French Earl Grey from iTea
95

What drew me to this tea was how pretty it looked. The vibrant red of the rose petals, the blue of the cornflower. I had tried a few different French Earl Grey teas around that left me wanting, their taste and aroma nothing special. This tea was an exception, the beautiful bergamot aroma and the look of the tea meant I couldn’t wait to take my first sip and I wasn’t disappointed. A truly beautiful tea!

Lapsang Souchong from iTea

I’m sorry to say that I thought I had already posted about this one, so when I used the last of the leaves this morning to make a cup for me and my better half, I was not paying too much attention to what I was drinking. This is particularly bad because this is one that Ssajami shared with me, and I’m not happy that I can’t write a proper post about it.

So since I can’t give a detailed review of it, I can at least say that there was nothing about it that surprised me. No unusual flavours that made it particularly good or ruined the LS experience.

It was just a nice, smoky tea which made for a very pleasant morning cup. Nothing out of the ordinary when it comes to LS’s but it seemed a good representation fo LS as a type. Very nice.

(I promise to pay more attention in the future)
