I wish they would’ve let him talk more about the tea and the business. He looks like he has such passion for what they do and has so many great stories. These segments all seem rushed which is unfair.
Not "they;" she.
@@Master_Blackthorne I think they were referring to the network instead of the person but still no one cares that ur a conservative
@@Master_Blackthorne im assuming they said they because they are under the assumption that TV interviews like this are more of a collaboration project rather than just the anchorwoman. As in, they didnt want to put the blame solely on her when it might not be her fault that the interview seems unfair
@@iMac9991 alRight
They. Because she only does what she is told to do.
Respect for the proper british teeth. A man of tradition.
LOL I'm just now seeing this video. When she said he drank 9 cups of tea a day & then the camera showed him smiling as he was being introduced, I cracked up. Yes, his teeth are proof that he drinks 9 cups of tea a day & a reminder to NOT drink 9 cups of tea a day.

Oh my god!!! Hahaha i remember my periodontics class and this reference mentioning the Brits and their dental practices.
hahahahahah we all noticed

China: am I a joke to you?
Same with Czech Republic, of course.

Alcohol is more appropriate for the Czech. I was shocked when I visited Prague, and of course being an American, I visited a fast-food chain. More precisely put, Burger King. And to my surprise, they served alcohol inside Burger King. And alcohol-free. Genuinely alcohol inside fast-food restaurants.

He seems like such a nice mate
He is a tea LORD
I dealt with Twinings as a company some years ago. In reception in their head offices in Andover (UK) there's a waiting area with a huge selection of tea bags (all sealed!) Which you can stuff your pockets with. Ive still got some stored away waiting to be used!

