B&B released a new Earl Grey collection while we were in Europe with four different EG blends, so of course we wanted to try them. In the end we picked up 3/4 – choosing to skip the chocolate Earl Grey because it seemed a little less interesting and unique to us.
This was the one I was most personally interested in, and I have to admit it’s left me perplexed. The ingredient list is interesting to me. Licorice root I understand the inclusion of both as a natural sweetener and because it’s very mouth/throat coating properties will likely enhance the feeling of this being a more rich and caramel-like blend. Cardamom, on the other hand, seems out of pocket to me. Though, I have to admit the dry leaf smells INCREDIBLE with such a buttery toffee aroma, and you do also clearly smell cardamom too and it seems nice and complimentary…
Steeped I’m not mad about the taste, but it left me questing who this was for customer wise. If I’m attracted to this profile because of the Earl Grey, I think the bergamot note in the blend is actually maybe a little too light – that’s a quality that I personally appreciated, but that I could see bothering others. On the flip side, if I’m attracted to the blend because of the caramel (like in my case) I also feel like the caramel could be richer. It is a sweeter leaning profile with the buttery quality of the caramel and the licorice root acting in the way I expected both flavour/mouthfeel-wise. But I just want more caramel. Particularly a deeper, thicker caramel note. A bit less bright/aromatic.
And the cardamom. It’s there. You can clearly taste it, and honestly it’s nice. It compliments all the flavours pretty solidly. I just don’t understand why it’s in a Caramel Earl Grey. That’s still so confusing to me.
…so I’m definitely torn with this one!
