Cream of Earl Grey (organic)

This is my favourite earl grey cream so far! I prefer this to Teavana’s earl grey creme, which almost tastes like regular earl grey to me (at least when compared to this one). I recently ordered some earl grey creme from another place, so I’ll see how it compares.

I got this in my little sample pack and thought “oh… too bad, I don’t like Earl Grey”… I left it for weeks and weeks sure that I would not like it. Well let me tell you I was so wrong. I loved it. It is creamy and sweet with a tiny bit of vanilla coming through. It is so good that I will be adding it to my permanent collection.

Heavenly. Earl Grey and vanilla, two of my favourite things. Tastes like a London Fog, which is great, because lazybones me can’t be bothered to faff about in my kitchen, attempting to steam milk properly. Typically, I am a rebel, and I let my tea steep indefinitely, but this is one that will go rather bitter if left sitting too long. Still. Whoever created this deserves all the awards.

made me love earl grey tea after hating it for so long, that speaks for itself.

Stacey: This is certainly not your typical cup of Earl Grey but it’s not too wacky either. DAVIDsTEA doesn’t throw intense flavours at you; just subtle hints of vanilla; that changes it up a bit. If you’re a fan of London Fogs, this is the tea for you (with less of a sugary base, of course). Mmm! A solid tea and a good staple to have in our cupboards. I give it 8/10 because it’s the best Earl Grey I think I’ve ever tasted.

Brooke: This is a good morning tea; it starts you off on the right foot, creamy and smooth. No milk needed, no sugar needed. Reminds me of my Aunt-tea (get it?). Yep, I’m okay with us buying a batch of this for the cupboard [Stacey: I’m okay with that too, we need some regulars in here]. I know I keep giving this out, but another solid 8.5/10.

My roommate and I reviewed Cream of Earl Grey on our tea blog: http://teaconnoisseurs.wordpress.com/2012/12/04/cream-of-earl-grey/?preview=true

For an earl grey (which I generally can’t stand) this is drinkable. If I’d had some vanilla I would have turned it into a London Fog, but I didn’t, so I drank half a cup and poured the rest away. I think one day I’ll be grown up enough to like earl grey, but not yet, maybe it’ll be around the same time I’ll suddenly start drinking sherry.

Tea #5 of 24. I’m not enjoying this as much as I though I would. The smell while brewing was great but for me the taste just doesn’t stand up to the smell. Maybe I’m just not an Earl Grey fan. It’s drinkable but I wouldn’t go back for more.

SMELLS LIKE FRUIT LOOPS! This is like a far better version of their original Earl Grey, which is far too bitter. I can definitely taste the vanilla in this.

I haven’t had this particular tea in months though from my memory, I can say that I really did enjoy this tea. The bergamot flavour was strong the tea was definitely creamy just like the name :)
