Oops, steeped it a little overlong, but it’s still tasty. Nom.

Should probably not be drinking a black tea, but an earl grey on this overcast marine morning is irresistible.

Oh, Earl Grey, how I love you. It’s a nice partially sunny day outside, but it’s foggy and cold and dreary in my head, but with you everything is cozy. And maybe in a bit I’ll wake up a little.

Monday morning calls out for a nice Earl Grey. Om nom nom!

When I need an earl grey, I turn to this one every time when it’s an option. The flavorings are not overwhelming, allowing the tea to come through, but they’re there and distinguished. Hints of tangerine & lime provide some additional interesting notes. Love this tea!

Intesting tea…tastes like a christmas stollen. The Ceylon comes across a bit rough for my taste but overall a pleasant tea to drink. I got it as a gift. Only by looking at the fancy tin I know I’de probably would have found it a bit to expensive. I am not a big fan of those flavored teas that are coming from France. They got rather popular during the last couple of years…especially in Asia. Japanese love to buy it as a present for others…cool tin and flavorwise something totally different to which they are used to.

So I was stuck at JFK airport for several hours on the day after Christmas, in the Jetblue terminal. Even though it was after 10pm, there were several thousand people in the terminal with various flight delays and all the bars and restaurants stayed open past midnight. In our gate area was a sit down bar and an espresso bar with Illy coffe products. They had tea also, of course, and I had not had the brand of tea they offered. They had a choice of Earl Grey, chai, a few others, but the one I had definitely never had was described to me by the young barista as “strawberry tea.”

Okay, sure, I thought. I’m stuck here for another hour. I’m a little chilly. Worst comes to worst I’ll put sugar and milk in it and think of it as a tea flavored strawberry shake.

Turns out it was perfectly yummy just as tea. The strawberry sweetness was quite pronounced, and it normally would have been “too fruity” for me, but for a comforting hot drink in a challenging environment, it was very pleasant. I’ll have it again.

backlogging / had this yesterday.
Sweet, but not as sweet as the usual Rooibos. I thought it was more sugar-tasting, but I had to add sugar myself to really enjoy it.
Quite decent, though.

This is one of my favorite teas. Well balanced, smooth, wonderful aroma. Great first thing in the morning, especially on cold days.

enjoyed its soft smoked taste. almost needs no sugar.

quite liked the fruit-ish taste of biscuits, very sweet.

Prepared with suger and extra mint leaves.

It’s fruity

While eating makis !

It was too strong for me. I’m not sure how else to describe it.

The first couple of cups were good, but somewhere along the way it started tasting like cough-syrup to me. I’m not sure what happened :(

Best raspberry flavored tea I’ve ever had.
