into tea drinking. (Or, perhaps especially to those not normally into tea drinking!)

This is one of my favorite teas. This is 1/2 the cost of my grocery store, and since the bags are individually wrapped, freshness is not an issue.

We were first introduced to Twinings when we lived in Australia for a year and one-half. As uncultivated Americans, for us tea was tea. We learned otherwise in the company of those who knew. Now Twinings English Breakfast Tea is all we will buy. It does not have the bitter taste common in most teas. As the Aussies say, "It is smooth."

My husband is from England and Twinings is his favorite tea. We have never found the larger boxes and occasionally our grocer is out of the smaller ones; so, we were delighted to find them on Amazon.

Twining tea is a quality product, and the English Breakfast is one of their best. Don't hesitate to buy the 50 count even if you don't drink as much tea as I do since each tea bag will stay fresh in individual foil wraps. Enjoy!

I can't always find this product in the stores and when I saw the new amazon gourmet I did a search. Saw it and ordered 3 cases. Thanks for the great service. Would order again.

When I was younger, the only tea readily available in my area was Lipton orange pekoe. It was okay, but not great, and very easy to over-steep causing a bitter cup of tea. One day while traveling in Canada, I tried Twinings English Breakfast Tea. It was so good that I purchased a large amount of it to take home. Now it is readily available and the English Breakfast Tea is still my favorite. Every other Twinings tea has been very good, but I always return to my favorite.

You can read in the other reviews about the flavor. It is a robust, full-flavored tea that only turns bitter after grossly over-steeping. There are some very bad brands of tea out there, and a lot of good brands, but as far as I am concerned Twinings is by far the best.

If you cannot do it, or do not have the time, then I would have to agree with a number of other reviewers here that this is by far the best black or dark tea that comes in bag form. It is the one I use early in the morning when I am in a hurry. It has a great kick to it and feeds my caffeine addiction wonderfully. Now don't take me wrong, I love coffee too and certainly drink my share of the stuff, but coffee will never replace a good cup of tea in my book. This is also the tea I take with me on camping trips and backpacking trips; a time when you really need a kick in the tail to get you going and keep you going. The flavor is excellent. In the morning I use a bit of honey and cream in mine..to each his own taste, huh. Twinings makes a good product and this is some of their best.

My favorite tea, and it is sometimes hard to find at the grocery store. Now, I have a stockpile with this big package, I am in heaven!
