A classic twist on Earl Grey black tea, Beatles Blend black tea hearkens back to the roots of the Beatles’ homeland. We start with traditional Earl Grey, and then add in a rich, malty tea from China, reminiscent of an English Breakfast tea. We balance the blend with an Indian tea that speaks to the Beatles’ avid fascination with and travels to India. Finally, we top it off with a twist of jasmine culminating in a blend destined to become a star.
I’ve had this a few times, but after checking, I see that I’ve never logged my tasting notes!
This is a very strong blend – very bold and invigorating. I like the blend – it is like Earl Grey but it isn’t as Earl Grey as a typical Earl Grey. That is to say that rather than the bergamot being the bold flavor in the cup, here the boldness comes from the tea, and the bergamot becomes an accompaniment rather than a feature player.
Lots of flavor, very brisk. I like it.
This one has been on my TO BUY List for a while and LiberTEAS was her usual AWESOME self and sent me a nice sampler tin of it! Thanks so much, Sista!!!!
This is the perfect dark brown color once infused. It reminds me of an English Breakfast meets Earl Grey minus the obnoxious Bergamot meets jasmine meets pine type smell.
This is a bold yet well-rounded black tea with a semi-sweet finish. I really like this…very flavorful!
Ooh, this smells nice. It’s an Earl Grey, but there’s something distinctly floral in the aroma. Jasmine, I think. (The official description concurs – jasmine). It seems to go well with the bergamot though. It’s a bit strong to drink plain, but there’s also a lingering sweetness – from the jasmine and the Chinese black, I would guess. Adding milk made this taste more like a traditional EG to me; I can still smell the jasmine, and it dominates the aftertaste, but it tastes like bergamot and black tea.
I would drink this in the morning, when I want a slightly sweet kick to start the day.
Thank you to LiberTEAS and TeaEqualsBliss! This is from a prize I won over at their SororiTEA Sisters’ blog!

When I opened this tea (I bought a loose bag from Mighty Leaf which I was surprised had a tea scoop included for the perfect amount) and smelled it, I was super excited, it smells FANTASTIC!
The taste however, is not as intriguing, it is a strong tea with a powerful combo of black and green tea, then a hint of jasmine and spice. I enjoyed it hot with nothing added. I will try it with variations and update. Definitely worth trying. Enjoy!
This tea is like a punch in the face in the morning; it’s so strong. A little milk and honey helps to soften the blow, though :)
