Mrs. Earl Grey

I have really been slacking on my steepstering lately and its needs to be remedied – haha! I have been drinking tea but forgetting to log it.

First off – thanks Rachel for the opportunity to try this tea and congrats on being the steepster select today!

This tea smells a little different than normal earl grey which I like because I don’t really like earl grey but I like earl grey with additional flavors. I immediately smelled cinnamon and earl grey when the water hit the tea which intrigued me.

I had this tea with a splash of milk and I really quite enjoyed it. The earl grey flavor was mild and I can’t say that I could distinctly place the cinnamon and vanilla flavorings, but I was doing other things while drinking it. I can say that there was a certain complexity to the tea that is most likely due those flavorings. Very enjoyable cup!!!

This is a beautiful cup! The price is very fair and the flavor is outstanding. Definitely the best “Lady Grey” I’ve found. In Germany they call this blend “Forest Twilight”. The bergamot is bright and juicy and the other ingredients produce a bold and adventurous flavor. This is a perfect introduction to black tea.
Black teas combined with bergamot oil, cinnamon, orange pieces, cloves, and vanilla pieces.

It does have a spicy kick, I agree! But also the familiar bergamot that Earl Grey is noted for. This is a comforting afternoon tea.

So sad that this is tea is being discontinued! Good bergamont flavor, but with some kick. Reminds me some of a chai with its spiciness. A little bit of sugar well brings out the underlying sweetness.

(I’ve been mixing this one with an Irish Breakfast tea, sacrilegious, I’m sure, but surprisingly well suited together.)