China (serves hot tea during every meal): 👀
Japan (holds tea ceremonies that defined their religion and culture): 👀
India (sells tea on the streets all day, makes disposable clay cups solely for drinking tea): 👀
Malaysia(ordering tea/tea o ice in any cafes,restaurants,street vendors is a MUST)
Taiwan~ boba milk tea everyday
Sizzling Grill you do realize it’s served with actual tea with milk and sugar right? They just add boba to it
Sizzling Grill ...... it depends on the drink and the tea shop making the drink. Some drinks such as taro milk tea or fruit milk tea don’t have any tea in it sure, but general milk tea is brewed with black or green tea and then added with milk or sugar. The tea to milk ratio varies depending on the tea shop but most of the time the ratio for the tea is higher. Some tea shops will allow you to choose how much if any sugar you want so to say that “removes all tea quality and flavours” is just wrong. The quality of tea used also depends on the tea shop. Some take it very seriously and will use good quality tea esp if it’s affiliated to a tea brand like Ten Ren and some will only focus on yummy drinks. Your comment, while not entirely wrong, overgeneralises boba milk tea as another “sweet drink”
Sizzling Grill actually I have and I love tea, I was using Ten Ren as a better quality in comparison to some other boba shops that don’t use fresh ingredients and uses powder flavour for their tea. (FYI Ten Ren has been around since 1953) Your issue here is that if tea is mixed with sugar and milk and all other stuff then it’s not tea correct? Well does that mean British tea mixed with milk and sugar is not tea then? And some people like to put quite a lot. What about Tibetan yak tea then? Does that not count as tea? Why go about boba milk tea like this? I do agree that putting too much tea and other flavourings destroy the quality of tea which is why when I feel like drinking proper tea I brew/drink it the traditional way. There are many Taiwanese tea farms that I like to patronise and I am well aware of how to brew gong fu tea properly. Everyone has their preferences and as far as I’m concerned, anything that is tea based is tea. I respect your perspective but at this point you are really sound like a “tea snob” who just want to bash anything that does not fit your world view.
I wish more people would take the time out of their day to have a few minutes to clear their mind and drink a cup of tea. It makes your day so much better ❤️
I do! I have an Earl Grey addiction and make no apologies for it.
Thank goodness someone finally said no sugar!
Americans can't taste anything unless it has copious amounts of salt or sugar in it.
Screw the rules, they aremeant to broken 🇺🇲🇺🇲
It's better without sugar
Earl Grey with no sugar? I never tried that before. Not sure if I like that.
@@LikaLaruku or it's fried
It's interesting when he said the colour of the tea is not the flavour. I always thought it was.
true.... can one make transparent tea with the exact same taste I wonder 🤔 ☕👌
This conversation felt very tense. Like the interviewer needed to go somewhere 10 minutes ago
Ikr, I'm rushed to note what they say.
I thought this as well and it kinda made me cringe.
Maybe she had to pee.
@@VivKittie32 haha
Maybe it was just a commercial so the time was settled.
They are my favorite tea company! I love there green jasmine tea and I brew it in my Mrs.Tea Pot. I usually take 2 tea bags of the green Jasmine tea and I open the bags dump it in the filter part and sometimes I add a pinch of lavender buds ( about 10) and 2 chamomile buds and when I make it like this When it’s done in my cup I add a tiny bit of milk and 2 Splendas. When it’s just the Jasmine n green tea by it’s self I drink it plain. They are my favorite tea company
It's always inspiring to see people who are as keen on their work as this guy.
I really love love this tea!Its one of my favorites!
Guys his dental health is brilliant, most people his age have lost all of their teeth but he has not which indicates better dental health.
Chinese ppl brew tea with lid on and off bases on different types of tea and match tea with different kinds of teapot and cup, some teapots are made of clay some are glass.
Good to know. Thanks for the insight.
True
Thank you for the tea time - beautifully done and I love Royal Family way of life.
Excellent topic. Thank you for sharing.
He's so enthusiastic but sadly that woman always like cutting him and not letting him at least finish
i know, ot's so sad to watch
she's keeping him on topic. She has a stressful job keeping time.
I don't count how many cups of tea that I drink during the day but not as much as he does; yet I do drink tea all day long. Kudos to Mr. Twinning! Thank you for sharing and for making such great teas.
You're welcome 👋👀
I drink a lot too. I have a large travel mug (I’m American) that I need to use two bags with. I make 3-4 cups a day so 6-8 bags.
"No country that enjoys its tea more than Great Britain."
Me as a Chinese: Excuse me?? I drink Oolong or green tea everyday.
I just had my first cup of oolong tea yesterday and it was awesome lol
trukey drinks the most tea per capita
Britain is not about quantity it is about quality. Doing it with a style. Making it worth storytelling.
@@missourimongoose7643what is oolong tea
Y'all be like, "eww look at his teeth!" The guy probably has enough money to have the most perfect teeth. He just doesn't seem to care :p
dojokonojo: I've thought the same thing...but I also wonder if it could be just British culture. What do you think?
He must've let the tea seep for too long
Generally, Brits seem to not be as image focused. I figure health is more important.
I think that’s it pretty much - they go to the dentist and get all the usual checks and treatments for decay and disease, they just don’t value paying the extra for cosmetics - straightening, bleaching, etc.
Then again British teeth confuse Americans, Americans lack of electric kettles confuse brits, it’s all good
His teeth belong on the Jeremy Kyle Show
I didn’t know that, good to find that out. Thanks 🇬🇧❤️
My ideal tea is twinings Morning Tea, English breakfast, earl grey, or lady grey. Steeped 1 minute. Add 1 equal tablet and stir. Add quite a bit of milk and stir. Remove tea bag and serve.
I really like this tea , it's so lucky I can get this in Malaysia .
Wow, a 5:21 ad for tea made they should have disclosed that at the beginning

