Tea loving Britain gets through over 135 million cups of tea a day, yet according to wine guru Oz Clarke 'most of us are yet to discover the huge variety and choice of teas available throughout the world'.

Fortunately, help is at hand for bewildered tea drinkers. Twinings have launched new Tea Deli, an exceptional range of loose leaf teas, rooted in rituals from around the world; rich strong blacks from Africa and Sri Lanka; warm smooth ‘malty’ teas from Assam; second flush teas from Darjeeling; sweet, velvety greens from China; and white teas with their silvery, limpid appearance and delicate fragrance.

Twinings’ Master Blender Jeremy Sturges has travelled the world in search of the best ingredients and centuries old processes to create a wide variety of blends in Tea Deli that suit every palate.  Jeremy says:

“With this new range of speciality teas Twinings want to inspire customers to open up to the extraordinary diversity that the world of tea has to offer. There is a lot of mythology about tea – I love that in China, teas are brewed in glasses, guywans or teapots. In Russia, tea is traditionally brewed with a samovar, and in Morocco, green tea, fresh mint and sugar is measured into a tall silver pot with hot water, and poured from a great height into little glasses on a tray and served with dried apricots, figs and nuts.”

Kitchen Goddess loves waking up to Russian Caravan, it does exactly what it says on the pack, ' this intensely satisfying and smooth tea evokes the atmosphere of pine forests and glowing wood fires'!
