I thought this tea was ok. I ordered it accidently instead of a normal earl grey. oops. It was okay but I actually liked the roobois blend I had better. Next time I will order the right earl grey.

I really dislike “creme” Earl Greys. I think you’ll like Earl Grey Bravo better!

The blue color in this tea before brewing fascinates me. It is very pretty to look at. This tea is a full bodied tea with a smooth sweet flavor. It was the first tea I bought after I was pulled into the tea world by a good friend and it only confirmed my believe that I was hooked.

Received this tea from Adagio a few days ago and have enjoyed a couple brilliant cups of it. All the flavors come together nicely. Yum yum.

Earl Grey Cream/London Fog blends are pretty hit and miss for me, but this one was a hit! The vanilla flavoring is definitely present, but doesn’t overpower the bergamot. It’s a bit astringent straight, but really yummy with milk and would make a wonderful latte! I’m hanging onto the last little bit of this one.

So when I bought my Bella Luna Blue, I considered getting some Earl Grey Bella Luna to go with it. Then I realize that it came in a 4oz tin, and I honestly had no idea if I liked Earl Grey or not. I had never had it before. So, instead, I got a sample of their Earl Grey Moonlight to try.

I really didn’t know what to think going into this. It smells pretty sweet in the package. Brewed it western, 2tsp/12oz/212F/3min.

Taste is…. wow. One of the reviews on here compared this to Fruity Pebbles. That is EXACTLY what this tastes like. Fruity Pebble Black Tea. I’m getting a creamy, vanilla flavor along with some orange. However, it doesn’t really go full on creamsicle. The black tea base is there, but in balance. In general, this is a very balanced tea. The citrus plays on my tongue and gives it a crisp, biting mouthfeel, without the flavor actually being tart. I’m just gonna say it – This is mighty tasty. I don’t know if this is typical for an Earl Grey, but if it is, I’m gonna have to drink a bunch more. Make It So!

Flavors: Citrus, Cream, Fruit Punch, Smooth, Vanilla

It sounds like maybe they added vanilla for more of a London Fog vibe. It does sound tasty! I am picky about my Earl Greys, and I rarely drink them because there are so few that draw me in, but this one might.

This does sound intriguing!

I didn’t think I would like this one, as I’m usually not a fan of cream and vanilla flavored teas, but this works for me. I enjoy this one with my breakfast. It’s a warm, comforting cup.

Sample from a TTB. I actually like this much more than I expected. It’s a pretty nice EG with some lovely vanilla/cream notes. It’s less perfumey than some EGs with mostly the focus on the creamy elements. This tastes best cool with milk. I’m surprised to say it’s one of the best EGs I’ve had in recent memory! Again, there’s little bergamot, but lots of cream.

This is just a delightfully mellow blend. The black is gently tannic without being bitter – probably because I’ve backed off from my usual 3 min steeps – and neither the bergamot nor the lavender hit you until the end of each swallow.

It’s not a tea I necessarily drink for flavor, but it’s a comfortable one to sip while your mind is elsewhere.

I’m always up for trying an Earl Grey Crème, and so I pretty much had to pick this one up when I placed my last order with Adagio. Got to justify shipping, after all! I didn’t have the highest expectations, though – dry, it smells kind of harsh and really soapy.

Fortunately, it’s much better in practice. There’s a decent amount of creaminess, which is mostly what I want in an EGC, and it’s not too heavy on the bergamot which is always a bonus. I mean, you can tell it’s an Earl Grey, but it’s not obnoxious in the way some can be. The cream helps.

I’m not super-keen on the black base – I’m guessing it’s Ceylon Sonata. It’s not exactly astringent, but it’s not smooth, either. It just seems to distract from what is otherwise a pretty decent blend.

There are definitely better EGCs out there, but this one’s okay. It’s nice to have another in my cupboard, and I’ll have no trouble finishing up my sample pouch.
