Earl Grey Creme

in a teamaker as per usual. I bought a pound of this on Sunday. Needed to refill my stash. I was very happy this morning.

A strong, and yes a little creamy earl grey.
I do not steep it long as I use no milk or sugar to cut it.

I remember liking this tea years ago, so when a bag popped up in a recent tea box, I was happy for the chance to try it again. This really is one of the better EG cremes I’ve tried. The flavoring is interesting and tasty. You get a little bergamot, but also the nice creme and some other flavor notes happening. I’m not sure I would really be able to tell this is EG without the label, but the flavors certainly combine pleasantly. The whole thing ends of pretty light, mostly just tasting like the fake creme flavor, but I like it.

Such a nice treat for a Saturday morning. I’m really surprised I never tried this one when Teavana was open. If I did, I never left a note about it here. It’s a fluffy marshmallow bergamot delight.

Well, I got more of this and I’m sitting here having another mug of this. It’s as good as I remember.

The richness of the cream flavor with the floral of the bergamot, all blended together with just the right amount of black tea. This is still the best bagged Earl Grey I’ve found. Just so so good and with a touch of splenda it’s the perfect nighttime quick cuppa.

Very solid tea from Teavana, used to be one of my favorites before I found out they used a lot of artificial flavors. Aside from fruity teas, heavily caffeinated teas tend to be my favorites so this fit the bill nicely in that department. I love the sweetness and creaminess compared to most other black teas, which are often a little too bitter for my liking. I generally feel no need to add cream or sugar to this tea, though, unless I mix it with the Honeybush Vanilla (also from Teavana). I would only ever mix it with a milder tea that has mostly honey or vanilla flavors, otherwise the Earl Grey Creme would overpower it. Not recommending because it’s no longer available.

Terrible. The lavender is so overpowering it made me feel nausea, wouldn’t reccomend.

Found these pyramid sachets at Walmart, to my surprise. It’s Earl Grey, so nothing mind-blowing, but there is a light root beer note to this that is kind of interesting.

This is the first and only “creme” earl grey that I’ve tried. I’m not sure what exactly gives it that creamy taste (vanilla?), but it’s certainly there when compared to the regular earl greys I’ve had. I find that this is a gentler flavor for first thing in the morning whereas regular earl grey can feel a bit too acidic. There’s a definite floral note, but it’s not overpowering. And the amount of bergamot was just right for my taste.

I noticed a number of other reviewers noted that this tea is best as a “mixer” with other teas. My earl grey palate must be unrefined because I think it’s good the way it is, but I do see that it could be complimented nicely by a tea with stronger vanilla notes.

Earl Grey with a creamy twist. The vanilla notes are strong, possibly stronger than the bergamot notes. But if you’re looking to make a London Fog (Earl Grey Tea Latte), this is a great tea to use.
