Part of Twinings exploration of new twists on the success of Early Grey. The packaging is attractive, and the tea comes in silky pyramids with individual tags. Tends to be astringent and tannic, so either best with a splash of milk, or brewed for less than a minute. There is a distinct burnt toffee flavour married with oily dark tea and a zip of violets and citric. Finishes with a sweet note that is reminiscent of Liquorice Allsorts. Rather more interesting than pleasurable - I'm not entirely sure how successful this is, but I do like it. It's just that I'm not sure I like it enough to buy again. 15 tea bags for £4.49 makes it rather expensive - £9.98 per 100g.
Score: 3
