Twinings Prince of Wales Tea is my all-time favorite black tea. It is less bitter than darjeeling teas, even when properly, long steeped. Twinings has been in business since 1706 and the quality of their teas is the reason. I have not tried it with milk and sugar as I prefer my tea black or with a little honey. This is not the easiest tea to find but worth the trouble of seeking it out.In my opinion, this tea is a great replacement for Trader Joes Duchess Grey Tea. I've never had a tea with bergamot and citrus until I had Duchess Grey. I haven't been able to find that tea and found references form other tea drinkers that this tea is a suitable replacement. I would agree. The combination of orange, lemon and bergamot with black tea results in a flavorful citrus tea that I enjoy. I would definitely recommend this tea.I will take coffee over tea any day, but I do have a short list of teas I like. This tea came in a sampler pack and I have not been able to find it in stores. My favorites were always Darjeeling and Earl Grey. But, now Prince of Wales tops my list. I agree with the other reviewer that a pastry or Pepperidge Farms Bordeaux cookie doesn't hurt as an accompaniment!I've been drinking this tea for several years now. I'm one of those who finds Earl Grey a wee bit overwhelming, like the previous reviewer. The light, fabulous taste of this tea is unequaled. No other company makes this particular one.It's is very wonderful hot or iced. At least where I live, it can be a little hard to find sometimes. This and Darjeeling are my teas, period.If you are an earl grey fan, do yourself a favor and give this tea a try. I doubt you will be disappointed. Imagine a playful citrus flavor filling your senses followed by a subtle delicious sweetness. This tea takes the best parts of a wonderful earl grey and brings them to a whole new level for a truly glorious experience.
