I have tried it plain and with lemon.  In both cases, I prefer English breakfast.  This tea has a bit of a smokey taste to it.  However, I started adding milk to my tea to change things up (I was strictly a lemon and tea guy prior - milk is easier to keep than lemons).  I found I really enjoyed milk (whole milk, not cream,  which is the English way), but I always picked up a bitter aftertaste in English breakfast.  I stumbled upon English Afternoon tea and was excited to see that Twinings blends this specifically for milk and sweetener "this tea is best served with milk and sweetener to bring out the optimal flavour".  After trying that, I agree -- it does taste better than more standard teas.  If you take milk with your tea, I highly recommend you try it, as you will probably love English Afternoon.  After trying this with milk and a touch of honey, it's now the tea I drink about 90% of the time (apologies to PG Tips).

Of note, my mom has never been a big black tea drinker, she finds it too bitter.  But this she will drink (and actually rather enjoys it).