This is fascinating!
9 cups a day? Wow I thought i was over drinking at 5 cups 😂
Twinings Earl Grey in the U.K. purple and black box is my favorite tea. The gold box sold in the U.S .isn't quite the same.
Why the hell did they put that many cups of tea in the table and not drink them?
What a waste!
I come from a long line of people who drink one sip of coffee per hour & continuously reheat it over & over & over.
Lieutenant BaconWaffles but why?
@@LikaLaruku : Oh brother!!! What a nasty habit...or just laziness??? If you paid me to do that, I would, but for $5000.00 per hour. LOL!!!
Probably used by the studio guys
The very moment you use a teabag, you are indeed brewing it all wrong.
Interesting story about Earl Gray. Thank you.
Twinings is my favorite brand of tea.
neonia hazelwood It's spelt favourite you uneducated American.
Royal Minister It’s “favorite” in American English. Same with color, armor, etc. You’re the ignorant one for assuming it had to do with her education.
Same if its not from Britton I am not drinking that
Fortnite Fathers respect other countries pls.Unless if it’s North Korea or Any other communist country
@@fortnitefathers5831 manners can be taught , it's a shame you skipped those lesson despite your immaculate spelling.
What an interesting and pleasant man. I just would love to hear him talk longer.
I was drinking a Twinnings tea while watching. Best tea there is
They make my absolute favorite tea.
The twining green is superb 👌
I like Earl Grey extra strong; 2 bags per cup, brown sugar, brewed for 20 minutes then reheated to brew for another 10. Iced tea cold brews for 12 hours.
This may be an ad, but it was done so well
Thanks you
I like these clear mugs🤗
I am a teaholic drinker😁😍
UK is #3 in the world in terms of tea consumption per person, only Ireland #2 and Turkey #1 consume more
I love Twinnings of London brand of Tea. :-) the only problem is every time i get it i dont have a kettle. :( the only way i can currently make it is with boiling the water with a microwave... You can still taste it but the flavor is very weak. :-(
i love that spot. when can i move to England?
I don’t like their Earl Grey but I use a bag of Twinnings Lady Grey and a bag of either Bigelow or Harney’s Earl Grey.
I love french vanilla chai.
neonia hazelwood mango and lychee green tea
He was so eager to tell more wonderful things. They abruptly ended the interview. Americans don't like Tea.
Manish Sahay Some Americans like tea. You can't categorize a while country like that.
Lies you tell.
Tea is the most consumed drink in the world behind water. Lots of Americans drink tea.
Manish Sahay, I love tea. My Scottish aunt insisted that I learn to make a proper pot of tea when I was a young girl. I still make it the same way she taught me.
I am.an american who LOVES tea. Also I LOVE people.
Soon as i saw the teeth i knew this man was an expert
Oh yes, perfect stereotype of British teeth right here.
Just in case any American people see this. Where British teeth are still fairly crooked as braces are only used for medical needs and seldom for aesthetic reasons , they are not horribly stained as this gentleman's teeth are. Thankfully I can say the days of terrible oral hygiene are behind us.
Probably all the tea he drinks now that I think about it. That or he chainsmokes 40 cigarettes a day.
Edit: wow forgotten that I even made this comment. Just to clarify I wasn't being unpleasant towards the man in question. I just wanted to point out that his teeth are not indicative of English people as there is a stereotype that brits have terrible teeth. And of course the staining is probably because of the copious amounts of tea he drinks, given he runs a tea company.Not necessarily because of bad mouth hygiene as I think some people thought I was implying about the gentleman in question
"Oral hygiene" has nothing to do with stained teeth. You can't remove tannins stains from the enamel of your teeth with a tooth brush, regardless of how hard or often you try. The only way to remove them is with ultrasounds, usually in a dentist's clinic, though you shouldn't regularly do it more than once a year since it's a rather abrasive treatment.
Yes, but Americans look like they drink bleach, not tea.
Citizen T Haha! That is so true. We Americans are obsessed with white teeth nowadays so much that some people's teeth are BLINDINGLY white! Super unnatural.
He is an heir to a tea family. I figured that a lifetime of tea tasting was responsible
Benjamin O'Connor Not to be forgotten... "He laughs all the way to the bank!"
So interesting
Is that supposed to be sarcastic?
oh good to know! what a dip!
The time u have to wait to drink it is literally written on the box !
“Little shop” in London ? 🤨 ma’am, this little shop is a huuuuggee empire 😂 she interrupts him all the time, so rude. She doesn’t realize the honour she was given by being able to talk to the 10th generation of a man that his roots brought one of the most of consumed teas in history! (Earl Grey)
Well he looked like he puts his pants on the same way her dad does.. sooo 🤷🏼♀️ 😂 . She was a bit of a tear, honestly.
Thank you Twinings for the best tea in the world!
Tea with cakes, wow ! 😋
Never thought the British would drink the tea with the bag still in it.
the British Twinings commercials say "twin-ings" not "twine-ings"
What a quintessential lady.
The physical pain on this man's face when she asked about sugar 😘👌
heated all leaves releasing flavour,the best concoction
I'm curious what would be a good twinnings tea that has some sweetness to it that and doesn't require sugar to be sweet?
Keemun
correct. fresh drawn water. tea leaves not tea bags
"And I assume his name was 'Earl Grey'?"
Everyone has some kind of knowledge gap, but mistakenly consider "Earl" as a first name, in an interview about tea with a man named Twinnings, as a native English speaker is somewhat improper.
Well As long as You give the Royal Ambassador as myself good Tea. I will be Happy.

