Earl Grey (loose leaf)

I have had many cups of tea in the past month or so that I have forgotten to log. Pardon me! To avoid getting things too exciting as I ease back into the world of tea logging, I have prepared a cup of a Twinings Earl Grey, a pleasant tea, but not one very likely to overstimulate.

One of my favorite teas! Its a unique, but great aroma and the bergamot is a really great flavor in the tea!

Tried steeping one yesterday with a dash of milk (I know. Hehe :) and a bit of muscovado. Works well, and the bergamot hint is nice, almost bordering on a wee bit much. A mostly lovely cup.

I am not normally an Earl Grey fan, but this version was nice. The bergamot was clean and refreshing and the black tea base robust without being overwhelming.

Not my favourite Earl Grey. It’s a decent, but there’s much better blends out there. This one has a little bit too much of a strong, one-note bergamot flavour that overwhelms the tea.

So refreshing! One of my favorites for afternoon tea with cake.

Easy to find, reasonably cheap, and highly refreshing.
The basic no-brainer tea for my afternoons and evenings – my default choice, for better or for worse.

My favorite Earl Grey. I have a can in the office, with my own teapot, to enjoy it whenever I like!

an old favourite.

My favorite!

I have had much better Earl Grey (Harney & Son’s). This tea just doesn’t do it for me

Ol’ faithful.

The prefect cup of tea in morning when you need gently poke to wake up.
Rich, dark and with a touch of citrus.
Perfect when made with Scottish spring water with a dash of milk, though work just as well served black.
This is my favourite everyday black tea.

Though I did find the UK Twinning Earl Grey is a bit stronger than Twinning’s European brand.

A old stable, like a trusted friend, is always their for you.

A good lunch tea.

the only black tea they have at work..

a classic

What can I say? It’s classic, and quite frankly, perfect.

I probably oversteeped this a bit, but it very sexy nonetheless.

I like mine really strong, two teaspoons in a mug, steep for just over two minutes, served with milk.
