For my birthday this year I asked for, and received, a variety pack of Twinings tea. I picked Twinings because it was the largest variety pack I could find at the time; it had 48 different kinds of tea!
A couple of weeks ago I finished the last one. I took some notes as I went along so I could remember what I liked best. I am not a tea expert by any stretch of the imagination, but here are my favorites:
- Earl Grey. I know Captain Picard liked this ("Tea. Earl Grey. Hot.") but I guess I had never tried it before. It's good!
- French Vanilla Chai. Not too surprising that I liked this; it's as delicious as it sounds.
-
Pure Rooibus Red Tea. I had never heard of this before, but it was good. Has lots of antioxidants, apparently.
-
Honeybush, Mandarin & Orange. I had never heard of honeybush, either, but this combination is pretty good.
-
Camomile, Honey & Vanilla. This is also as delicious as it sounds.
-
English Breakfast. This tastes good and provides a nice dose of caffeine for the morning.
There were other teas I liked, but the ones above I liked enough to order more of, and they just arrived this morning:
All of this reminds me of my blog post about the popcorn variety pack I tried back in 2020 (it feels like much, much longer ago!). I still mostly eat the red popcorn that I liked so much from that experience.
