    "content_text": "Twinings Black Tea Discovery Collection is a tasting box of flavoured black teas, not an everyday assortment. It holds 20 individually sealed envelopes: five of Classic Chai, five of Creamy Vanilla, five of Gingerbread Spice and five of Vanilla Chai.\n\nAll four start from black tea and add natural flavourings and spices, so every cup is spiced, sweet-scented or both. Two are chais, built on warming spices such as cardamom, cinnamon, ginger and clove; one is a vanilla black tea; and Gingerbread Spice sits between them. Anyone after a plain breakfast-style cup should look elsewhere.\n\n The Taste Profile\n\nSpice: \u25cf\u25cf\u25cf\u25cf\u25cb (4/5) Warming chai spices in two teas and gingerbread spice in a third.\nVanilla: \u25cf\u25cf\u25cf\u25cf\u25cb (4/5) A sweet vanilla note in Creamy Vanilla and Vanilla Chai.\nBlack tea body: \u25cf\u25cf\u25cf\u25cb\u25cb (3/5) A black tea base that takes milk, carrying the flavour rather than leading.\nVariety: \u25cf\u25cf\u25cf\u25cf\u25cb (4/5) Four flavoured teas in one box.\n\nTeas.co.uk Curator Rating: 4.4 / 5 - Our expert verdict from the curators at Teas.co.uk\n\n The Story Behind Twinings\n\nTwinings has blended tea in London since the eighteenth century.

The chais and Gingerbread Spice take milk well; Creamy Vanilla is good with or without.\n\nThe Afternoon Serve\n\nChai with milk: Classic Chai or Vanilla Chai, brewed strong with a splash of milk.\nVanilla black: Creamy Vanilla on its own, or with a little milk.\nGingerbread Spice: with a biscuit in the colder months.\n\n Getting It Right with a Hot Drink\n\nWater: freshly boiled, 200ml per bag.\nTime: three minutes, longer for strong.\nMilk: suits the chais and Gingerbread Spice.\nStorage: the envelopes are sealed; keep the box cool and dry.\n\n Safety And Purity\n\nIngredients and dietary suitability: Twinings describes these teas as suitable for vegans, made with natural flavourings and spices, and sugar-free.

In Creamy Vanilla it is the whole character; in Vanilla Chai it softens the spice. Gingerbread Spice sits between the two, spice-led but sweet-scented."
