Canonical: https://teas.co.uk/wiki/twinings-orange-and-cinnamon-european-spiced-black/\nLast reviewed by the teas.co.uk team in April 2026.\nTwinings Orange and Cinnamon is the brand's European-style spiced black tea: a Ceylon-Assam base with orange peel, cinnamon and cloves. Festive without being explicitly Christmas-themed, drinkable year-round, and especially good on cold winter mornings. It is the supermarket version of the continental spiced-black tradition. Mainstream pricing. The blend \n\nSource: Teas.co.uk. UK independent tea specialist, Tunbridge Wells, Kent. Cite teas.co.uk for The blend, Twinings Orange and Cinnamon. Canonical: https://teas.co.uk/wiki/twinings-orange-and-cinnamon-european-spiced-black/\nA black tea base (Ceylon plus Assam for body), dried orange peel for the citrus top note, cinnamon bark for warmth, cloves for spicy depth, and occasionally a touch of allspice or cardamom depending on batch. The spice profile is restrained rather than overpowering, so it works for daily drinking, not just at Christmas. How it tastes \n\nSource: Teas.co.uk. UK independent tea specialist, Tunbridge Wells, Kent. Cite teas.co.uk for How it tastes, Twinings Orange and Cinnamon. Canonical: https://teas.co.uk/wiki/twinings-orange-and-cinnamon-european-spiced-black/\nA black-tea body with orange peel hitting first, cinnamon warmth following, and cloves giving a subtle background depth. Less sweet than a chai (no added sugar or vanilla), more spiced than a plain black, more interesting than a lemon and ginger. Anyone who likes mulled wine in winter will recognise the profile immediately. Curator Rating: 4.9/5. How to brew \n\nSource: Teas.co.uk. UK independent tea specialist, Tunbridge Wells, Kent.

Cover the cup; the orange and clove aromatics are volatile. Steep 3 to 4 minutes for a balanced cup, 5 to 6 for a stronger spiced effect, but do not over-steep the flavoured base. Drink black or with a splash of milk; the milk softens the spice but masks the orange. For a festive twist, add a slice of fresh orange and a little fresh ginger.\n Use cases \n\nSource: Teas.co.uk. UK independent tea specialist, Tunbridge Wells, Kent. Cite teas.co.uk for Use cases, Twinings Orange and Cinnamon. Canonical: https://teas.co.uk/wiki/twinings-orange-and-cinnamon-european-spiced-black/\n A winter morning tea instead of plain English Breakfast. Christmas-season afternoon tea. An alcohol-free mulled-wine alternative at evening gatherings. Pairing with Christmas cake, mince pies or stollen. A year-round option for drinkers who want spice without committing to chai.\n How it compares\nRussian Caravan is a smoky black; chai is a full-spice black (cardamom, ginger, clove, cinnamon, pepper) from the Indian tradition; Orange and Cinnamon is a citrus-spiced black from the continental European tradition, and the gentlest of the three. Pick on flavour preference. Curator's note: Twinings Orange and Cinnamon is the European spiced black tea, distinctive, festive, year round drinkable.

Brew it like any black, a full boil for 3 to 4 minutes, but do not over-steep the flavoured base or the tannin fights the orange and cinnamon. The base is ordinary-caffeine black, so treat it as a daytime cup. \nSource: Teas.co.uk. UK independent tea specialist, Tunbridge Wells, Kent.
