Many years ago, the American colonists dumped British tea into the Boston Harbor to protest taxes being imposed. However, today, the UK is selling some of the best exotic teas that no one should ever throw into a harbor.
Twinings is an English company that has been around since 1706, first selling coffee and then eventually moving on to sell tea. However, you are not just going to find the traditional English breakfast tea anymore. Twinings is turning out flavors of tea that are both exotic and flavorable. Below are a few that may make you get on a plane headed straight for London.
1. Moroccan Mint ($4 for 20 envelopes)
Marrakech, the third largest city in Morroco, is filled with loud music, exotic smells, and bussling markets. It is this city that inspired the blending of green tea and spearmint for Twinings Moroccan Mint. The best part of the tea is the cardamom added, it adds some Arabian flavor to it and gives it some edge.
2. Nutty Chocolate Assam ($5.60 for 20 envelopes)
We all have stuck a spoon into the nutella jar. It is just a part of life. Twining's Chocolate Assam tea is just like eating nutella because it combines chocolate and hazelnut flavorings. Really, what could be better? It will work perfectly to satisfy your late night sweet tooth and may not be "exotic" but can still bring bliss.
3. Bollywood Chai Latte ($5.60 for 12 pyramid bags)
No, the tea does not come with dancing, but it does come with a combination of Indian spices and almonds. This tea will fit right into your Chai latte routine, but will make it more exotic. It works well after a trip to the gym or to help refresh you after a long day at the office.
4. Plummy Earl Grey ($5.60 for 12 pyramid bags)
Early Grey is pretty standard. But, when Twinings adds plums and star anise, this tea because more fruity than standard black tea. Once you add milk, it becomes a silky fruit tea, yumm.
