The latest face/off in the Battle of the Earl Greys has left this one the victor! The vanilla and anise/licorice aftertaste is an interesting element, but it far surpassed the arresting briskness of the Harney & Sons Earl Grey Supreme.

Feel free to browse my cupboard if you’re interested in swapping, but all the mate and pu-erh in our household is my husband’s.
For swapping purposes, please note the apple allergy. Thank you!
I tried to limit my cupboard to teas that were 1oz or larger, but that was a gorgeous failure in terms of swap communication. It’s all going back up.
Okay, I just feel wrong trying to grade things without a rubric – it’s too inconsistent! So, here is the grading breakdown:
0-50: Dump it!
50-60: I might finish the cup
60-70: Possibly finish the pot
70-80: I may keep this on hand
80-90: Cupboard space guaranteed
90-100: Poetry may be involved!
