Due to the sample sent to me from Amanda I went ahead and ordered some of this and it arrived yesterday. Today I sit here enjoying a morning cup. This is one that you really need to allow to cool down some before sipping as the cheesecake flavors really pop far more once it has done so.
It is a wonderful balance between bergamot and the cheesecake flavor. It does in fact taste creamy with a nice lift from the bergamot and that tingle on the tongue that bergamot gives. Well at least that it gives me. I used to use bergamot often in my essential oil blends so earl grey and I have always had a love hate relationship in tea – to me it is an essence more than a flavor but I also have always enjoyed a cup of earl grey when I have had it – so its certainly more of a mental thing than a taste bud thing.
I do love a good earl grey now and again but I have to be in the mood and it seems with the weather shifting toward autumn I am certainly more in the mood lately!
Thank you Frank for this wonderful creation – it is so delightful to feel like I have added some creamer to my tea when I haven’t that cheesecake flavor is perfection!
