If you are on a tight budget, as I am, then I think this Earl Grey is fine. For the same price, I prefer Bigelow. For Pete's sake, stay away from Lipton's black tea. (I can't speak as to their green tea.) I used to drink Lipton tea as we get the bags free at work. Once I tried Twinings and then Bigelow, there was no going back. The Lipton teas are bitter tasting in comparison.
If you are able to splurge once in a while, try Mountain Rose Herbs brand of Earl Grey. The difference will blow you away. The bergamot really stands out in this tea, I mean REALLY. I haven't seen it offered online here at Amazon. I had to order it directly from Mountain Rose and it was $11 for one pound plus shipping. The tea is organic, kosher and fair trade certified! Their website is here:[...]
So, if you like Twinings, try Bigelow, which is the same price, but a tad better. If you are able to splurge, try Mountain Rose...but be warned, it will spoil you for other teas forever.
