    This actually brought me to tears. I don't know why. The beauty of the sparkling lemonade tea, the care that someone needs to take when they pluck the leaves, the tea educator's commitment to train and work there for several years, and Sinead's continuous grace as she leads us into these beautiful places. I really enjoyed this 🥲

    Thank You Sinead and everyone at “ FreeTours by Foot - London” for this amazing video !! I’ve loved Twinning Tea my entire life ( in my early Seventies now ) ! I’ve probably tried over those years 95% of all the different varieties made by Twinning. I do wish they would bring back “ Queen Mary “ variety, it was my first favourite as a teenager!! I’m coming over to London on Queen Mary 2 this Summer of 2023 and now will have the chance for the first time to visit Twinning Tea Shop on the Strand. This Fantastic Video has increased my growing excitement! Thank You for All your Wonderful Videos on London !! They have so helped me plan my itinerary for each day of my vacation !!

My mother-in-law can't understand it! I told her about the health benefits of it but she still seems clueless!
    My cousin always teased me about drinking tea and then, last Summer, I started doing my father's family genealogy research and discovered that I'm related to Almost EVERY member of the English Royal family and of other nobles and royals from other countries! Grandparents, cousins, etc!! ❤ I'm over the moon excited, honored and humbled at knowing this! NOW, she says It's no wonder I love my tea! It's because I'm mostly British and descended from royalty ❤😊. I love all of it and thank you so very much for sharing this lovely video!!!!!

    This shop has had a major lifting… when I was there about 15 years ago it was a creaky floor and wooden bins with all the teas to buy by the tea bag. You could get tin loose leaf but way less choices. If I ever get back to London, this is on the list for sure!

    Love this tour! If I could only visit one shop in London, this would be it! I'm from Chicago and when I lived there Twinings would have been the tea I'd buy when I wanted something special. Since moving to Ireland Barry's Gold Blend tea in the red box is all I usually drink now! Also, the story about Earl Grey tea is so interesting, but to me it tastes like drinking perfume and I could never get used to it. But the best scone I ever had was Earl Grey flavored, so I'd buy some to make that if I had a good recipe. Thank you for another great tour, the information was so interesting. The flower blooming tea was amazing!
