2 Tasting Notes
I highly recommend this tea. It looks beautiful and delicate as rose petals and corn flowers were added to the tea, it looks inviting that make you can’t wait to take a sip. The bergamot taste is appropriate, not too strong and not too mild, but it is definitely there, which IMO makes it a good cup of earl grey. The rose petals add a special flowery smell to the tea, and you can actually taste it. The taste of the tea is like no other. I took the first sip and immediately ordered two more from their website. I gave one of them to my boss who is also an earl grey lover. This tea is also great as a gift :)
Preparation
This French earl gray by TWG is quite a disappointment. It is still a nice cup of tea. However, the aroma and scent of bergamot is very mild that it doesn’t qualified to be a nice cup of earl grey. Plus it is kind of expensive. So anyone who is looking for earl grey with a more than mild taste of bergamot, this shouldn’t be the choice.
Hi there. I am new to the tastes of different teas. Honestly, I thought that TWG’s French Earl Grey was/is fabulous. You are obviously a connoisseur, can you recommend your choices of great Earl Greys and where i could get them please? You assistance would be most appreciated. Thanks much
Hi. I think the tea is still a nice cup of tea, but it doesn’t lift up to my expectations of a good cup of earl grey. My recommendation would be the earl grey by Revolution. Added with lavender the taste is amazing. Also the earl grey by Teapigs. Like the TWG one corn flowers are added, but it is so much cheaper, and the bergamot taste is actually there, lingering. Lastly, the earl grey by The Lawn Tea is also awesome. They add rose petals and corn flowers, though the bergamot taste isn’t super strong, it is stronger than that of TWG, and it looks as beautiful as it tastes :)
