there are snowflakes in my tea. Dexter warned me when she sent these to me but i’m ok with them since Herbal Infusions doesn’t but this crap in all of their teas. I’M LOOKING AT YOU DELLA TERRA! bah. I figured i’d start with this tea because a) everyone seems to like it and b) it’s an earl grey, which is not generally a winner in my books.
first off – this smells wonderful! not at all like an EG. then i brewed it up and it was like OH bergamot! There you are…i thought i’d missed you :)
This is more marshamllow-y than EG like. The base is pretty nice and the bergamot is totally taking a back seat to this whole mixture. While it’s not going to win any tea of the year awards from me – it’s an EG that i can drink and enjoy :) thanks dexter!

I am glad you liked it. It is definitely a more mellowed EG than others I tried.
I also hate candies in my tea!!!!! But I’m willing to accept it if it’s really worth it and does’t create gooey weird stuff on the surface, that I just can’t stand.
I just purchased lots of teaware online from DavidsTea and they sent a bunch of samples. I hardly ever buy their teas anymore but hey, free samples, I’ll try. I had White Chocolate Frost yesterday, and the tea itself tasted pretty awesome, but the texture was so oily and when I looked at my cup, I swear there was a toxic blue nuclear waste floating all over, it ever got stuck inside the cup, I couldn’t finish it, gross!!!
i am in the minority in my hatred for david’s teas. I’ll drink them when other ppl buy them and share them but i don’t like stevia, don’t like that they don’t always list ingredients and i hate the oily film on a lot of their teas. I’ve tried their straight teas as well, and for those prices i can get insanely more delicious straights :)
Well I’m totally with you, so the minority just got less minor, lol!
I’ve been curious about this one, especially on a snowy day like today :)
Add me to that DAVIDs list, although I do still have a few that I enjoy – mostly herbals.
hahaha yay for the minority! (though i do confess i love me some lime gelato…but i’ve found others that are delicious for cheaper heh)
sprinkles freak me out :p
I was on the fence with the snowflakes in this blend but really couldn’t resist! The themed bag had a snowflake so I just needed to continue the theme :) Glad to have the feedback on this blend :D
@ Herbal Infusions – Will there be any way we could be more of it?! I am running out of this fast!
Dan – I always prefer none of that crap to any of that crap, but you don’t put it in all your blends so I didn’t mind seeing them in this one as a Christmas special sort of thing. And yours didn’t melt into a goofy clump that messed up my brew basket.
