Love it so much I booked a trip to London from the USA- Really !!! – I am completely serious, when I found out that Twinings retired the flavor I took my wife to London to visit the store. When we got there I was heartbroken when they told me it was retired. I kept searching and found a friend of my wife's that lives in Australia. She visits the US twice a year and she brought me 10 boxes of 50 each. They are now… Read more
discontinued there too. I use them sparingly but they will run out eventually. I am still searching the global internet hopefully trying to find anything. I know this sounds crazy but this is the only tea flavor, Twinings or any other brand that makes me feel better. During my on-line searches I have corresponded with many people that feel the same way. They all begged Twinings to bring it back into circulation. I cannot believe it was not a profitable flavor when I have come across so many people all over the world that are much more than disappointed and cannot find anything else that would be a substitution for the one of a kind PERFECT blend and taste. I will continue the search but my real hope is that Twinings would start selling it again. I know they will get my business and many many others too.
Woolworths abuse of market power yet again....!! – Very disappointed to find out after reading all these reviews, the reason why I have not been able to find my favourite tea, Twinings Lemon Scented. Woolworths appear to have been the main reason for this product discontinuation which shows the power this large supermarket chain exerts over it's product suppliers at the expense of it's consumers'… Read more
satisfaction. This product has continually been in short supply at Woolworths which has restricted my choice to other teas, less satisfying to myself. For Woolworths to say that it was a low selling product, demonstrates how easily they can manipulate the market & it's consumers. They created the situation in the first place for reasons unknown....perhaps to put out their own brand lemon scented tea? We have seen this modus operandi before, with other popular products being gradually pushed out from the shelves in favour of their own brand inferior products. Shame on you Woolworths! Please note that my rating is based on the quality of the Twinings Lemon Scented tea & not Woolworths' service to it's loyal customers.
Lacks The Original Flavour! – I have been drinking Twinings Lemon Scented Tea for as long as I can remember and did think the lemon flavour was lacking over the last year or so, but wondered if it was just me and that my sense of taste was the problem. Today I was cleaning out a cupboard and came across an old picnic case in which I found some Lemon Scented tea bags in a… Read more
plastic container. The bags were individually wrapped, but in a paper cover that you tear open and the yellow flimsy tag tears away from the bag. It's not like the plastic type of individually wrapped tea bags you get these days where the bag is separate to the cover and it has a harder separate black tag. I was nearly going to throw the tea bags away thinking they would be old and would have lost their flavour, but I'm so glad I didn't because the flavour was SO much more lemony and it made me realise I don't have a problem at all with my sense of taste. WHY OH WHY has Twinings changed the way this tea is produced! :( Very sad indeed!!
Like others, I can only purchase this tea from Woolworths now, but seriously thinking of giving it the flick!!

Bring Back Twinnings Lemon Scented – I was a huge dan of this tea and couldn't believe that it disappeared. I went across to Dilma but I'm still hooked on Twinnings Lemon Scented. Bring it back please!
Why Woolworths? – We have been buying Twinings Lemon Tea for the last 20 plus years. Now can’t buy it anywhere on the Gold Coast. Woolworths stopped stocking it. Why???? We want it back. The other stuff is rubbish! NOT HAPPY!!! The rating is not reflective of the tea but the fact that we can no longer find it. Show details
Bring back the lemon – I have been drinking lemond scented tea for over 30 years, what the hell is going on. Why change it, as it's so tasteless and yes I have tried many times thinking it might change back but it's still same and know I have to find something else to drink which is sad. First you change the size from 50 to 30 in a pack then you took the taste so please… Read more
don't change things that are not necessarily. Bring back the old tea or you will loose us as your customers.

Lucky me – Just bragging. After it was discontinued in Australia I asked some friends in New Zealand to send me some. After a delay of 3 years I received 5 x 20 bag boxes last week. I’m sure they are probably all that’s left in the world. Lucky me. By the way they are packed in foil so no loss of flavour. Wish they were available in the supermarkets again. Show details
This is the best tea EVER!!! – WHY has this tea been discontinued, when it is so popular???? Is it because yous are trying to promote your new flavour lemon infusions with a fruit twist? This one is rubbish. And this one won't sell if you keep the popular lemon scented on the shelf? Suppliers do this all the time!!! It's very infuriating!!! Bring back this item PLEASE!!!! Show details
THE STRUGGLE IS REAL!! – I am so missing my Twinings Lemon Scented Tea, it was the best tea ever and finding the struggle is real, no other tea comes anywhere near it, was so refreshing, always brought the largest box and didnt care the cost as long as I had it in my pantry at all times, also introduced it to many friends and family who now love it too and disappointed to see that its been discontinued, please bring it back - Top Fan from New Zealand.

