Earl Grey Creme Flavored Black Tea

Yesterday, I was in desperate need of a soothing yet robust tea. The safe thing to do, to ensure meeting both requirements, would be to drink my old faithful Winter White Earl Grey by Harney and Sons. Yet, I felt somewhat adventurous and opted with great anticipation to try something new. Imagine my excitement when I discovered the Earl Grey Creme Flavored Black Tea in my tea stash that I recently received from Jessica, author of Authori+ea. 

Thanks again Authori+ea!

Composition: Traditional blend of Earl Grey black tea with bergamot oil, blue cornflowers, vanilla pieces and cream flavoring (dairy-free).

Dry Visual: A mixture of black, medium quality, broken, tea leaves complimented by contrasting blue cornflowers. 

Dry Aroma: Heavenly! This tea has a wonderful sweet smell of dessert quality. I could not help opening the package and smelling over and over and over again!

Flavor: Fantastic! Earl Grey Creme Flavored Black Tea satisfied my tea craving. The combination of black tea and bergamot (traditional earl grey) create a robust tea. The addition of vanilla pieces and cream flavoring cause this tea to have a creamy taste. Naturally sweet, I can enjoy this tea without sweetener. However, I enjoyed with a dab of honey. The creamy taste of the Earl Grey Creme Flavored Black tea enhanced by the the sweet addition of honey is simply scrumptious. 

In my second infusion, Earl Grey Creme Flavored Tea continued to be delicious. The flavor was less robust and the creamy taste was definitely mild.

 

Liquor: Dark brown this tea has a borderline “dusty” color.

Brewing Time: Recommended brewing time is 2 – 3 minutes. I brewed for 4 minutes. I think I forgot that I was not brewing my normal Winter White Earl Grey.

Manufacturer: Teavana

Caffeine: Yes
