Kiki came home for the day and is kicked back in her recliner watching TV. It’s a hot one outside today and thankfully cool inside. She’s about ready to fall asleep and then ZING! a sip of black tea.
“Oh, I like this one. I LIKE this one. Is that jasmine? That’s… omg… new episodes on “Money Heist.” burrp It’s a jasmine burp, it’s a black oolong and uh, am I right?"
No haha!
“No? It’s a… Am I right at all?”
Hold on!
“What did you say? Is anything right? Ok so it’s a white tea!”
Haha, you’re a funny one, Kiki.
“I dunno. It’s good!”
It’s called French Earl Grey. It has fruity flavors and bergamot and rose and flower petals.
“Alright that’s black. Isn’t that black? Alright.”
It has fruity peachy flavor in it…
“Okay…”
…and bergamot flavor…
“Okay…”
…and rose and flower petals.
“Alright. yawn Very, very nice.”
This has a full mouthfeel that sets it apart from all the flavored black teas and black teabags I’ve had lately. It makes me think of a tobacco-tasting black tea but I wouldn’t say I taste tobacco. Upon another sip, maybe I would say tobacco. Woody tobacco? The full, peachy flavoring and moderate bergamot flavoring play really well with the base tea. This is cohesive. The peach lingers in the aftertaste. Pretty good. I feel like the heft of this tea combined with the fruity and floral tastes would make a good cup on a hard-frost early spring morning.
Flavors: Astringent, Bergamot, Dark Wood, Floral, Fruity, Peach, Round, Smooth, Tobacco
I really like this one! For me, the peach and rose just combine to taste like a lychee Earl Grey, which I have no complaints about!
Sounds marvelous!
Hi, Kiki! Happy September to you.
