It’s a sad day for tea when my favorite EGC is no longer the same. I received some of the new batch recently. This is an entirely different EGC in my opinion. (Zen is telling me the supplier changed it on them.) Less of that amazing cream (if any) and definitely a different bergamot – and not one I particularly want to drink. It’s probably okay for an EG but not the magic it was before! Sad stuff.

Aw, I’m sorry to bring the bad news, TeaTiff! I have no idea who sells my favorite EG now… all of the EGs I loved, the shops that sold them are closed now.
David’s was actually fairly similar when I had it prior to Zen. Also the EGC from Zhi Tea is fairly similar… not the same but it is soft and creamy.
Oh thanks! Teajo’s EG was really good when I tried it years ago, but that one doesn’t have cream. The Tea Merchant was also good, but it looks like they are gone and there is a new shop called The Tea Merchant.
I contacted Zen Tea yesterday b/c I noticed their EGC was listed as out of stock. It sounds like they are “fixing” the difference in the EGC and will have the original back in stock in 2 weeks or so.
Very good news indeed. I ordered a batch of it during the Black Friday sales, so I am assuming that it is the new batch. I did not have a chance to try the original batch if this is not it. That said, this one is pretty darn fantastic.
OH NO!!!!!!!
This is my favorite. I am fighting back tears
