Having a cup of Twinings EG right now as I write this. Its just perfect. Still my fav EG. Its smooth and the bergamot is just perfect.I use about a tsp and a half of tea, boiling water and 5 minute steep. Very easy.
I love this EG, but I intend to keep looking for the perfect EG that I can rate 100. Still not there yet. I’m expecting some in the mail this week.

I really love this tea. Its dark brown and nutty, maybe chestnuts. Its so easy to drink with a sweet taste. I found this tea at Biglots, which means very inexpensive. The taste really grows on you. Now I need to try some other brands and compare, maybe Maeda-en.

This is my second note for this tea. It gets a plus for being green and a plus for being organic. Its very easy to drink with jasmine and grassy notes. I sip it in the evening as its very low in caffeine and is very relaxing.

This is my second time with Tazo Zen. The first time didn’t go so well. This time was much better. The spearmint taste wasn’t so overpowering. I lowered the water temp and only steeped for 3 minutes and this was a much better cup.

This is a much lighter version of Earl Grey with lemon and orange added. Its actually very easy to drink and very light. My wife likes this tea so I thought I would try it this morning and I am pleasantly surprised. I like the stronger EG’s, but I really enjoyed this tea.

This is a delicate chai tea. Its not overpowering at all. You can taste the cinnamon, ginger and cardamon in this tea. It has light peppery notes. It is much lighter than the black chai teas and for me a lot easier to drink. I really enjoyed this tea and so did my wife who is a coffee drinker. I will be drinking more of this tea.

This tea has a natural sweetness to it. It tastes very nutty. It has a dark brown color and reminds me of a good Hojicha. I’m sitting here watching the football game sipping this tea while everyone else is drinking beer and thinking I’m nuts. This is a tea I could drink all day, its that good and very inexpensive.

First thing you need to know is that this is one of my favorite teas and I am very biased.
I love the smell of it out of the tin and it seems to have the perfect amount of bergamot in it. You can smell the bergamot when steeping and its not the overpowering smell that many EG’s have. Too much bergamot in a tea is not a good thing to me. Its also very inexpensive and can be found almost everywhere. This is the tea I reach for when I need to unwind. I like the bagged version and use it mornings when I am in a hurry but the loose tea version is just so much better. I have tried hundreds of EG’s , but this is the tea I judge the others on. Its just a classic.

This tea has a nice smell to it, however after steeping it seems a little on the weak side as far as chai teas go. Its still a very good sipping tea with a little sweetener added. I can taste the cardamon and smell the coconut and it has a little pepper in it. I just love the tin that the tea comes in. I will reuse it and I may buy this tea again but for me I have had more spicy chai teas.

I found this at T.J. Maxx on sale no less. Its not a strong tea and it holds up without milk or sugar. You sure can taste the apple. No aftertaste and its not bitter. Its hit or miss with teas at TJMaxx and I may never see this tea again, but it can be ordered online at David Rio.

This is a delicate green tea with hints of Jasmine. This is not a strong tea. I’m drinking it in the evenings when I wind down. I drink this tea with 1/2 tsp of raw cane sugar. I found this tea at T.J.Maxx, very inexpensive.

I bought this at my local health foods store for only 2.05 per ounce. I like this Earl Grey. It has a classic taste and I think it tastes best with 1/2 tsp raw cane sugar. I like Twinings better, but I will buy this again.

I bought this tea at my local health foods store. Its an Earl Grey with moderate amounts of bergamot. It has a light taste and is not heavy at all. Its not for those who like a heavy bergamot taste. Very easy to drink with no milk or sugar. This tea gets better every time I drink it.

Way too much mint. This is not my cup of tea. The spearmint overpowers everything else thats in this tea. I’m hoping I can find someone to give this tea to. I really don’t see myself drinking it again.

I know this tea is rated high on Steepster, but I really didn’t care for it much. I love earl grey teas, but this one just seemed to be too mellow for me. I tried steeping anywhere from 2 to 5 minutes but had no luck at all. I even tried temps from 170 – 210. The tea just had no bite for me. I think the creme flavor this tea had just turned me off.

I really like this tea. Its organic which is a plus and I can buy it cheap at Walmart, another plus. Its really good without milk and only 1/2 tsp raw cane sugar. I will be buying more of this tea. Now if I could only find their Earl Grey I would be happy.

This tea is one of my favorites. Its a light black tea with subtle flavors that is easy to drink without milk. Its not bitter or overpowering. I usually drink this tea in the afternoon when I need to unwind.

I only drink this tea in the morning as its quite strong by my standards. I have to add sugar and soymilk as this is the only way I can drink it. PG is not an everyday tea for me but it really wakes you up in the morning.

This tea is a ok tea by Darjeeling standards. Its good, but not as good as other Darjeeling I have drank in loose tea form. But this tea is easy to fix as its a tea bag. Easy to find and wakes me up in the morning. It is however one of the better Darjeelings in tea bag form.

This is the first earl grey I ever drank and is also my favorite. The amount of bergamot in the brew seems almost perfect to me. I really enjoy this tea.

I like this tea as the leaves are actually aged in bergamot oranges, they don’t add the oil to the leaves. I think this makes a more subtle cup of earl grey as the bergamot doesn’t seem as strong as other earl greys I have drank. This is not one of my favorite Earl Greys, but it will do in a pinch.
