Russian Earl Grey from Granville Island Tea Co
66

The Russian Earl Grey that I’m noting here is not specifically the Granville Island offering, but the one I’m drinking isn’t here on this site yet. One day, ohhh one day!


This tea is really really refreshing. The lemon & lime fills your nasal passage like vaporub so I could imagine it being a perfect morning tea when you’ve got the common cold.

Also, the citrus qualities in the tea act as a pallet cleanser like a lemon sorbet between dinner courses, so I find it to be most enjoyable in the evening after dinner, so you don’t go to sleep with that steak flavor still in your teeth.

Postives being said, it would be better to have other teas to choose from in the day because that lemon lime lemon lemon lemon lime lime lime lemon tea can get pretty easy to grow tired of.

I must add this about this Russian Earl Grey. Editing the whole review is too time-consuming so a simple comment will do:

Desperate for a change in flavors in my tea cupboard, I went with my Russian Earl Grey that’s been sitting there for weeks. But check it:

I discovered (maybe obvious) that adding a drip of milk to a long-steeped cup of ze Russian really cuts the citrus flavors, altering it to be delicious soft undertones of lemon and lime in a cup. Very good, and I’ll go for another cup today at 3.

Bio

I’m a 26yr old boy that lives and loves in New Westminster, Canada.
I’ve just been hired to distribute tea for a new and noble tearoom in New Westminster. I’m a “new kid on the block” in the tea business and signed on to this website to learn more and more and more about the beverage.

I may critique tearooms like an ass.
I may speak ignorantly of the tastes of certain teas.

Regardless, I’m here to learn from everybody else in this online community about a tradition, beverage and culture that has been in my life since childhood.

My dad’s from the UK so my family all has Orange Pekoe flowing though our veins!
