45
drank Earl Grey by Ahmad Tea
1852 tasting notes

As “A Gift from London Earl Grey”, but on backside it is written that’s from Ahmad.

And it is just same, soapy, artificial aroma and taste, luckily the base was quite okay.

Ahh, why I thought it will be good idea to start the day with this?

I remember my old friend KS drinking this one a lot.

Yes, mrmopar, this was his “go to” daily drinker! I bought a box after he passed just as a tribute to try one cup, but I passed the rest on to my youngest daughter. She liked it well enough.

I know I gave it only 45, but it’s not that bad. Maybe I am just used to another style of EG. Maybe I just need it completely fresh one to taste it well. Maybe…

mrmopar

Gosh no Martin. I just recall KS having a fondness for this one. He ate at Steak and Shake and brought his own teabags if I remember.

ashmanra

Martin – I gave it away because I didn’t like it! I am not a fan of Earl Grey unless the base is rich and dark like a Keemun, but almost everyone uses Ceylon which is already lemony and it just becomes way too tart for me!

Martin Bednář

ashmanra – yeah, I think there are much more interesting bases than Ceylon for Earl Grey. Although some regions can be quite malty as well. Keemun sounds great too!

I am drinking almost everything. Tea bag collector who moved to wonderful world of loose leaf.

Trying to rate differently tea bags and loose leaf as tea bags have usually worse quality.

Photographer now and then. Postcrossing and geocaching member. Very curious person. Logistics student (should finish in June 2021).

Buried in tea right now. Is in my cupboard (trying to be updated) which sparkled your interest? Write me, I would gladly share with you. But I don’t want anything in return now :)
