Earl Grey Creme Vanilla (TE01) from Upton Tea Imports

The Purrfect Cup drank Earl Grey Creme Vanilla (TE01) by Upton Tea Imports

This smells interesting in the tin (I bought the sample set). I couldn’t tell what it smells like in the little perfect tea maker I have it steeping in. In my cup I get a hint of vanilla, the rest is all earl grey. Which isn’t bad, but I had hopped for more of a vanilla creme flavor as was advertised in the name on the tin. Still yummy! This is also the third earl grey (I think) in my quest to like this type of tea.

Apparently I do like this one as I’ve almost finished the cup in record time! Going to try the Chocolate one again. Suggestions for really getting the chocolate flavor from it?

I absolutely love the chocolate one. Not sure why you are not getting enough chocolate flavor. I haven’t tried the others though but I may have to in the future. I steeped the chocolate one at 208 for 4mins. Nothing special

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.
