The creamy vanilla scent is lovely. There is a good cream and bergamot flavour. While the citrus notes are a bit lighter, it is still a nice cozy blend.

(Earl Grey is the unofficial tea of winter.)

Flavors: Bergamot, Citrus, Cream, Creamy, Lemon

A good EG really is the tea of winter!

Now all I want is a nice mug of cream EG! Haha. Funnily enough, I actually think my cupboard might be devoid of those right now, or at least, of good ones!

My tea while watching Stargate Atlantis, and Star Trek. There is a very nice bergamot scent. It is a bit light on bergamot flavour, but still quite good. The base tea is pleasantly sweet. Overall, a nice lighter Earl Grey.

Flavors: Bergamot

Certainly a good tea on snowy winter days.

It is my goal this year to green more green tea. So, I got this as a sample. There is a nutty scent, with notes of toasted rice. The flavour mostly reminds me of noodle soup.
Paired well with my Thai food.

Flavors: Nutty, Toasted Rice

I’m playing Story of Seasons- Trio of Towns this morning. Tsuyukusa Town has a nice tea house, and visiting makes me want green tea in real life.

One of my newest samples. There is a sweet caramel scent while dry, and more of a sesame scent when brewed. The flavour is sweet sesame, with caramel notes in the background. Glad I decided to try some. It goes pretty well with doriyaki and daifuku.

Flavors: Caramel