Make your own, it’s easy – I have the answer. 1 black teabag in cup, 1/4 tsp dried lemon myrtle in immersion strainer. Add water. Steep. Then add milk. Tastes exactly the same. Australian native myrtle

Bring back Twinings Lemon Scented – Bizarre that this can still be purchased in NZ but not in Australia. It is the best cuppa. Please bring it back to Australia (or at least allow online purchase)!
I have virtually stopped drinking tea, since your Lemon Scented Tea went off the market. It is the perfect refresher! – I have virtually stopped drinking tea, since your Lemon Scented Tea was unavailable. I still look in every store I go into, just in case there is a packet left. I even have people who came to may place especially so they could have a cup of Lemon Scented tea. Please put it back on the market, there are so many of us who miss it. Show details
I Miss my Lemon Scented Tea desperately!!!! – I agree wholeheartedly with those griefstricken over our favourite tea Twinings Lemon Scented Tea being discontinued. I just wish I had known before I would have stocked up floor to ceiling!! Twinings please consider renewing production....I miss it every day in particular first thing in the morning.
Found in New Zealand – After much looking for and communicating with Twinings I have found without any help from them that Twinings Lemon Scented Tea is still available in the Countdown stores in New Zealand. They will not post to Australia so I appealed to some of my Facebook friends who live there or who have acquaintances there and I now have managed to organise a… Read more
continuing supply. So if you have any friends or family in New Zealand appeal to them for help. Cheers.

This was my favourite. Devastated it has been discontinued – Having enjoyed this tea for decades, I was very disappointed to see that Woolworths no longer have it available and totally devastated to find that Twinings have discontinued it. PLEASE bring it back. Show details
Bring back Twinings Lemon Scented Tea – I too am dismayed that we cannot but it anymore. I wrote to Twinings and got a very poor response. They suggested I try their other varieties I told them that would not be happening Lemon Twist doesn’t cut it Show details
So Sad – I don’t like coffee and have found Twinings Lemon Scented the only tea I really like. Have tried other lemon type teas when Twinings unavailable and have not liked them. Have been buying it for years. So disappointed Show details
Enjoyable at any time of day, this tea was the perfect compliment to sweet and savoury nibble time! – My family and I have been drinking this tea as long as we can remember. It's been the tea of choice down through the years for morning and afternoon teatimes and will be greatly missed. Please, please, please bring it back! Show details
What will I do? – Lemon-scented tea is my 'Go-to' all day every day. I understand you have a lot of teas and display places in supermarkets cost money. Yet, surely your loyal customers (ie:- ME) deserve to be rewarded by the continued supply of my favourite tea. Please, keep Lemon Scented tea in my cup. Show details
My last Lemon Scented teabag - oh no!!! – So disappointed that I cannot get Twinings Lemon Scented tea any more. It was the one I used all the time. I am about to have my last teabag this afternoon. I agree with the other comments - "my one and only tea", "devastated", "why". Is it Twinings or Woolworths that have stopped the supply?
Can't live without my Lemon Scented Tea – I am devastated that my "sunshine in a cup" has been taken away - out of my life! I've been drinking this tea for over 35 years. It is the most refreshing blend, able to be consumed at any time of the day and I have introduced many people to it who just love it as well! I also contacted both Woolies and Twinings with no real valid explanation and… Read more
I also used to purchase about 5 boxes at a time in order to not run out. Twinings - can we not just purchase this online? Why oh why? A friend found a box for me (last one in their local store) and gave this to me - I am savouring with one a day, but trying to get two cups out of it - my stock is dwindling and I have not found anything I enjoy nearly quite as much. I love tea - what to do? :(
My one and only tea!!! – I was devastated when I heard my favourite Twinings lemon scented tea has been discontinued! I contacted both Woolies & Twinings and both said lack of sales....rubbish..as soon as it hit the shelves it was gone! I used to buy 3 boxes at a time to ensure I didn't run out. My life is not the same without my Lemon scented Twinings tea...and no,… Read more
I don't want their suggestions of what is mainly herbal tea. Bring back the obviously very popular Twinings Lemon Scented Tea...there is nothing like it!!!
