drank Earl Grey by Stash Tea
15 tasting notes

I couldn’t drink this today. I straight up poured it out after trying to tolerate it for 3 sips. It was just blechhhhh. Black tea was flat and acidic while the bergamot was off-putting for some reason. I think this tea is immature. It has no nuances, I feel like it bit me.

Is the phenomenon typical with bagged greys? I’ve enjoyed this before (and its way better than Bigelows (IMHO) but def NOT today.

Preparation
180 °F / 82 °C 3 min, 30 sec 8 OZ / 236 ML

Hello!! I’m so happy I found this site!!

I’m Haley and here are three random things about me:
-I took Ancient Greek in college, i’m generally fascinated by words, language and translation

-I bike to work everyday and love physical fitness

-I’m a stony hippie

I’ve recently become obsessed with tea after moving back to my rainy Northwest hometown after a two year stint in the dirty south with my boyfriend.

In the South, I drank exclusively unsweet iced tea. It was survival.

For the past few months I’ve delved back into the world of hot teas and I have so much more exploring to do. I am ashamed that I haven’t tried more loose leaf tea and intend to try anything I can get my hands on! I would love to swap!!

When I’m drinking tea you can expect that it has a small amount of honey in it or nothing at all.

I rarely use dairy but may pour a splash of almond or coconut milk in a chai or dessert tea.

Favorite flavors: cinnamon, vanilla, ginger, peppery, spicy, chai, holiday/fall flavors, grapefruit, citrus, lemongrass, matcha

Can’t stand: star anise, fennel, licorice, overpowering mint, red fruit teas served hot

Want to try/ haven’t found a good one: the green that makes my heart beat faster, chocolate, grapefruit, coconut, berry/fruit, your favorite earl grey, your favorite chocolate

I drink mostly hot green and black tea, have a strange relationship with rooibos and have only tried white tea iced.

<3 Tell me about yourself and your favorite tea!
