So now when I visit I have a nice original cup of Earl Grey waiting for me. When I'm at home however... it's loose leaf or Bigelow. So sad...

Formerly I have chosen Twinings over Bigelow for its sharp and bold taste, a difference I can and have before ferreted out in a blind test. Recently I noticed the Twinings boxes started to change. I had laid in a good supply of my favorites (Irish Breakfast, English Breakfast and Earl Grey) in the old packaging, so I didn't take further note. Then when I ran out I noticed in ALL the aforementioned blends a difference in taste so severe that I emailed Twinings with questions, and to date have NOT received a reply. I'm freaked out.<BR/><BR/>Sidebar: My mother grew up spending very much time on her grandfather's estate in Trinidad, from the 1950's on up to the 70's. She grew up having tea everyday as a matter of course and it was always Twinings English Breakfast for its sharp, bold flavor. Until recently she bought that as her regular breakfast and afternoon tea, and I find it interesting to note that SHE came to ME when, on her own, she noticed the difference in taste.<BR/><BR/>I have just discovered this blog after being so fed up with having to switch to Bigelow that I decided to Google the problem, so if there is other information recently made available by the company then perhaps this comment is not one to cause alarm, as many other people would already know that changes were made across the range of their teas. But I thought it should be stated here on the off-chance that the company was still denying changing the blends, or the curing processes.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
