Customers revolt as Twinings changes the flavour of its Earl Grey tea

Quote:
For nearly two centuries, Earl Grey has been the tea of genteel contentment.
Now, though, its drinkers are rising in revolt against a producer which dared to change its flavour.
The unlikely rebellion was sparked when Twinings relaunched its Earl Grey.
The company was so confident it would triumph by adding "a dash of lemon and a touch more bergamot" that its website proclaimed: "Even the Earl himself couldn't have imagined how wonderful his favourite tea could taste. Do you think it's our best ever?"
They didn't - in fact they decided it wasn't their cup of tea, and they weren't happy.

I suspect it's a PR job as these things usually turn out.

I quite enjoy a cup of Earl Grey. Twinings would not be my first choice.

I can quite happy use any other brand rather than Twinings. Yes Earl Grey is very nice but I also switch between Darjeeling and Assam.

Twinnings isn't my favourite, the Earl Grey blend at my local tea shop is one of my favourites, but at the moment my tea of choice is a ceylon, black, and not too strong.

I wonder if this connoisseur will notice the difference:

They’ll have both versions in their database. He’s made his choice.

So if it doesn't taste like Fairy Liquid anymore, what does it taste like? ;) :lol:

I prefer my tea to be tea flavoured.

On a similar note, I prefer my women to be women flavoured. There's nothing worse that licking a girl and then having your tongue swell up and falling into a chemically induced coma. Seriously; perfume is evil. Just leave it out.

Agreed with JJ on all fronts!! :lol:

I'm really not a fan of Earl Grey at all, it's way too perfumed for my liking.
