“I was surprised by the intensity of flavor, since a lot of Earl Greys I?ve tried in the past are a bit lacking on the tea side. This is a bold black tea that brews strong even in small amounts. Unsweetened, the flavor of the tea is what stands out most. Adding a little rock sugar brings out the citrus, creating a tea that?s refreshing and perfect for a morning punch, somewhere other Earl Greys tend to fall short. But where this tea really shines is after the addition of just a splash of milk. Milk enhances the subtle vanilla flavor, creating a heavenly blend with just the right balance of full-bodied flavors.”
“Yes, I added cream ~ I actually like my black teas prepared as ?milky? tea, whereas all other types of tea, I like plain or just with lemon. This does have a nice smooth flavor, strong but not bitter. The cream tea, vanilla and orange scent and taste lend this blend to be special tea.”
“Overall, a lovely, robust black flavored tea. Perfect warm and, as the tea cooled and the flavor deepened, I knew this would be a beautiful tea over ice for summer, too.”
