Earl Grey Supreme from Harney & Sons
94

A sample of this arrived with my recent Harney order. I thought I’d give it a go this morning. I’m not a huge Earl Grey fan…I like it, but it’s a case of I like what I like and don’t often branch out. Well, I may have to branch out after drinking half the cup! It actually reminded me of Fruity Pebbles in taste which in this case is not a bad thing. I really used to love Fruity Pebbles when I was little so this brought me back to a more carefree time in my life. That is one thing I love with Harney & Sons teas, they always and I do mean ALWAYS evoke a memory of some kind for me. The Bergamot was a little stronger in this tea, but it was mighty tasty. I did add a hint of sweetener to this one, but not too much so as to take away from the tea. Look out only other earl grey in my cabinet there is a new sheriff coming to town!

This is one of, if not my favorite Earl Grey. :))

Oh yes, I think I just heard my wallet weep from my purse. :) A few friends and I are planning a trip to the shop and possible factory tour in the near future…adding this one to the list!

My fave Earl! And Diamond Jubliee tastes like a milder version of this, with an extra flavor added that does not come across as grapefruit to me, which is a good thing. Two grapefruit haters drank it with me and liked it.

I really like Earl Greyer from Republic of Teas, but this one may just have topped that!

I like EG Supreme better because I can taste the base tea and the bergamot is not too much. Earl Greyer is really good iced I think. :))

I’m feeling like that might be the case. I might have to do a side by side with them soon… perhaps this weekend! I’ve never tried the Earl Greyer Iced, but I will now!!

I used 2 Earl greyer teabags when I iced it using a 10-12 oz mug.

What would that translate to for the loose tea version?

How many ounces is your cup??

Depends anywhere from 6oz to 12oz

The general rule is 2 x as much for iced or cold brew teas. I would start with 5-6 grams of loose tea, and adjust according to taste.

Bio

Tea lover, wife, mother to three cats, reader, and writer. I started drinking and enjoying tea (yes, yes it was Lipton, but it got me started) when my grandmother first introduced me to tea with milk and sugar (and peanut butter and jelly on toast) and my love just grew from there.

I was brought to loose leaf through a trip to Teavana, but my taste has expanded along with my love of tea in general. Now to get my husband to drink some too! :)

I’m happy to try samples and review them if you are a tea company. PLEASE NOTE I do not want payment for tasting/reviewing your teas. Just the sample will be fine. :)

If you would like to get in touch with me I can be reached via email at thepurrfectcup@gmail.com, thank you.
