What You Should Know

Twinings Earl Grey (50 ct) is a shelf-stable box of classic black tea lightly scented with bergamot oil and natural citrus notes. You’ll find it in the grocery’s Tea & Coffee aisle, stacked near other traditional black and flavored teas, next to herbal tisanes, honey, simple syrups and teapot accessories. It fits morning routines, leisurely weekend brunches, and quiet afternoon rituals — any shopping trip for pantry staples or comfort beverages. Twinings positions this product as a heritage, premium everyday tea: a centuries-old British blend marketed toward adults who appreciate tradition, subtle sophistication, and consistent flavor rather than novelty. The box emphasizes craftsmanship, natural flavoring and wellbeing, but it carries no kid-focused branding and no organic certification on the label; the ingredient list is short and the phrase “natural flavours” creates a mild health halo without specific claims like organic or non-GMO. In plain processing context: this is a minimally processed dried tea blend that has been flavored and packaged industrially into tea bags. Sensory details: the dry tea is fine-cut black leaves with flecks of bergamot peel; steeped, it yields a clear amber cup with brisk tannins and a bright, citrus-bergamot aroma and finish. Packaging is a small, rectangular cardboard box containing individually bagged sachets or envelopes, making it easy to brew one cup at a time. The ritual is hands-on — boil water, steep a bag for ~5 minutes, remove and sip — a simple, comforting pause in a busy day or an elegant complement to toast and biscuits at brunch.

Ultra-Processing Assessment

NOVA Score:3 / 4

Processed Food

Why this score?

Made primarily of dried black tea and bergamot peel but including 'natural flavours' and industrial tea-bag packaging, it is more processed than a single-ingredient food yet not a highly formulated ultra-processed product.
