I couldn’t wait – I had to rip into my bag as soon as it came this morning! eee!
It smells very lovely, nice and strong earl with a hint of something else… could it be cheesecake? ;)
Oh it tastes wonderful! It’s like an Earl Grey creme but with cheesecake notes instead of vanilla! I added a bit of cream and sugar after the first few sips, because that’s how I like my Earls, and mm it does not disappoint.
I am getting a creamy, slightly tangy cheesecake taste that gets stronger and stronger as the tea cools down. I know as the tea ages a bit it will intensify even more, so I’m looking forward to that!
As far as the Earl base goes – it’s nice and strong, not for the faint of bergamot heart, and a bit floral. I like that :)
Blog review in the future!
The cheesecake element in my 2 year old bag seems to be a lot stronger than that in the newer batch, so I think it does get better and better with age!
