From Harney & Sons

For the connoisseur we offer Earl Grey Supreme, which uses a higher grade of teas with the addition of Silver Tips. Most of our customers never go back to our regular Earl Grey once they taste the Supreme. If you love bergamot and fine tea, this is the blend for you!

Ingredients: Black tea, white tea, bergamot oil.

Details: People just love this tea. Great teas and wonderful lemony flavors combine into something special, something we call Supreme

Dry Leaves: A nice mixture of large black leaves, the brown leaves of the oolong, and silver needles of the white tea

Liquor: The liquor is a lighter brown than most Earl Greys, this is because the higher proportion of large tippy teas and the silver tips

Aroma: Lovely citrus aromas predominate, we put a higher amount of bergamot in this special tea

Caffeine Level: caffeinated

Body: With larger, tippy teas and silver tips this is a lighter bodied tea

Flavors: The lemony flavors are perfectly balanced with the delicious tea base. In comparison to other Earl Greys, there is a nice sweetness from the tippy teas and citrusy bergamot.

Brewing Time: 5

Brewing Temp: 212º

What? How have I not logged this one yet?!?

So this is actually a sipdown. It’s quite a decent Earl Grey, objectively speaking. It’s very bergamot-citrusy in a convincing way, rather than a “bergamot flavoring” kind of way. Bright and perky… and a little soft-spoken. It’s not quite as brisk or as bold as I like my “British” teas to be. It reminds me of the sunlight streaming through your window on a pretty spring morning, and I always want one like washing your face with cold water on a foggy spring morning.

… I keep saying that I can tell the Teavana EG isn’t the best, but I think it’s the one I’m always expecting!

Definitely a “very good,” maybe not “supreme” (at least by my standards, which may or may not be in line with those of more dedicated EG connoisseurs.) Still a nice wake-up tea, and definitely worth a try if you are a fan of Earl Greys.

Dry: I was surprised to see I hadn’t already reviewed this because I had it before at a restaurant and that was the reason I wanted to order it for the house. Anyhow, it is made up of short black and brown leaves (black and oolong teas). It has white tea in the ingredients also, but there are only a few silver needles in the 1.5 tsp I used along with a few twigs. It smells very fresh and lemony and obviously has a good bit of bergamot in the mix.

Steeped: Clear light brown liquor. I expected this to be darker, but I guess the oolong and white tea kept it from darkening up too much. The steeped aroma is lovely if you like citrusy scents. The bergamot and the tea come out really nicely with heat.

Taste: I am picky about Earl Grey types, but this one is pleasant and aromatic. Rich and flavorful, it is naturally sweet and light to medium-bodied with a rich lemony background. I added a dash of whole milk, which gives it a creamy dimension as well. This is a very decent breakfast cup to start the day.

Brace yourselves. I’m trying a new Earl Grey outside of my comfort zone.

This cup in the morning hasn’t been too shabby. Harney seem to have used more tea than bergamot, which doesn’t bother me in the slightest. As long as my Earl Grey has that citrusy wang, tout va bien.

Very pleasant and light

Lemony and a nice touch of bergamot. Not overpowering on the flavoring can still taste some of the tea. If you feel like drinking an Earl Grey tea, you can’t go wrong with this tea.

I usually drink this as a latte, as it is strong enough to stand on its own flavorwise against the milk, as opposed to some earl grey’s that can get washed out. The bergamot is nice and substantial tasting, good middle of the road

My SO’s aunt said this is one of her favorite teas so I’ve been wanting to try it. I got a cup at Tom n Tom’s and I loved it! It has such a great flavor. It’s perfect all on its own, without cream or sugar. Its really clean, not too strong or too mild and definitely not bitter or astringent.

So, I just joined Steepster and this is my first tasting note. I can’t pretend that I have a ton of tea knowledge beyond Lipton’s tea bags and fishing through the giant crazy plastic bag of teas that moves with my roommate from apartment to apartment. Which is where this came from. I liked this tea, a nice flavor if a little weak, but then I have no idea how old it was when I found it (I’m going to have to have to alter our tea storage situation I think). I tend to lean toward black tea over green or herbal teas, and this one was not too bitter or anything. It was very good with my weird breakfast of leftover cabbage and potatoes. Wow, that is crazy English isn’t it? Anyway, I hope that in the future I’ll be able to provide some more insight and knowledge on my tea!

Every time I go to Barnes & Nobles, this is the Earl Grey they serve me. I drink this tea slowly, to enjoy the nice flavor.
