Twinings Earl Grey loose black tea tins are a bergamot-scented, caffeinated loose-leaf blend packaged in six 7.05-ounce metal tins for aromatic hot or iced cups.

This classic Earl Grey from Twinings pairs bright citrus notes with black tea leaves, offering a fragrant everyday brew that can be enjoyed straight, with milk, or chilled over ice.

• Color: pale gold to amber depending on steep time
• Versatility: pleasant hot or iced, works with lemon or a splash of milk

How should I brew Twinings Earl Grey loose leaf for best results?

• Steep time: 3 to 4 minutes for balanced flavor
• Adjust: shorter for lighter, longer for stronger; add milk, sugar, or lemon to taste
