By appointment to her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II Tea and Coffee Merchants R. Twining & Co. Ltd. One of the world's finest blends of teas, with a distinctive delicate flavour. For centuries people have enjoyed tea, or Camellia sinensis, an invigorating and refreshing beverage. Today the natural, healthful properties of tea are being rediscovered. Twinings decaffeinates its tea using a gentle, low temperature process which unlike some other processes, removes the caffeine while allowing the majority of the flavonoid antioxidants to remain in the tea. Antioxidants may help protect the body from the damage caused by harmful free radicals. Established 1706. Good tea deserves the very best treatment. A tea from the Darjeeling region of India, in the foothills of the Himalayas. Darjeeling is valued for its fine, delicate flavour and aroma and is considered the Champagne of teas.
