drank Cream Earl Grey by The Teaguy
73 tasting notes

Another awesome sample from Teaguy! This tea was such a pleasant surprise for me. I’ve had many a cream earl grey, but this one stands out to the sweet, toffee-like, butterscotchy undertone in the aroma. As soon as I got a whiff of that, I was extra excited to try this tea. The flavor didn’t disappoint – that same undertone is still present, making this blend warmer and sweeter than most cream earl greys I’m used to (which typically only exhibit vanilla flavor in addition to the bergamot). What’s also nice about this blend is that I can still taste the tea underneath the additional flavors; the base is solid! Also, the aroma of the steeped tea reminds me of freshly baked scones – yum.

Flavors: Bergamot, Toffee, Vanilla

Preparation
205 °F / 96 °C 3 min, 0 sec 1 tsp 8 OZ / 236 ML

Bio

If you count the bagged stuff, I’ve been a tea drinker for a long time. I first discovered the joys of loose leaf on a trip to London in 2014, and it’s all been downhill from there. I’m still in the phase where I want to try everything, and I’m still developing my tea personality.

Types of tea / tisanes I gravitate toward: black, green oolong, Japanese green, flavored teas (sweet, floral, fruity, minty, complex, you name it), rooibos, roasted mate, and many herbal and fruit combos.

Teas I need to try, try again, or keep trying: white, pu erh, dark oolong, pure Chinese green, mate

I’ll update soon with my rating system!
