The Earl's Garden

Oh my god, this is basically my favourite tea ever! Its an earl grey, but with the added bonus of strawberry pieces and flavouring, which just add an amazing fruity sweetness! So wonderful! And I’m not even all that big on fruity teas!

I never would have chosen this one on my own, but my girlfriend smelled the tin in store on a whim and we picked up 25g to try it. I am so surprised that I love it! I am a huge earl grey fan but I didn’t think I’d like it as a fruity tea. It is less overwhelmingly strawberry flavoured than I was expecting..I get a deeper, richer fruit flavour..black currant maybe? I’m not certain but it sure is darn tasty.

gotta. wake. up. love this tea because it wakes me up like any Black tea would, but in a much nicer way thanks to all the fruit!

I wanted to love this one. Like, if I was on a desert island this is the tea I’d take love it. Like, I vow to take this tea above all others for the rest of my days. And in theory, I should’ve. I’m an earl grey fan. And I like berries. And I’d previously tried and liked both Davids earl greys and berry teas. And this one smells truly amazing in the wall tin/bag. Just stunning. But see, I’ve gone through my 50g bag I actually bought in person in a shop, and I’m always left wanting. There has been a bitter aftertaste with every mouthful of this tea I’ve tried, and I’ve varied the temperature and steep time, changed the level of sugar/agave I’ve added (yes, tried to get both to work), and nothing. Well, nothing a amazing as this tea smells (dry and steeped). It’s mightily puzzling and disappointing. Will just have to stick with my other earl grey faves, Cream of EG and Countess of Seville.

this tea is ridiculous. i love sweet/fruity teas, plus back currant is one of my all-time favourite flavours. the berry smell of the dry tea is so strong and lovely, it really wakes you up in the morning. i find to get the best flavour, a 5min steep in boiling water and then cooling until it’s almost not warm enough does the trick. haven’t tried it iced, but i’m sure it would be amazing. the best summertime tea (but it brightens up these cold autumn days too!)

First impressions – I sent some of this tea to my best friend while she was studying in Ireland. When she got the package, she thought I had sent her gummy bears, as that was the sent permeating the wrapping! And I must say, when I open the bag, I do smell those overly sweetened confections. Steeped, though, it smells like Earl Grey with a little something extra.

Flavor – I really like it. It’s simultaneously a subtler and revamped Earl’s Grey. A little lesss bergamot, and a nice berry finish. As with all black teas, I drink this with milk, and it actually works.

Lovability – I can go a month without drinking this tea, yet, when I do, it’s a love affair for at least a week. Then, it drops off my radar again. Amazing? No. Simply all-around good tea that fails to disappoint? Yes.

Made two pots and a cup of this at work today. Every time I drink it, it’s just what I want. Nice and dark, smooth with that taste of fruit. Resteeps surprisingly well, but the flavour of the berries gets washed out by the third go.

Good hot, but WONDERFUL as an iced tea. A little fruitier than I normally like, but still a great Grey.

I really enjoyed this take on Earl Grey. It’s really fruity but has the taste of bergamot and Earl Grey that you love! I don’t usually love black teas, but this has to be one of my favourites.

I usually hate Earl Grey teas, but this one turned me around a bit by having a decent amount of other flavor going on. I don’t love it when it’s steeped alone, but with a fair amount of hot milk, it tones down how perfume-y the tea can be.

This tea was kind of disappointing. I got it as a gift, and it sounds like it would be a great tea, but on first sniff it smelled strongly of berry bubblegum. Fruity to the max, but in an artificial kind of way. Once steeped, the flavour is very similar to the scent. The bubblegum is slightly toned down, but it’s still not the true berry flavour I would have liked.

I had a friend over who quite liked this tea, and the friend who gifted it to me loved it, too, so I think I’m the only one who’s getting this artificial kind of bubblegum note.

I’m not the one for fruity teas but I really enjoyed this one.

It smells very strongly of fruit and there’s definitely a high citrus note in there. The fruit smell is quite pungent to a point where it overpowers the bergamot of the earl grey.

When I steeped it, it retained a lot of it’s fruity qualities but it’s not nearly as intense as Bear Trap. It’s more than just a hint of fruitiness. I adore earl grey but this tea isn’t as strong as the ones I usually drink. Regardless, I was still surprised how much I liked this tea.

I usually drink this with some honey.

Ok, I don’t know if any one has tried this yet, but this is AMAZING if you make it into a London fog. Seriously. After the 7 ( yes actually ) months of winter here, I needed something warm to remind me of what spring and summer were like. So I had this. Warm, milky, comforting like an ear grey should be, but with the lovely flavour of strawberry. Yumm!

I really enjoy this tea but man can it not be over steeped. I really have to be careful to keep this on the lower end of the time scale (and lower then the recommend) before it becomes too much! I have not tried it with more then two steeps but so far so good. Not sure if it is a must buy again though.

My breakthrough with this tea happened when I discovered 1 teaspoon is definitely not enough for 8 oz, no matter what the brewing instructions recommend. When I did follow instructions, I was left with a tea that had very little taste and a mild aroma.

Adding that extra 1/2 tsp made a huge difference. At that strength, there’s a pleasant body to the tea, and the taste of strawberries and currants is more obvious. I actually like Earl’s Garden better than the last strawberry tea I tried, though the bergamot unmistakably present. The brew does have an edge of bitterness to it, but I think it’s more like that actual odd tang of bitter you sometimes get off a strawberry’s skin, so it doesn’t bother me as much as it usually would. A nice twist on earl grey.

Thanks to dr.marnish@yahoo.com for his wonderful work, My girlfriend left a week before our vacation to be with another man. I was desperate to get her back when I found dr.marnish. I tried 5 other people to do a spell to get her back and nothing worked. I was still alone. Then I found dr.marnish by accident. I don’t know how I found him, I don’t remember. But, when I first saw the good testimonies about his wonderful work and after reading the Testimonies, I decided I had to try and give it one last shot. After my spells, I got a text from my lover. And we started going back and forth by text, she asked to meet the next day. So we did, and that night we ended up sleeping together, and about a few days after we got back together. anyone who needs help, should email dr.marnish. He is the best.

This was another surprisingly delicious tea! Very floral, and quite good. The first couple cups I had I added sugar, but I found as I adjusted I no longer needed any additives. Quite good!

I love this tea. This was my first tea from David’s Tea. Everyone I have shared it with loves it as well. It is a nice fruity twist on your basic Earl Grey.

Definitely one to keep stocked!

not a huge fan, it’s a descent tea but not my favourite. It is a flavoured earl grey tea, fruity and berry-y . me personal dont enjoy earl grey typically and this didnt change my mind.

Nice but not my cup of tea.
