Cream of Earl Grey (Organic)

I love Earl Grey and London Fog lattes in moderation (once a month, or else I’ll get tired of the bergamot). This “creamy twist” is no different. It’s great with or without milk! Delicious, although I wouldn’t buy a whole tin (25g has taken me 4 months to nearly finish).

Very tasty, creamy vanilla earl grey

Fantastic, but one thing – don’t steep it too long! I love Earl Grey and I love vanilla, so the first time I walked into a David’s Tea and they asked what kind I liked, my response? Earl Grey (It was really the only tea I drank until now) and when she showed me one with vanilla, I was in love. It took about 3 trips to David’s Tea for just a cup of the tea before I decided to buy a tin and some supplies :P It smells like black licorice, which I love, but the taste is like a rich, almost bitter (but not in a bad way) with a hint of vanilla. But be careful not to steep it too long, I left it for about 10-15 mins once by mistake and it was way too strong, bitter and sour and tasted exactly like a gross black licorice.. bleh! But otherwise, an excellent tea (:

at the beginning a little bit too buttery for my taste. but once you start drinking it regularly, you get addicted to i.

Strong round flavour. Highly astringent qualities. Vanilla flavour not really allowed to come through. Peppery taste on the finish. Floral aftertaste.

One of my favourite teas. It goes great with a bit of milk. I feel like it enhances the vanilla. Could drink this all day, every day.

Every time I step into Starbucks or Second Cup, I tell myself to get something different than my usual… but by the time I get to the front of the line, “grande London Fog please” comes out of my mouth.
Because I consider these drinks “luxury spending” now, I am happy to have found Cream of Earl Grey as a simple replacement.

In the mornings, I make one cup following all the brewing instructions. I add a bit of milk, sometimes brown sugar or a spoonful of condensed milk depending on my mood, and voila, a perfectly satisfying taste of creamy earl grey goodness with enough caffeine to last me through the morning.

not a huge fan of earl grey’s but i do love vanilla black teas and citrus, so this one makes sense.
smells nice – a light hint of vanilla and that classic earl grey taste.
probably would be good with some sugar and milk, might break boyfriend of his ‘i only drink earl grey’ habit

Before I tried the actual earl grey, I got 50g of this one!
And it is good with a bit of soy & stevia.

It’s more soothing I’d say, than their straight earl grey tea – which is stronger and more pungent. It’s really good for winding down after a hard day (if you’re not sensitive to a bit of caffeine, that is)

Wanted desperately to like this… but couldn’t. The smell promised of comfort and substance, but the taste seemed over-bitter and diluted. Perhaps on another day, sans the takeout cup.
