I drink one to two of these K-Cups a day (have been doing so for 6 mos now). Love it - perfect tea - not bitter not weak. I have come across the occasional K-Cup with a bad lid seal (and it will blow the grinds into the cup then) but I choose not to get worked up over the failure of a 40 cent item when the others in the pack are fine. 2008 EDIT: Ok, , I have to agree with the other reviewer a little more - the quality of these K-cups is inconsistent and they do blow grinds more often then they should. I am still drinking this tea as much as ever as the flavor is not replicated in any other brand. 2009 EDIT: It's June 2009 now and this is still my main drink. The K-Cup blowout issues seems to have been resolved in the last few boxes. They must have fixed the problem. A great tea.

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!)

Great find on Amazon! I had not found a decaf K-cup tea on any of the regular K-cup sties ... most decaf offerings were green tea or herbal. (Green tea is prohibited if you take the prescription drug Coumadin)

Smooth and flavorful, does not brew as dark as using a tea bag, but just as rich.

Priced below other teas on other sites and arrived nicely packaged, no extra packaging to dispose of!

The best feature of this purchase was the use by date ... over 12 months away. Other sites have sent coffee and teas that had sell by dates within 3 months!

I now use Amazon for all my K-cups because of price and service!

After reading pros and cons on the Twinings English Breakfast K-cups, I decided to take my chances (based on brand name and favorable reviews). I was very pleasantly surprised that the taste and brew strength of the tea are of the best quality ... especially for a decaffeinated blend. I've made numerous cups and never once had the problem of tea leaves seeping through the k-cup, as mentioned by some reviewers. It's a great way to make a quick cup of tea and I highly recommend this product.

My wife and I are big fans of the Keurig K-cup system mostly for the fact that you can get a consistent tasting cup of tea or coffee in under a minute (Ours is always on, so no warm up time). It saves us about 2.5 minutes per day of unnecessary steeping time. That adds up to over 15 hours a year for each of us! That's 15 hours for each of us to fall in love all over again with the rich bold flavor of this decaffeinated english breakfast brew which is a favorite of my wife during pregnancy.

I picked the wront tea, cause I don't like this one as much as the regular English tea. I will change my order next time.

I have been ordering K cups from Coffee Cow for 2 years and I will go back to them ASAP. There were 2 kcups in each of the boxes that were broken and tea...very very fine tea... was everywhere...not 2 mention I was now 4 cups short. The remaining cups were one third the weight of the Timothy's tea I had on the shelf. The tea tastes like dish water. I will never order this again. What a waste of money!

Compared to Celestial Seasonings English Breakfast, this tea is weak. The tea tastes like the second run of the other brand. Purchased Twinings because much cheaper than C.S., but will not make that mistake again!

I couldn't wait to have decaf english breakfast tea k-cups! I was so disappointed when they arrived because the tea leaves must be too tiny as they end up coming out of the k-cup during brewing and you end up with almost the entire k-cup of tea leaves floating in your tea cup. YUK. I am so disappointed. I wish someone would come up with a good decaf k-cup of english breakfast tea... please!

This is the best Tea out there. But it is hard to find on Amazon!!!
