Violet drank Wissotzky Earl Grey by Wissotzky Tea

I am re-visiting this one, because I was walking downstairs to make tea, hadn’t decided on what, and the smells in the air were mixing, somehow, someway, to remind me of Earl Grey. And I immediately was like, “I have to have Earl Grey!”

However, this Earl Grey has a twist to it, this time! For my 18th birthday party in April, I had a nice sized tea party, and we went all out. We also had coffee there, for my coffee loving friends (and me, since I can do coffee every once in a while) and my mother bought a lot of coffee creamers, all with a certain flavor. Well, I have been using some in my regular black teas, and they are all great.

But we have some mini Almond Joy creamers, and I put some in this Earl Grey, and OH MY GOOD GRACIOUS IT IS AMAZING!! Of course, you have to like slight almond, and lots of coconut. Best part is, even though the coconut is very strong in this cup (I’m using a teacup, so small oz size, anyway) you can still taste the Earl Grey. It’s a very sweet, smooth mix and I am really happy with it! :-)

Bio

Bio needed a change, so here it is!!
Me: 19, Jesus Freak, bookworm, tea lover, life lover. :D

My tea reviewing: I am open, honest, and way excited! I always start with the smell of the tea, first dry and then steeped. Then I head into taste, and if it seems important or nice, the color. And then finally, anything extra that needs to be said.

Tea making and drinking has become a ritual for me, a calming, wonderful thing that I love and it’s just something that makes me happy. :-) Loose leaf tea is my new heaven-sent love.

Favorite teas: Earl Grey, Chai, Fruit, yummy flavors like chocolate, anything sweet like that. Ummm….just good stuff, really. Open to trying pretty much anything, swapping, though not at the moment since my tea collection is a bit average and mostly bagged stuff. If you do want to get rid of some stuff, I’m willing to take and try, and I’ll try to give something in return.

I AM A STRONG BELIEVER IN ADDING SUGAR TO TEA! I will try it straight, but I am not afraid to add things to my tea, if they are natural and things that go well with it. I’m just as big of a tea lover as the dedicated purist is, I just don’t like tea straight, usually. Sugar brings out a lot of flavors. But hey, I’m not going to destroy my tea. :P

My ratings:

1-59: O.O NO. NEVER AGAIN. EVER!! NOOO NOO NOOO!!!!!!!!!!!! THIS IS NOT TEA THIS IS EVIL IN A CUP! (Maybe not always that harsh, but yeah.)