Them:You have been brewing tea wrong
Me:Fools I can make boba
Should I remove the tea bag or is it ok to leave it in?

You know the lady doing the interview is not doing the media or this country any favors. She's rude and being professional. I feel sorry Mr. Twining. I love his companies tea.
Milk in the cup first of course and a nice biscuit to dip, perfick!
Tetley tea, milk and two sugars. The perfect brew. This bloke is so posh, we generally have our brews any time we feel like and if your lucky you get a biscuit.
I drink so much black tea. I hope my teeth wont go brown.
My dentist says either drink it through a metal straw, or get teeth cleaned by a dentist every 6 months, to prevent teeth staining.
Tea Time!
Darjeeling for ever. I must admit I transgress the rules and put a splash of milk in the cup first because it doesn't seem cool the tea as much as milk apres.
So forgive me for asking, I know he said no sugar in a black tea but is it really that bad if I do that? Even if it's a small amount? Is it common for most people to do that or am I just one of the few 😅 thanks!
Tbh, it’s up to preference m8. He just doesn’t like sugar in his tea because it overpowers the taste which I agree with. But you can use sugar my guy, I just like my tea with honey better :P
This comment is 4 years old I know but you shouldn’t worry about what other people think or do or what’s considered “normal” which is a subjective term anyway tbh. If you like tea with sugar then have sugar, it’s not that deep haha. If someone has a problem with it then that’s *their* own problem, ignore the miserable karens and drink your tea however you want 😋
@@R3Rou I’ve never thought of putting honey in my tea! I’m gonna give it a try
I have to say Twinnings Master Blenders Tea one of the Best I tried Medley of Mint and Chamomile it’s Taste is true and delicious....
Worth every penny
I tried Catnip tea a few times, It tastes like 2 parts chamomile & 1 part mint.
Lieutenant BaconWaffles ohh very interesting I will give it a try and this is by twinnings if I’m correct??
Also my favourite is twinnings medley of mint and budding meadow Chamomile by Master blenders truly one of a kind..
Cheers
Alan
I always hated captions like this. How do YOU know what way I brew my tea?
You know he's not exaggerating looking at his discolored teeth. Much respect!
Are most of Twinings tea brand organic?
Reporter: "A man who drinks 9 cups of tea a day." Me: "Oh his teeth must look horrible." Single shot on Stephen. Confirmed.
I brew according to the box
Excuse my ignorance here, but I'm guessing in Great Britain, people do NOT say "cheers" when sitting down to drink tea, lol!
I've been brewing tea incorrectly all of my life!
"A man who drinks at least nine cups of tea a day" Yep, I believe it.
"no country that enjoys it's tea more than great Britain"
The republic of Ireland: am I a joke to you?
the perfect cup of tea...with a tea bag?!
This is The Most British Man in the world.
The best tea is brewed using quality tea leaves. No sugar, no milk.
Fairly nice to belong to something so long standing.
Wow
I would like to know what people put in their tea without using sugar? Sugar is such an inflammatory thing and if you don't get pure cane sugar you are buying GMO beet sugar which is not good because they have glysophate (ie Roundup).
I am trying lemon juice.
Although I am lactose intolerant but heavy cream sounds pretty good.
Honey is also a very nice choice, adds an earthy and light sweetness to the palate.
i'm confused, isn't twinings a 13 year old brand? or is there a different twinings in Singapore?
Tempting to see all the cups
Twinings is my favourite tea brand
