Tea Review: Twinings Four Red Fruits Flavored Black Tea

  Tags:
Twinings Four Red Fruits tea

Four words can describe this "Four Red Fruits" tea: This tea is  amazing. It's a flavored black tea, with that smooth tea taste and a lovely fruity aroma. Cherry seems to be the strongest of the flavors, with hints of strawberries, raspberries, and redcurrants. The smell is nice, but the taste... WONDERFUL. Not only do you get a full-bodied fruit tea flavor, but this tea leaves a fruit-juice after-taste in your mouth! Joshua tried this tea, and he loved it. (He is more particular about which teas he likes than I am.) It's one of Twinings' best teas, in my opinion.

As a side note, there are some fun and interactive things on their UK website!

Four Red Fruits

Do you have this tea there or was this a sample from someone?

Four Red Fruits by Twinings must be one of the most popular flavoured teas here. No wonder! I like it too. It seems to be fairly nice quality for bagged tea and I personally find four red fruits somehow hubmle and simple tea. It's plain lovely tasting flavoured tea. It is not too stingy nor too sweet, none of the fruits is too overwhelming nor too artificial-tasting. This tea is also very nice iced!

Earl Grey will always be my favourite Twinings tea, though...

Not sure!

I imagine it can be found somewhere here, but any that I have had has been given to me. (I have, however, been able to purchase other flavors from Twinings in our grocery stores.) Four Red Fruits was the first Twinings tea I ever tasted! :)

Earl grey... is it one of your favorites in general? If so, which brand do you prefer? :)

Earl Greys

I actually like Earl Grey by Twinings best! But I guess I like any brand as long as the tea itself is good and not bitter, and the taste and smell of bergamot orange isn't too overwhelming.

I didn't know Earl Grey was your favorite!

My brother Richard (22) loves Earl Grey and drinks it every day. I usually give any Earl Grey that I find, to him. :D I told him he should start a teabag collection of just Earl Grey teabags. Wouldn't that be neat? :) He also likes Lapsang Souchong. Do you like that?

Lapsang Souchong

Both me and my husband love Lapsang Souchong! It's wonderful! But for us, it's tea that we drink during the wintertime. In general I prefer Indian teas over Chinese teas (my husband prefers Chinese teas over Indian!), but Lapsang Souchong I really like. Russian Caravan is similar to Lapsang Souchong (if I recall right, the Russian Caravan blend has some Lapsang Souchong in it) which I sometimes like more than plain Lapsang Souchong, as it has Indian tea (Assam) in it, too.

I love Earl Grey too, but...

I would love to try Lapsang Souchong. Where would one purchase it? Do you need to visit a specialty store? I can't do caffeine. Do they have decaf?

Lapsang Souchong info

Lapsang Souchong isn't extremely common, but I did find some at a store once. I just look at the tea sections wherever I go, and eventually I found some! (I actually don't travel a lot.) I don't have any left though... that was years ago.

Here is what you would be looking for. I don't know if it comes decaffeinated; perhaps, but most likely not. However, you can decaffeinate your tea by steeping the tea in hot water for about 45 seconds and then removing the teabag and making a second cup of tea with it. The second cup will (supposedly) be almost entirely decaffeinated! :)
