This may very well have been one of the best bring-to-work choices I’ve made in a really long time. I was a bit hesitant, because I typically bring flavoured teas to work, and although EGC is probably technically considered flavoured, it doesn’t necessarily feel that way, but I took my chances.
So so much lovely vanilla in my cup, followed up by a perfectly smooth hint of bergamot. It almost feels as though the bergamot is even more muted in my timolino than it is in a typical cup, and I’m not sure why that is-perhaps because tea doesn’t steep nearly as thoroughly in the timolino? Either way, great, great decision. But now my stomach feels a bit off (unrelated to the tea) but I’m also hungry. What an odd combination of sensations.

I find that I can’t smell it when its in a timolino, so it loses some of the flavour that way. My solution is to brew 2 timo’s at once (to save time), and then just pour 6 oz at a time into a cup for my sipping pleasure. Then I’m good for 2 hours or so!
It’s funny but I don’t count EG as flavoured either, for some reason. Maybe because it’s just a staple as far as teas go? People who don’t drink tea know about EG. But I keep my EG’s with my unflavoured blacks.

Ha-so it isn’t only me! Yeah, perhaps it’s because it’s more commonly known, and is also a staple breakfast tea. And that’s great that you do two timos at once!
