Loose leaf is the best. Get the good leaf brew
I used to like Tetley British blend and PG Tips but they changed the taste and now they both taste awful!! I now drink Twinings English Breakfast Tea instead
Steep the Twinings for four minutes add a spot of milk and enjoy!
Imma be that guy: Black tea is oxidized, not fermented. Pu'erhs are fermented though!
When you say, "It's all marketing," I feel that is misleading. People might take that to mean that all black teas are the same product, which isn't true. It is true that there is not a single consistent definition for "English Breakfast Tea," there are some general similarities in the style of the tea and the sourcing. More importantly, there are a lot of different black teas. These teas may come from the same plant species, but they are grown differently and in different soils, harvested at different times, and processed differently, all of which create differences in the finished product. It is disappointing that you chose only to focus on tannins while ignoring all the other aspects.
The testing segments deserve to be longer.
I love Twinnings tea so I'm a Twinnings girl too; thanks for sharing this. I love Red Tose tead as well but I appreciate much green tea.
I'm testing black market super tea
the video on non stick pans should have listed all the pans tested and their ratings
I like my tea with just sugar no milk.
My grandma was a tea drinker all her, at least as long as I could remember. I was introduced to RedRose tea by a friend. I was hooked. I wonder why it isn’t more known in the USA.
Teapigs Tea!!
The camera pans over seven brands of tea, but the taste testing only covers two.
the best tea is beer.
Nope but I think I will stick with Adagio loose leaf teas period so much better than tea bags
It matters much more to me whether it’s brewed properly and served nice and hot
Why not try with milk no sugar? A lot of us don't like sugar in hot drinks. And only tea bags, ew. I taste paper! I like loose tea much better. The leaves bloom better in the water, and you don't get that dust you get in bags. Yeah, I like my tea!
Barry's Irish breakfast for me
PG Tips is the best bagged tea but loose tea is far far better any way.
I lived in the UK for many years and PG tips was my favorite brand of tea and most of my friends and family also. I can now get it here in the US! 🙂
He is no longer the world's favorite beverage. It is no longer the one drunk around the world mostly as number one it has been displaced.
Love Tea
I don’t think the audience is necessary
Wow. Well apparently I like my tea like I liked my wine. I always buy Tetley. I like it strong but only one store around me carries it. I could give the other one a try. I still don't get the milk and/or sugar in the tea. That's not my 'cup of tea'. lol Get it? haha
I drink both coffee and tea. While I put one sugar in both, I cannot stand the taste of coffee without milk or cream, and I cannot stand the taste of tea with it. Wierd, huh?
WHERE'S RED ROSE! TEA?? IT'S GREAT TEA🌹🌹
Hello!
