I thought I knew a bit (at least) about Twinings but I learnt so much! They have been operating out of the same shop in London since they started in 1706 and have a huge variety of tea available; all sorts of flavours and blends. It takes five years to become a master tea blender and, once qualified, you get a special teaspoon engraved with your name on (I really want one of those!). I also didn’t know that Twinings originally created Earl Grey; that’s why theirs is called The Earl Grey.
We then tried their three new infused green teas: salted caramel, caramelised apple and gingerbread. I like green tea but (other than jasmine) hadn’t tried flavoured green tea before. The caramelised apple was my favourite; good job too as this flavour was made up in to a caramelised apple green tea martini. Delicious. I really enjoyed my trip to Twinings and I now have one of those glass teapots for making tea perfectly every time at home. I’m looking forward to making my own green tea martini too!
Thanks to Twinings for the invitation and samples. All opinions and words expressed are my own.
What an interesting evening. I would have enjoyed this. Blessings, Catherine
Earl Grey tea for me all the way!
Love Earl Grey tea! This must have been a wonderful experience!
What a great experience. I love the tea pot. I have a kettle that heats water to the correct temperature for all the teas and that really makes a huge difference 🙂
Wow, you met Mr. Tea?! What a fun experience to go and check out that store. And that green tea Martini…looks fabulous!

Looks like a great day out. I mostly drink green tea so can’t quite get my head around salted caramel flavour green tea! Love those teapots and all the different colours of the tea.
There’s sure some I haven’t tried: salted caramel, caramelised apple and gingerbread. Wow, it sure must have been a great experience. I see the evidences via the pictures.
that must have been a wonderful experience and also meeting mr twinning. i didnt know earl grey was originated from the twinnings. salted caramel tea sounds unique!
What fun! I’m such a massive fan of tea, this seems like such a great night!
What a fun event, especially for a tea lover like yourself!
A great event to attend, and delicious teas everywhere 😀

Nice review Caroline. I really enjoyed this event and it was good to meet you. I was hoping you might have done a post on your cocktail experimentations. I’ve just got one on the go now, though I’m not in the least sure how to present it.
