Twinings English Breakfast Tea - If you're away from home and want some traditional tasting tea, then these are a good choice, they are a blend of Ceylon and Indian teas with a neat draw-string to aid removal of the tea bag. The only problem is the tag often falls in if you're not careful. In Portugal these tea bags were capable of producing a tasty cup of tea much like the tea I drink at home. They recommend a 3 - 5 minute brew time, so they can seem a little bit weak if not brewed long enough or if the water's not boiling hot. Recommended!
