Earl Grey Creme

This tea was the first tea from Teavana I tried, and it’s still my favorite. It’s a fragrant and relaxing tea. I very much like the vanilla notes in the earl grey but what I think makes it different is the lavender. It’s mellow but not boring. It’s still my go to tea.

Earl Grey Creme brews up a smoky, smooth cup with punchy notes of bergamot that round it out. I add creme and sugar because the blend tends to be rather potent otherwise. It’s more of a “heavy” tea experience, so it’s not something I reach for on an everyday basis. This makes a great dessert tea or as an early morning pick me up.

This tea is pretty amazing and, as the name suggests, it has a creme flavor to it. It is really good.

In a general way I am not a big fan of Teavanna’s leaves (I won’t buy their plain teas – but they seem to be very good with making flavored teas)… but the flavoring in this tea is done very well and hides the uh whatever it is about their tea leaves that seems to have a tendency to offend my tastebuds. The bergamot is very gentle and the creme flavoring does not taste very artificial. I enjoy this tea a lot… it has a light flavor and a wonderful smell… its not earth shatteringly awesome but I would give it full points for being an everyday kind of tea that is good tasting and relatively reasonably priced. I add only a small spoon of sugar.

Way too flowery for my taste. I like the vanilla though, and it is really nice with milk and sugar. In fact, it’s pretty much the only tea I’ll add them to. I’m giving it a lower rating because I don’t like it plain, and that makes me sad.

I think this is my favorite earl grey tea. I cannot taste the vanilla, but I think it might be what makes the tea different from the rest. I would not say that this tea is creamy, but it is definitely smooth. For me, this tea packs the perfect amount of leafy aroma. YuMmMmm

I tried the earl grey creme from teany, and was looking for the same tea on the net. I purchased this one from Teavana, but I was disappointed. It lacked that velvety taste that lingers after drinking it.

It’s a dessert tea, but I didn’t get that from it either.

It’s an okey earl grey tea, but not something I’m going to purchase again.

In understanding that earl gray is a tad over-rated, I’m a sucker for it. i just cant help it. It’s the bergamot, i think. really wakes me up in the morning. Then, all of a sudden i found a variation on the norm with hints of creme and Madagascar vanilla to bring out the wonderful mixture with the acid of the bergamot orange. Love it love it loveit

Smells wonderful! The creme really smooths out this tea and sets it apart from regular earl gray. Yummy!

I’ve had better earl grey cremes from the british tea store, but I thought I’ve give teavana’s a shot. It’s alright blending with some others, but by itself I feel the flavor is week.

Everything about this tea was mild for me,
Citrusy, but not tart
Creamy, but very lightly so
Vanilla, but only in the aftertaste
It was decent, but I wasn’t blown away.

I could see myself turning to this when I just want a “stock” unassuming cup of tea.

This was the first Teavana tea I ever tried. I was hooked at the first sip. I have since kept a constant supply (it’s been several years now). It’s not that great if you accidentally oversteep it, which happens to me more than I care to admit… but it’s a wonderful morning tea. It’s also great for a pick-me-up on those afternoons when you feel your energy sputtering out. It’s smooth, with the creamy bergamot mixing beautifully with the slightly fruity-ness of the blue cornflower petals.

I’m on the fence about this tea. It’s not a strong earl grey and the creme doesn’t really add what I thought it would. It’s good but not what I expected from it. I like my earl greys to be strong and this is not.

I thought this had too much bergamot, but that may just be me.

This has been my first Earl Grey experience. I was a bit put off by the fragrance at first, as it was a bit too perfumy for me, but I liked the taste. I liked it better with a little splenda in it though. Better on the second steep but I didn’t think I could get a third from it.

Overall pretty yummy but I’ll have to be in the mood for it.

I tried this for the first time today. Before now, I had only had bagged Earl Greys (namely Bigelow, Twinings, and Tazo). I was really pleased by the taste of this Earl. It’s so incredibly smooth and doesn’t need any milk: the creme flavor in the tea does the job nicely, and the vanilla is a great touch. The cornflower makes it a rather pretty sight, and it smells great. I do wish it had just a bit more bergamot flavor, though.

This is maybe my favorite ever. Need to add extra tea than is recommended (or just steep ‘til kingdom come) because it’s sometimes a tad too weak for my tastes. Good just the way it is, no milk or sugar!

My wife actually purchased this but I think it’s fantastic!! So rich and tasty…. Mmmmm

I know this tea is rated high on Steepster, but I really didn’t care for it much. I love earl grey teas, but this one just seemed to be too mellow for me. I tried steeping anywhere from 2 to 5 minutes but had no luck at all. I even tried temps from 170 – 210. The tea just had no bite for me. I think the creme flavor this tea had just turned me off.
