A nice, slightly earthy tea. Smooth, and fairly strong, quick to brew (I use no milk or sugar, go for quick brews that are not too tannic).

A very nice, smooth slightly Bergamot tea. From can, very fragrent, but in a cup of brewed tea, rather light, not overpowering.
A nice flavored tea.

Preparation

Nice, medium-bodied China tea. Not too much else to say, it’s a basic tea, no extra or unusual flavors. Just a hint of tannins in a 1-minute brew, fine for unmilked/unsweetened tea as I drink it.

Good, not great earl grey. I think I like the twinigs a bit more, but nothing too much wrong with it. Maybe a bit too little actual tea flavor?

Very confused, as I bought this while in London, and it’s a rather sharp and not all that bergamont-y tea. I know I’ve bought it in the US, and that is a very nice, smooth flavored tea. Not sure how to rate this one, as there seems to be two different versions based on where you buy it. I drink all my tea black, and can’t steep it for more than about 50 seconds without it becoming way too bitter.

How interesting! I wonder if they change their recipe for the different markets.

Am adding a rating system:
95-100:
|| One of the best teas I’ve ever
|| had. Best of the best.
90-94:
|| Very very good tea, something
|| to go in the rotation of having on
|| hand regularly to enjoy.
80-89:
|| Light “wow”, something distinctive
|| about it. Prime example of a “type”
|| of good tea experience.
70-79:
|| Good tea, had something above average
|| But no “wow” factor.
60-69:
|| Okay tea, it was drinkable
|| but nothing special. Not worth
|| buying again.
50-59:
|| If Im in the right mood, maybe it’s OK
|| If I need space on the shelf, may give
|| it away.
25-49:
|| Somebody else may like it,
|| just not me.
0-24:
|| I doubt anyone would enjoy this.
|| Something I would toss before
|| drinking again.
Borrowed format and heavily modified from “Mackie”.
Thanks for the idea!
