Chinese black teas, stirred with pieces of dried stone fruit, then finished with oil of bergamot and honey flavour. This blend is reminiscent of Elizabethan preserves, flavourful and tempting.
This is yummy. The bergamot shines through and the honey adds a bit of flavor. I had it just like I have my EG’s with a bit of milk and honey. Really great breakfast tea. Those who love EG will probably love this.
Picked this up on my first official visit to the Harney & Sons Soho store. I told the salesperson that two of my favorites were Paris and Winter Earl Grey, and this was her recommendation. She said that instead of the vanilla hints found in Paris, this one had honey. One whiff of the canister, and I knew this would be right up my alley! Its a tough call whether I prefer this or the Paris, but both are simply lovely black teas with a little something sweet, and I can detect the berry tinge that some of the other tasters were commenting on. Mellow, full-bodied and wonderful anytime!!
Forgive my uneducated palate but this smells and tastes to me of a lightly fruity (plum?) flavoured Rooibos ?! At least on the first steep .. I then gave it a second long steep and added a teaspoon of raw sugar which seemed to bring out more of the vanilla flavour that others have described .. It’s quite nice, ‘smooth’, and certainly doesn’t need milk or sugar etc, but it kind of left me wanting more ..
I think I need another cup (or two) to give it a fair rating, and that said I really do want to like it because I covet that tin! But right now I’m kind of on the fence – wouldn’t turn a cup down, but I don’t know that I’ll purchase ..
This tea is so much more than the tin says! It says Chinese Black Tea with honey flavor, but the fine print says there is stone fruit and bergamot as well. This is delicious with NO milk and No sugar! So glad I got this one. The bergamot is mild and lovely, having none of the synthetic aroma that scalds your nose. If you like sugar in your tea (and I usually do) this would still be a delightful tea. I am thinking it would be great iced as well.
Steeping from the sachet form of Tower of London. The aroma is lovely with stronger vanilla and honey notes and lesser fruity notes of cherry and apricot. For me the taste starts with the rich vanilla and honey, then the earl grey layer kicks in, and finally finishing with the stone fruits in a medium body black tea. After a sip or two I added a little bit of raw sugar and found that it enhanced the stone fruit notes. I may try it with a splash of milk next time. I seldom use milk but I am branching out!
I am not a huge fan of hightly flavored tea, but this one is good occasionally. Its honey flavor is prominent, and somehow the bouquet makes me think of fruitcake. Darkly sweet, fruity, texture is a bit heavy.
We don’t drink flavored teas at all, but I love to mix this one in with other teas. Our favorite is to mix with Supreme Breakfast, but it also mixes nicely with assam teas. Unfortunately we discovered that ants love this tea!! I left some in my Breville overnight which was a big mistake. Didn’t do that again, but they even found the tin of sachets we had too. They smelled it right through the tin! So now it is double packaged – tin of loose tea inside a plastic container. The sachets had ants in them so had to go.
Delicious Earl Grey with a honey/caramel and dried fruit bouquet. And comes in a beautiful tin.
Tossing between this and H&S Earl Grey as my second favourite.
It’s the perfect sweet start to any day.
First steeping was for 3:45 with boiling water, added milk. Smell is lovely consisting of vanilla notes and some fruity spice, taste was rather bland consisting mostly of a weak black base.
Second steeping was for 5 with boiling water, added milk. Less notes, no improvement in taste.
I was happy to discover that the smell of this tea (dry) is much stronger than how it actually tastes and that it has a nice aromatic balance. Other folks have described the tea quite well, with smooth bergamot undertones, and long lingering vanilla overtones at the end. I don’t taste much other fruit on it. I am usually vanilla-averse but this one is pleasant.
Another smooth tea that is lightly flavored. Reminiscent of Lady Grey, but not as full flavored. I prefer the stronger favors in my black tea.
Super tasty! The fruity flavours are very present, but without killing the black tea flavour as well.
My love for this tea is ridiculous. It’s a rich, warm black for me, and the honey in it comes out deep. I love this with a little milk.
