Cream of Earl Grey (organic) from DAVIDsTEA

Tina S. drank Cream of Earl Grey (organic) by DAVIDsTEA

Oh yum! This one caught me by surprise, in the best of ways. I haven’t been a big Earl drinker, but I liked the smell of this one dry, so I brewed it up this afternoon. Black it was nice, with a hint of vanilla and an undercurrent of citrus. Curious, I added a bit of sugar and bam, there was the lemon, blending in really nicely with the vanilla and tea flavours. The tea itself isn’t too overpowering, allowing the flavours to play nicely with each other without anything being too strong or hiding.

I’m definitely going to be brewing this one up again.

Bio

An avid tea addict in the GTA, Ontario, Canada. I’m always looking for new teas and new tea addicted friends!

My preference is loose leaf of all varieties, however the occasional bagged tea can come along and charm me. Flavoured or straight, there is a good chance that I will be falling in love.

My ratings system is based on the smiley faces above the ratings scale.

0-10 — This tea didn’t get past the initial sip process. I just couldn’t bring myself to drink more, I found it so horrible.

11-50 — It made it past first sips, but as I drank a bit more I realized I really wasn’t enjoying the tea, and would never drink it again.

51-60 — I probably made it through the cup, but won’t be trying another one.

61-69 — Either it’s a mystery tea and I can’t decide if I like it or not, or it is one that I felt was purely adequate.

70-85 — These are the teas that I appreciate and/or like. If they are falling in this area they are ones that I would definitely re-buy, however are not ones that I must always have on hand. The good, but not the amazing.

86-94 — These are the favourites. My cupboard feels empty if they aren’t inside.

95-100 — Tea perfection!
