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 🥲

[@candicesantiago727]

Wouldn't it be so much fun to go there and have a tea party with Sinead.

[@JENNIFERJONES-bw1uw]

Such a cute shop with so much history

[@chriscaughey1103]

[@petnurser]

I will be in London in 2 weeks and I have just added another spot to shop! Thanks, Sinead!

[@ToursbyFootLondon]

You won't regret it!

Ok, so now im craving a cup of tea......I will go right now to buy some 🫖🫖🫖

[@maryrinehart2346]

Me too! I’m heading to my kitchen now. I try Earl Grey every now & then but just don’t care for it. English/Irish breakfast are my go-to teas. Enjoy your cuppa!

This was my actual favorite place in London the sweetest store I’ve ever seen and still my favorite tea

[@patbowman6723]

So interesting. Twinning's my favorite brand of tea. I especially love loose leaf teas. Thank you so much Sinead.

[@debcarroll8192]

So lovely to come across your video as I am sipping my cup of Twinings Earl Grey! Thanks again for another wonderful tour!

[@chuckcorris2392]

I want lemonade tea. It sounded so good. The clerk was very knowledgeable and pleasant…

She was such a star! We learned so much from her.

[@danielpra2850]

I love tea. I drink every day 1 liter different teas. This was a good tip. Next trip to GB I have to visit this shop.

[@ToursbyFootLondon]

It's well worth the visit, Daniel :)

[@wendykarleyhannenberg3411]

Once again Sinead this was a joy to view. Totally worth my time. I bought some coronation tea and will try the lemonade recipe. Now I need some biscuits!

[@ToursbyFootLondon]

Let us know how it turns out!

[@edenwalsh1014]

Just at that point when I was a wondering about ....lemon and ginger, hey presto! Hiw strange, you uttered "lemon and ginger" and then again the tote bag! ❤😂❤😂 One can't have too many tote bags ☺️❤

That was wonderful Sinead - I really enjoyed the tour, and what a lovely, informative & knowledgeable host to show us around. Thankyou!

[@lizstevenson7801]

I like Twinning English breakfast loose leaf tea. I make my own Earl Grey with adding a Bergamot leaf from my plant. I also like White tea leaves and sometimes at Lavender or mint to the pot. Thank you Sinaed that was lovely. My very, very favourite tea is Fortnum and Mason Queen Anne blend. 💕🇦🇺

[@ToursbyFootLondon]

Your personal creations sound great, Liz!

[@crystalwaters8852]

Love Bergamot!❤

[@crystalwaters8852]

Lemon balm is also a lovely delicate & refreshing taste.

[@ToursbyFootLondon]

It's well worth it, Joanne!

[@andrewtremblay262]

Sinead again what a great tour. I was with you a few weeks ago for the Westminister tour. Andrew from London Ontario Canada. You do a great job. Last October I went into that very store and met Julia. She was great. I bought a tin of loose Earl Grey. I savour it. Btw the 4Th Earl Grey was the monarch’s representative in Canada , Governor General , until 1911.

[@ToursbyFootLondon]

Thanks for the extra info Andrew :)

[@kimpoesse6699]

Fantastic! I just came home from the grocery store and yes .....I had bought my Twinings Earl Gray and some Walkers Shortbread and came home to this amazing and educational video! Sinead....you did it again! A great tour as always!

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 !!

Hi Sinead, we are still enjoying our Twinings tea here in Arizona. We are so glad you took us to this beautiful shop and we had the opportunity to taste and buy the delicious tea selections. X - Carolyn and Radu

[@deborahroberts1854]

I have to get some of that tea! What a wonderful shop! Thank you, Sinead!

[@rhondamartin3575]

Thank you so much for sharing this video ❤. I just love tea!!!!! I drink a pitcher of it a day cold and I have 2cups of hot tea also a day! So, essentially, I'm drinking tea ALL day ☀️❤️! 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!!!!!

[@ToursbyFootLondon]

Haha what a great story, Rhonda! This video must've been made just for you! :)

[@debschmitt761]

Sinead, I visited this shop last trip to London a few years ago and absolutely loved it! I knew they were the first to blend Earl Gray tea but did not know the recipe was a gift . Thanks for taking me back!

[@ToursbyFootLondon]

Our pleasure, Deb :)

[@Devinered]

OMGoodness! I watch your videos all the time and find them lovely but this video of Twinings tea was spectacular! The history was great and to get insight on a master class so much fun! I am ready to sign up! Julia was a dream I could listen to her share her tea knowledge all day! Nicely done! Thank you!

[@ToursbyFootLondon]

We are so glad this one exceeded your expectations! :)

[@DiscoDuck_73]

This is an outstanding tour! Thank you so much for doing this. As an avid tea drinker I found this to be so interesting. I loved it and thank you for the link to purchase things as well. You guys do amazing tours! Keep up the great work.

[@CzechCubBear]

their Plummy Earl Grey is an exquisite tea!!

[@janetclaireSays]

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!

[@ToursbyFootLondon]

Glad you enjoyed this one, Janet!

[@suewaltho4946]

Thank you Sinead now l go and get a cup of tea 🍵

[@quickclipsbyjmj]

EarI Grey is my favourite tea blend. An excellent video, once again. If anyone can find out which blend the king prefers, you can Sinead.

[@KevinMontreal]

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!

[@ToursbyFootLondon]

You are quite right, Kevin, they had a huge refurbishment a few years back!

[@b1mfua33]

I absolutely love this beautiful shop!! I am such a tea fanatic.This is the greatest video!! 🙂❤️❤️🇨🇦

I am a tea loving American and am living a dream of mine next week by going to Boston to see where we rebels threw tea into the harbor. After seeing this video, I am now going to have to go downstairs and fix me a lovely cup of Earl Grey with Lavander and Vanilla. Thanks for the wonderful videos- I always watch at least one of your videos on Sunday afternoons as a treat.
