Lala drank Earl Grey by Bistrotea

871 tasting notes

I have been drinking this one at work. I found that doubling up on the tea pods actually makes it quite delicious. The bergamot is strong and sweet, the black tea is bold but not overpowering. I was a little worried it would be too astringent or bitter with double the tea, but it isn’t. I think because the holes in the pods are so small, it does not diffuse very good. So double the tea, double the not so good diffusion. Almost done this one which is ok with me, but I am glad I found a way to enjoy it.

Profile

Bio

I am a lifetime tea lover.

I did foray into the world of coffee for a period of time, but I returned to my true love. I still, however, enjoy a good cup of java.

My all time favorite tea is Earl Grey, which I drink every morning, the stronger the bergamot the better. I definitely prefer natural oil of bergamot to artificial flavouring.

I mostly like black and dark oolong teas. My current favs are Fujian blacks, Keemun and Assams, and Wuyi oolongs. I gravitate towards anything with lychee in it. I also drink a lot of herbal blends but am wary of hibiscus. I do not favour mate, or pu’erh tea, although I have found a few blends that I like. (I so badly want to like straight pu’erh tea but it all tastes gross to me. I keep trying though). Rooibos, green and white teas fall somewhere in the middle. I find myself gravitating towards heavily roasted oolongs and teas from Paris/France based companies.

I love iced teas and cold brews.

My current tea goal is to make the perfect cup of chai from scratch – almost there…I think.

I am in love with the whole experience of tea.
