Green Earl Grey

I’m liking this alright. I’m not going to say I prefer it over a black Earl Grey because I don’t, but, I do like the differences it offers. It is lighter and crisper than a typical black Earl Grey, and that’s very refreshing. I’m not loving it … but I like it alright.

Many thanks to Sonia at Revolution Tea for this sample. As you all know I do try green teas, but we never seem to hit it off. Which is why I was putting off trying this tea from Revolution Tea. But I have to admit I’m surprised! Maybe the Italian Bergamot? Maybe my palate is expanding? Whatever it is…I like it!

For some reason with the bergamot mixed with the green tea the citrus flavor is somewhat toned down. More than I have found in those EG’s made with black tea. Both the tea and flavoring go hand in hand with this tea. Which leaves me with a clean fresh finish. It also leaves me happy to have another sample to try iced!

This one is really exceptionally nice. I’d never found a tea that made Earl Grey as tasty in a green or white as in black before this one – found myself in a ridiculously overpriced café in Waterstone’s and had a cup of this. Then had to search for ages for somewhere to buy it here in Dublin! For me it’s a great green tea – not bitter at all – with just the right amount of bergamot – not overpowering but not anemic either.
