Waking up at 7.30am daily, the longest reigning British Monarchy,
Queen Elizabeth II had Twinings English Breakfast tea. She likes her tea
without sugar. Was that one of the little secret to longevity.
Twinings
introduces the Large-Leaf Discovery Collection. A total of 8 new and unique
blends is designed to take tea lovers on a journey of discovery to experience
new superior large-leaf teas and infusions that will delight the senses.
The tea leaf is presented in premium silky pyramids that
help to release the sensuous aromas and flavour.
Stephen Twining, 10th
generation of the Twinings family, commented.
“I am extremely proud to present the Twinings
Large-Leaf Discover Collection. It’s a fantastic addition to the Twinings repertoire
and brings something extra special. The Master blenders have really applied
their blending skills to perfection to sure each tea looks, smells and taste
truly wonderful. If you love tea and
great flavours, then I highly recommend you explore this new collection.”
London
Strand Earl Grey
A blend of traditional bergamot with a twist of other citrus
notes and real lemon peels.
This is actually quite nice and if you like Earl Grey, this
will be an added bonus to have an Earl Grey variation.
Golden
Tipped English
The search was over when they found the golden buds at the
valleys of Assam, North East India. This new blend produces rich and malty
strong and bold flavour. Maybe Queen
Elizabeth II should try out this new Golden Tipped English Breakfast tea for a
change.
Two-Seasons
Darjeeling
It is
interesting to note that the Master blenders created this tea by blending two
harvests to create a light perfectly balance afternoon tea. During spring time,
the tea were from the Himalayan foothills in West Bengal.
English
Rose Garden
Rose-flavoured delicate China black tea with rose petals.
However hectic your day is proving to be, it will bring a delicious summery pause
to your afternoon.
Pure
Sencha Green Tea
Large leaf green tea steamed to give the fresh and pure
flavour. The best and freshest leaves comes from the cool flushes of the
Eastern spring which the Master Blenders capture the pure essence of the
mountain slopes where the tea grows.
Budding
Meadow Camomile
The best camomile evokes the essence of a summer meadow:
floral, uplifting and with a breezy scent that calms the spirit. Using the whole
pollen heads, Master blenders capture the sweet nature of camomile, creating a
blend that carries you gently to the meadow of your imagination.
Medley
of Mint
A blend of natural spearmint and peppermint to give a
refreshing and uplifting taste. Only the best mint leaves were selected from
the summer harvests, each time picking just before the mint flowers bloom for
maximum taste. I like the minty taste,
not to strong which works best for me. I ordered a cup during the movie. As I
watch and had my meal, sipping a little of my favourite minty tea.
Golden
Caramel Rooibos
The rich Rooibos with a hint of sweet caramel flavour. It is
also caffeine-free. This is a good news for those who do not like to have any
caffeine in their tea. Rooibos from the Cederberg and Olifantsrivier mountains
of South Africa’s Western Cape is delicious in its own right. Master blenders
found a way of enhancing the sun-dried needle’s naturally rich depth of
flavour. And also include hint of caramel flavour with a just right level of
sweetness.
It was a good afternoon for tea appreciation. My excitement
did not end here. We proceed to the latest James Bond movie, Spectre where I enjoyed
a meal and tea in comfy sofa seat while watching the movie.
