I also got a mixed berry black tea and a blackberry ? black tea. I may be wrong about the blackberry, it was some other berry. Both were good. Sadly I can't find any of the fruity Twinings teas locally. Might have to take advantage of that coupon they sent.

When I received the late spring edition I thought of you tea bloggers. If you view the digtial edition, pages 6-7 you will see why. http://mydigitalpublication.com/publication/?i=253419 I don't work for them. Just a customer and always love their catalogs, the layouts always make me want one of everything. Thanks again. I enjoy your blog.

Can't wait until I see it in the store. I also choose the BlackCurrent Breeze, loved that one also. It had the flavor I was looking for (ever since I had the Black Current Tea at the Madison Tea Room, I have been on a hunt). My 3rd one I have not tried yet--organic Rooibos Tea. <br />Have not been drinking tea long, although I have love your blog for longer than I have been drinking tea.<br />I have been off coffee for about a month. I am looking for a good strong flavored coffee for the morning --any suggestions.MaryJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03313366699379478658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2167015610970367792.post-57776839389338969092015-05-21T11:45:54.209-04:002015-05-21T11:45:54.209-04:00I forgot all about it.

So far I only sampled the pumpkin spice chai. I love anything pumpkin! The aroma was wonderful, but I was disappointed in the taste. Much too much cardamon for me. The tea lost its sweetness. I'm looking forward to the English Afternoon, a lighter alternative to English Breakfast.Nora @ Teacup Taleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10736125227390890522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2167015610970367792.post-21841964839279041582015-05-20T22:43:11.088-04:002015-05-20T22:43:11.088-04:00Darjeeling, English Breakfast, Prince of Wales.

This is hard to believe, but I had never (to my recollection) had Darjeeling, so that's why I ordered it and it was very good. Still haven't tried the Lady Earl Grey yet, but the Blackcurrent Breeze is fabulous! I don't find any blackcurrent flavored teas very often and I just love the taste.

It was good but I think I like regular Earl Gray better. I have "Winter Spice" (which I've had before and liked - no caffeine) and Darjeeling to try next.

I liked the "naturally caffeine free" Honeybush Mandarin and Orange so much that I ordered 6 boxes from Twinings (due to their minimum requirement ) using the 20% discount coupon. I've developed terrible heartburn this year and have had to give up on my favorite black flavored teas. This tea was wonderful and hasn't bothered me.

Can't wait for the right moment.
