What other ORGANIC Earl Grey & EG Cream teas are your favorites?

It appears the The Persimmon Tree has recently discontinued their Earl Grey Creme http://steepster.com/teas/the-persimmon-tree/17384-earl-grey-creme and replaced it with Earl Grey Heaven – http://www.persimmontreetea.com/earl-grey-heaven-tea.html

Ingredients
“Organic and Biodynamic Black Loose-Leaf Tea, Organic Cornflowers, Organic Oil of Bergamot, Natural Flavors, Earl Grey Heaven Black Tea”

The newly added ingredients to the Heaven version appear to be Biodynamic Black Loose-Leaf Tea & Organic Cornflowers.

Also, see the new Earl Grey Heaven Steepster Tasting Note page:

Has anyone tried Earl Grey Heaven yet?

I’ve been busy tasting EG & EG Cream (EGC) teas. Below are links to my tasting notes for other EG lovers who may be interested:

Not sure if it’s been mentioned yet (feeling too lazy to rummage cough) but I positively love Organic Cream of Earl Grey from DavidsTea. This is coming from a person who is more often than not disappointed in their teas. (I’ve tried around a dozen or so different teas, and this is the only one I’ve re-purchased)

It’s also very inexpensive, and not a seasonal tea so you can buy it anytime! :)

Has anyone tried Alvin’s Persian Choice Royal Earl Grey?

My current favorite Earl Grey has got to be Teajo Tea’s Silky Earl Grey.
I love the richness of Assam.
Teavana’s Earl Grey Creme tastes too weird and artificial…bleh (and to think their stuff contains pesticides even though their sales reps spout otherwise)

We just released our Earl Grey de la Creme and we are having fantastic reviews locally. Check it out :)

I’m not a huge fan of EG, but I absolutely adore Grace! Earl Grey Black Tea with Bergamot. It’s a nice medium body with just enough bergamot to give it a lovely scent and tangy aftertaste. Alas, the company is based in London and I can’t find the tea for sale online. I get mine from the local Russian supermarket. Worth the trip if there’s one in your neighborhood.

I started drinking my Grandma’s Twinings Earl Grey as toddler. She would brew one and a half cups of tea and would drink one cup and throw out the rest and I would have a couple of mouthfuls when I was visiting. Twinings EG was my favourite tea for years until I started drinking it black. After trying different brands, my favourite now is an Australian brand called Madame Flavour. It has a really earthy taste and aroma from the lemon myrtle and a good strong, but not overpowering, bergamot.

We don’t seem to get Earl Grey cream teas in Oz – is it like an EG with vanilla?

I can also recommend Mariage Freres Earl Greys especially the “Provence”, Fortnum & Mason Green Earl Grey (probably the best F&M tea), and T2’s Pu-erh Earl Grey.
