 Excellent with pastryJun 09, 2006
By Kurt A. Johnson
Twinings was founded in London, England in 1706, and has a long and respected tradition of producing only the finest of teas. Prince of Wales tea is a mixture of black and green teas, with a hint of black currant to give it a bit of snap.
OK, let's get down to brass tacks - this is another of my favorite teas. Some of my friends do not care for the flavor of this tea, finding the flavor somewhat off-putting. Indeed, when it comes to drinking a cup of tea by itself, Prince of Wales is not my first choice. However, where this tea shines, is when you want a tea to go with pastry. When combined with scones or cakes, Prince of Wales seems to take on a new life, complementing the pastry wonderfully, and making the whole party that much better! Also, when iced, Prince of Wales tea has a nice, almost delicate flavor that is very refreshing.
And that's my review. If you want a tea that will compliment your pastries, then Prince of Wales tea is for you. If you want tea from a great tea producer, them Twinings is for you. I highly recommend Twinings' Prince of Wales tea!

AN EXCELLENT TEA...I AM GLAD I FOUND THIS STUFF HERE AS IT IS DIFFICULT TO FIND IN STORES NOW.Mar 18, 2012
By D. Blankenship
For some reason, known only to the powers that make such decisions, this bland, Twinings Prince of Wales Tea is not longer readily found on supermarket shelves. You can still find it in variety packs, but It has been sometime since I have been able to find a whole box of the stuff. That is a pity, but as I am what you might call a "tea hoarder," I had two boxes in my stash and was rationing it slow out. You can imagine my delight when I found you could purchase this product through Amazon!
Prince of Wales tea has a nice robust taste but no bitterness. It is one of the few teas I can (if I so desire) drink without adding some sort of sweetener. It never use mild or cream as my wife does, so for me that is a nice factor. I simply like the flavor of this tea.
Twinings has been around (It is based in England) for a bit over 200 years now and there is a reason for this...they provide a fine quality product. We are constantly trying new teas as we locate them, but it seems that over the years we keep coming back to this brand. Now as has been noted by another reviewer here, this stuff is NOT packaged in England; it is packaged and distributed here in America. This does not magically change the flavor of the tea though. Tea is tea is tea. Tea is NOT grown in England, so to say that tea that is packaged in England is better than that packaged in America is simply codwollop! Yes, you might get "stale" tea here, but I doubt it. If you keep your tea under proper storage conditions, i.e. out of the light, no moisture and away from heat, it will last quite some time...I can assure you that the producers do this simply because they want to sell you the best tasting product possible. We in this country may not be as adept to brewing tea as our English brothers, but I doubt it. No, the difference in the taste is more than likely all in the drinkers head.
The biggest problem I have and the biggest problem I have noted in our country when it comes to drinking tea made using tea bags is that we seem to be a very, very impatient people. We simply do not, generally speaking of course, do not let it steep long enough. A tea such as the one being reviewed here needs to steep no less that three minutes; preferably at least four. I find myself getting in a bit of a hurry at times and end up drinking very weak and rather tasteless tea simply because I did not wait long enough.
Note: Cost wise, this is on the rather high end for tea bag tea...in my opinion it is quite worth it though.
Anyway, enough of my babbling...this is a good tea. Is it the only tea I drink or ever will drink? Of course not. 3/4s of the fun of being a tea drinker is continuing throughout life trying different blends and brands. I will say though that I most certainly have not grown tired of this stuff...yet.

no bitternessOct 22, 2011
By Doc Mary
I love tea hot or cold, sweetened or unsweetened. This is my favorite hot tea, a delicious mellow tea with a wonderful aroma. I personally like the little bitter taste that tea has, but if you don't, then this is the tea for you!

A wonderful mild and light teaMay 01, 2010
By L. J. Williams
Prince of Wales is one of my favorite teas from Twinings. The tea brews to a light golden color and has a mild, smooth, delicate taste. Especially good with a small spoon of honey added. This is a good tea for any time of day.

Prince of Wales is one of my favorite blends of teaDec 30, 2007
By Robert H. Stone
I have been buying Twinings Variety Pack for a long time. When they dropped Prince of Wales blend, I was disappointed. But then I discovered that I could get a big box of just that blend from Amazon and I did. My next favorites after this blend are Irish Breakfast and Chinese Ginger and Lemon.
