I ♥ NewYorkCiTEA drank Earl Grey by Andrews & Dunham Damn Fine Tea

545 tasting notes

After not acting on my desire for Earl Grey as my morning cup yesterday, I decided to make a London Fog this morning. I think I’ve come to the conclusion that A&D’s Earl Grey doesn’t make a good London Fog. It just doesn’t have a strong enough black tea taste to make the London Fog taste like tea. I used a bit extra leaf and steeped the tea for about 10 minutes today and used only a bit of milk. I got milky vanilla orange water, more vanilla than orange actually.

Preparation

205 °F / 96 °C 8 min or more

Bio

I’m 33 years old, studying pharmacy, and have a surly cat named Bin. I love tea, coffee, beer, wine, and most things food and beverage related. I also love music, movies, reading, writing, and learning new things.

I’ve drank tea all my life but about five to six years ago, my close friend Spautz got into tea and got me more into tea. I drink black teas and tisanes/herbals most. Since receiving a variable temperature kettle from my parents for Xmas this past year, I’ve been drinking more greens, oolongs, and whites. I’m very very new to puerh. That is, I’ve had only one.
