Smoky English Breakfast Tea

Used up the rest of my Earl Grey Supreme and made up the difference with Viennese Earl Grey. Very intense in the first cup this morning, yet surprisingly smooth. Working a resteep now, 8 hours later and its still Earl Grey, still smooth, and still good.

Resteep and cloudy mystery solved. The resteep is of this mornings leaves (as reported below). The bergamot is gone (no surpise there), but its still a good cuppa good tea. Brewed with good color, even less astringent, very light flavor and not cloudy.
I realized, as I was resteeping, that the cloudiness was due to the fact that I made a mocha (instant hot chocolate made with coffee) in my mug yesterday and didn’t wash it out…a little extra flavor and who knows what else….

Blended Adagio’s Ceylon Sonata with their Peppermint. Not too bad. You don’t need that much peppermint to pair with it tho. Worth a try anyhow.

Adagio’s Earl Grey Bravo (Pale – previously steeped several times) paired with a already steeped Valentine’s…just for shits and giggles…and ICED. It sounds strange but it was actually quite good.

Se Chung Special Oolong paired with Moroccan Mint from Republic of Tea – steeped APPROX 3 mins. Not Bad…might try more Mint next time tho…

Same as before…running low

Equal parts Infusion Tea Plum Oolong (Resteep – weak) and Teavana Earl Grey. You can taste the Earl Grey with hints of oolong and plum. It blends nicely.
