ok i had no idea that earl gray has a citrus scent in it. always thought its a classic black tea more like english breakfast. that’s why i made it yesterday with milk. which is not even close to how good english breakfast is with milk. but i assumed that milk was a mistake as soon as i felt the scent of tea in the air. but, i mean, it was drinkable.
so today i’m going to try it they way i should have. pure earl gray, for start without sugar or anything else.
color is nice deep red.
smells like black tea with citrus :D something i don’t think i’d be crazy about. judging on the smell.
ok this is definitely better than without milk. could have steeped it even longer. next time…
i quite like it. not the best tea i have but its a good tea. sugar or honey would prolly make it even a bit better.
by the way this tea was a gift from mum ;) i just recently ordered some quality loose one on ebay. should come in few weeks. will be interesting to compare.
rating – leaning to the smiling face but not quite there.
