Breakfast Earl Grey

Black Tea by Whittard of Chelsea

Earl Grey has become a defining flavor of Britain, distinguished by its fragrant taste. Traditionally an afternoon tea, our customers wanted a version strong enough for breakfast. So we created a fine blend of black tea with malty Assam, crisp Ceylon and mellow Kenyan. It is a vigorous blend with a beautiful, delicate bergamot taste.

Liberteas Thanks for this one!
It’s a goodie!
I really like that it has more than one black tea in it’s base. The blend is lovely. The Bergamot isn’t as intense as some others I have tried but it works well here. It’s also a tad lemony. And a bit creamy, even. I can also pick up on the floral notes Liberteas mentioned in the 2nd half of the sip!

Very nice!

CLOSE to being caught up with my back logs! This is a backlog from yesterday! I had a cup while chomping on some Lush Gourmet Nuts! I hope to start reviewing them on my today or tomorrow. I have LOTS going on there if you are interested!

What a lovely Earl Grey! Quite unlike others that I’ve tried. The base is a blend of teas, and this blend is very bold and distinguished, and the bergamot seems rather mellow as a result. But it has mellowed in a very enjoyable way, offering a sweet hint of juicy citrus notes throughout the sip, but, by the time I’ve reached mid-cup, the flavor begins to reveal some hints of floral tones. It’s a very unique bergamot, a very lovely Earl Grey.

Yay for Earl Grey!

Backlog:

Mondays tend to be my craziest day of the week, my husband is usually off on Mondays (sometimes he gets called in), and we seem to always be running, running, running. I don’t have the kind of time I’d like to have to enjoy a pot (several pots!) of tea, so, I usually grab a bagged tea and gulp it down before we start our running. Instead, today, I brewed some of this and poured it in a travel mug and drank it while running around. It was certainly a welcome part of the errands run. Rich and bergamot-y. I like this Earl Grey quite a bit.

This is a great EG! I had all sorts of tea plans for this morning and threw them all out the window because this one said “breakfast” – it’s breakfast OBVS. ;)

Finishing up this sample :D with a toasted tomato sandwich and leftover bunnyday chocolates. I love a good earl grey first thing.
