Our Baroness Grey tea has excellent Earl Grey notes accented with piquant lemon. Lively and full flavored lemon peel, rose and cornflower petals add citrus and floral notes.
At first sip maybe a little too strong, I will have to decrease the steep time next time, and maybe have the water be below boiling.
It’s a pretty powerful Earl Grey, it reminds me of Russian Earl Grey, only more floral. Very citrus, I can still taste the bergamot but I can also taste lemon and I think orange rind. It is a good blend.
Strongly citrus aroma. I think I’m beginning to get a general sense of CT’s stuff now—the flavors are nice, but what I’m finding disappointing is the black tea base they tend to use in everything. It’s not terrible but it’s not flavorful or smooth enough in its own right, and the authentic but light flavors they build over it are usually not quite enough compensation to push any given tea of theirs into the “would definitely buy again” zone.
I do appreciate the way the floral notes come in later in the swallow, after the citrus, and linger.
One of my favorites of all time
