One of the finest teas on the marketOct 11, 2008
By Thom Karlsen
"Left Coast T-Man"
A can't miss choice for a tea lover and a perfect tea to brew for any newcomer. Unlike many black teas, the Prince of Wales does not have any bitterness or acrid aftertaste. Also difficult to over-steep due to the overriding mildness of the blend. Bagged versions of Prince of Wales are out there; the taste tends to be flat and nowhere near as satisfying as the loose tea.

Rather splendid Keemun blendNov 26, 2008
By K. Kurpiel
This is a blend of teas from a few different regional plantations. Overall the taste is a Keemun tea, but with very little of the pekoe flavors you would find in that type. This blend varies a little more than some of the other twinning teas in it's flavor, so you might get two tins that have decidedly different (yet tasty) flavors.
You have no tea palate or still learning about loose teas? OK, no worries.
This is a mild blend. It has a very dry aftertaste, but the bitter has been mostly blended out. If you brew it weakly it can be a bit too bland. Overbrewed PoW avoids the bitter you often get, but the dry really can give it almost a pucker factor.
This tea loves sweeteners. In the tea sweeteners such as all types of honey, or along side the tea in the form of cookies or cakes. If you like milk or cream, go light on that. There is little bitter to PoW and you can dilute the tea flavor right out on accident.
This is not really a good tea for lemon or fruit extracts. It can be a bit bland as an iced tea for better or worse.

Prince Of Wales Tea
Mulled Wine/Cider spices
Honey
Half'n'Half
5-Spice powder (optional)
Add 1 teaspoon Mulled cider/wine spices dry to your brewing pot with the Prince Of Wales tea leaves. Add your boiling water. (Once you learn the strength of your spices add a more or less to taste. When making this with Twinnings PoW I add half a stick of good cinnamon broken into bark bits, this tea can take the bite without getting overpowered. )
Pour the tea
Add a spoon of honey stir thoroughly.
Add little half'n'half or heavy cream to the cup.
A dash of 5-spice powder on top. Stir again and serve.

Another reviewer gives a false info here, I hope they just accidentally mixed up products. This is a black only tea. A blend of black teas from China (Camellia sinensis leaves -only-). There is no green tea species nor currants in the Prince of Wales product.

Completely satisfyingOct 08, 2008
By Daniel Engelberg
This is one of my favourite teas, comparing in taste and quality to more expensive gourmet teas. The tea is smooth, subtle, complex and richly satisfying, with a balanced leafy and floral flavour and the lightest hint of smoke. It's the kind of tea that you can really explore with your taste buds, and I find it completely satisfying on its own, without any dessert accompaniment.
A bit of milk and sugar bring out the flavour, especially if you brew it strongly.
Since Twinings discontinued Russian Caravan (at least in Canada), this has become my favourite Twinings tea. If you like keemun, you'll like this tea. If you can't find Prince of Wales, then just get a good keemun.

Tea, please.Sep 19, 2009
By M. Tuohy
"justmartie"
We have been drinking Twinings Prince of Wales tea for about 5 years now. It's a full-bodied black tea that, even when steeped a little too long, is never bitter. Loose tea is soooo much better than bagged tea (just dust and bits!). I was having trouble finding it here, but Amazon came through once again! I highly recommend this blend.
