Hesper June

Hesper June drank Earl Grey (loose leaf) by Twinings

Here is another tea that I have in my cupboard, drink a lot of it and never have done a tasting on.
I got six tins of this off of Amazon for 17 bucks.
I have a two tins left.
I would not go as far as to say that this tea is my favorite Earl Grey out there, but it does have the qualities I like in a Earl Grey.
A bright slightly rough Bergamot and a brisk black tea.
Overall, this is the type of tea I like waking up to.
The smell starts getting me woke up before I have even taken a sip.
At the price I got this at there is no guilt in having it every morning.
A decent EG at a decent price and it does the job of getting me going in the morning.
Can’t ask for more than that.

Just FYI, I looked this up on Amazon and since Spring, the price for a 6 pack has gone up to 25 bucks.

Profile

Bio

A Farmer’s Wife who drinks her tea to forget the din of the world.
Love all tea, from black to herbal concoctions.
Usually start my day with black tea and then move on to Oolong or Green in the afternoon, then finish the day with a tisane.
Loose Leaf teas are my preference, I say “Free the Leaves!” :)
When I am not drinking tea, I enjoy knitting, baking, reading, playing with one of our rescue animals or working along side my husband on our farm.

My rating system is rather relaxed:
50’s or under- Um, is this tea or did I get this from the slop bucket?
60’s- Not really my thing, certainly will not be purchasing again.
70’s- I will give this tea a few more tries to see if it grows on me , right now it is okay but not thrilling me.
80’s- Like this tea a lot. It might be a tea that I have to be in a certain mood for and therefore not a daily drinker, but try to have on hand for those “moods”
90’s and higher- ADORE! Will never be without!

I most always drink my tea plain.
No sweeteners or milk/cream.
