Twinings Tins

Hello and welcome, Henry.

Apparently so; see:

Yes, but they will be very expensive. :-) No, seriously, I used to keep some Twinings tins around for storing new purchases of loose tea, but somehow I kept acquiring newer tins of other kinds of tea, so the old Twinings tins got grotty and rusty. Eventually I stopped drinking Twinings anyway.

It was the brand that first got me into the world of tea, though, some 40 years ago.

I'm not a collector but over the decades I've never thrown away a tin from any brand. I'm sure I've got every Twinings even my favorite Formosa Oolong long gone. One day maybe I can retire as I see them in antique stores for much more than I paid. During the eighties I use to buy a tea brand in 1oz tins and I have hundreds of them. Only the tradename was on the side and lid.

Thanks for all the welcomes!

I grew up drinking orange pekoe from Salada...not the greatest and bunch of diff kinds of oolong, green teas etc found at Chinatown here in Montreal.

I know Twinings aren't the "best" out there but I've found that I like the taste and it seems to be consistent. The ones I buy here aren't packaged in the US but directly from the UK....I heard there were some small differences.

Anyone what the total line of Twinings is in Canada? Doesn't mention on their site, except for the US and Int'l.

Henry,

Can't speak authoritatively on the Twinings and Salada issues, but if I lived in Montreal, I would certainly check out Kevin Gascoyne at Kyela Teas

Might be worth a visit for Darjeelings. (Are you familiar with him?)

Welcome aboard.

Michael

I'm not in Canada, but a Canadian merchant that has Brown Bettys is Murchie's
