Cream of Earl Grey (organic)

Fantastic, but one thing – don’t steep it too long! I love Earl Grey and I love vanilla, so the first time I walked into a David’s Tea and they asked what kind I liked, my response? Earl Grey (It was really the only tea I drank until now) and when she showed me one with vanilla, I was in love. It took about 3 trips to David’s Tea for just a cup of the tea before I decided to buy a tin and some supplies :P It smells like black licorice, which I love, but the taste is like a rich, almost bitter (but not in a bad way) with a hint of vanilla. But be careful not to steep it too long, I left it for about 10-15 mins once by mistake and it was way too strong, bitter and sour and tasted exactly like a gross black licorice.. bleh! But otherwise, an excellent tea (:

at the beginning a little bit too buttery for my taste. but once you start drinking it regularly, you get addicted to i.

One of my favourite teas. It goes great with a bit of milk. I feel like it enhances the vanilla. Could drink this all day, every day.

Strong round flavour. Highly astringent qualities. Vanilla flavour not really allowed to come through. Peppery taste on the finish. Floral aftertaste.

Every time I step into Starbucks or Second Cup, I tell myself to get something different than my usual… but by the time I get to the front of the line, “grande London Fog please” comes out of my mouth.
Because I consider these drinks “luxury spending” now, I am happy to have found Cream of Earl Grey as a simple replacement.

In the mornings, I make one cup following all the brewing instructions. I add a bit of milk, sometimes brown sugar or a spoonful of condensed milk depending on my mood, and voila, a perfectly satisfying taste of creamy earl grey goodness with enough caffeine to last me through the morning.

This tea took me a while to get used to. The cream taste was stronger than I imagined it would be. I make it with 1 tsp for a large mug and add milk.

not a huge fan of earl grey’s but i do love vanilla black teas and citrus, so this one makes sense.
smells nice – a light hint of vanilla and that classic earl grey taste.
probably would be good with some sugar and milk, might break boyfriend of his ‘i only drink earl grey’ habit

First, the black tea and citrus. Then… vanilla BOOM! Such a full flavour, tried this straight, gonna add some milk next time just for fun. This was in my David’s advent calendar, I think I’ll pick some up on my way to work tonight (oh the joys of working down the street from a David’s store! My wallet is crying). This tea is nice and creamy, maybe even one of my favourites from David’s so far! Makes me feel sophisticated having this in the morning.
Edit: Unpleasant aftertaste on the second steep! This may be a one-steep tea for me.

Before I tried the actual earl grey, I got 50g of this one!
And it is good with a bit of soy & stevia.

It’s more soothing I’d say, than their straight earl grey tea – which is stronger and more pungent. It’s really good for winding down after a hard day (if you’re not sensitive to a bit of caffeine, that is)

Wanted desperately to like this… but couldn’t. The smell promised of comfort and substance, but the taste seemed over-bitter and diluted. Perhaps on another day, sans the takeout cup.

i love this tea- really great scent. I am currently drinking it as a ice tea- with honey. Its a great summer tea.

Yum yum yum yum yum!!! Anyone who likes London Fogs needs to buy this tea! Making it hot in a cup and adding a bit of milk is freaking amazing however steeping it in steamed milk and making a london fog is absolutely to die for! The best part is because there is vanilla in the tea you don’t need to add the sugary vanilla syrup!

I have this tea almost every morning. This is the tea that got me into loose tea, and I am never turning back!

Definitely the ‘go to’ tea for afternoon teatime or after dinner r & r!
delicious rich pleasure in a cup to linger over…
sooo, grab that book you’ve been dreaming of reading and cozy into your fave chair ~

Way back when, I used to be able to buy flavoured Parisian teas like Hediard and Fauchon on a regular basis. Then I moved to a country where they are all but unavailable, and slowly my standards for a fine Earl Grey-type tea started to drop (I was drinking Twinings from the grocery store). Then I happened to find Cream of Earl Grey while I was in Montreal and oh, everything changed. Take note, tea suppliers: using high-quality leaves (not just fannings) really does make a difference. I’m not a huge fan of vanilla in general but it really enhances the flavour of the bergamot in this tea. I can’t get enough of it, and it’s what converted me to DAVIDsTEA.

As a London Fog addict, I easily fell in love with this tea. I loved the hint of vanilla that took away much of the bitterness of traditional plain Earl Grey tea. I have yet to try it in steamed milk, but am looking forward to the experience. Great fast alternative to my usual London Fog

This tea is my most favourite afternoon cuppa! As a Brit and a bit of a tea snob, I have to say this tea just hits a home run every time. Flavourful, full bodied, soft and smooth and a real pick me up mid afternoon. Love it!

Once I took a sniff of this tea I knew I had to try it! As a lover of Earl Grey tea the little addition of vanilla into the mix makes it divine! Captain Pickard would be happy! “Earl Grey hot”.

Favorite Tea of the month, great accompaniment to anything sweet.

This is the tea that made me realise that I like tea. The first and always the best. When my head was pounding and I barely knew my own name, this is the tea that I summoned up from my brain when my wife asked if I wanted a cuppa. The Earl Grey is earthy and rich, with the vanilla adding just that touch of sweetness that keeps it from being bitter. In fact, I think I am going for another resteep. I drink it black, steep for about three minutes.
