Twinings of London English Breakfast Loose Tea
English Breakfast is our most popular tea. To create this well-balanced blend, we carefully select the finest teas from four different regions, each with its own unique characteristics. Tea from Kenya and Malawi provide the briskness while Assam gives full-body and flavour. The robustness from these regions is complemented by the softer and more subtle teas from China and Indonesia. The combination of these varieties yields a complex, full-bodied, lively cup of tea that is perfect any time of day.

As for the form, this isn't a tin of tea leaves, it is a granular tea, little spherical pellets, so it won't work in an infuser. I used to get tea bags of the Irish Breakfast (side note: the tea in this tin is coarser and more varied than what comes in the Irish Breakfast tea bag, giving it a much more complex flavor), and just boil some water, add tea bag, sugar, milk, and drink. However, I have a Krups Espresso machine ( Krups XP4600 ), and this loose tea form is perfect for it. I fill the little metal basket from the tin, insert it into the machine, place a cup underneath, and press a button. Instant, delicious tea. It also has a steamer for frothing milk, which is amazing with this tea. Unlike a keurig or any of those individual brewers with cups, the only part of the machine that your beverage touches is the metal basket/filter (which is dishwasher safe), so you don't need to spend 15 minutes cleaning the machine and running empty cycles just to avoid your tea tasting like coffee.
The tin of loose tea is much more economical than tea bags or k-cups, and tastes much better. With an Espresso machine, it is also damned convenient. I can't recommend this hard enough, to anyone who drinks tea regularly (especially if, like me, you can't stand coffee). If you only drink tea occasionally, I still recommend it, but in tea bag form.
Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go make a cup...
I have found in general the least rich taste would be a K-cup, next a tea bag, and loose tea at the top of the list for flavor, color and scent. You will definitely taste a difference. Although probably not as "pure", I have had great success in using a coffee filter to line my strainer for loose tea. With the bags steeping for 3-5 minutes I always seem to taste the the bag but not so with a coffee filter. I know, both the filter and bags would typically be paper but it may have something to do with the tea not actually being wrapped in the paper and being allowed to steep loosely before being strained. I can tell little if any difference between using a coffee filter lining or not other than an almost complete lack of dust.
Irish Breakfast has become my daily favorite but using a filter in the strainer worked so well I usually keep tins of English Breakfast, Irish Breakfast, and Earl Grey on hand. I'm also adding Lady Grey and will try Ceylon Orange Pekoe on my next tea order. I will typically drink tea from dawn to dusk and beyond so although not a connoisseur, taste and texture is still important to me.
If you are really bothered by the dust but don't want to fall back to a bag (still dusty but less so), try using a coffee filter to line your strainer.
My only complaint about this purchase - hence the 4 star rating - is the expiration date on the tins. They shipped February 8, 2010, with an expiration date of May 28, 2010. Under 4 months? In airtight containers, I expect tea to last at least a year. I understand they have to rotate their stock and these tins had probably been sitting around for 6 months, but it was still surprising and disappointing. As an avid tea drinker, I just finished the last tin so I only went about one month past the expiration date but still, they need to plan their inventory better.
If you have yet to try Darjeeling tea, I highly recommend it. Twinings is a good and reputable brand and the quality and flavor never disappoints.
