Earl Grey Decaf

I joined a pride group at school this semester. At our first meeting we made our own felt door banners that are similar to the banners that other bigger clubs have made at our school. So this is a school thing. Our banners said GLOW because our pride group is called GLOW (Gays, Lesbians, or Whatever)

So, I had put my banner on my door on sunday and everything was nice. It was red with a pink banner with the letters spelling GLOW in the middle on some brown pieces of felt and a little rainbow ribbon in the corner. This morning, I came back from the bathroom and noticed that my banner was missing. Of course, I was upset. Eventually I made another sign out of paper and colored pencil (this time the background is rainbow)

So, after a day like this, sometimes you just need a big MUG of comforting tea.

Sometimes… sometimes this is all I need. <3

This was the tea that I drank every day, all day, before I discovered loose leaf.

Oh wow…this tea is pretty darn good, even though it’s from a teabag and decaf. I wasn’t even keeping track of how long I steeped it, but I think it steeped pretty long, in boiling water…yet not a bit of bitterness! I added in some milk and Splenda, and the tea is strong enough to handle it. It tastes creamy, orangey, sugary, and flowery. It’s late, and I apologize if this note is just blah. But the tea itself? Good enough that it’s making me feel better since my kitty, who peed all over her own winter coat fur bloomers, backed up into my leg 5 minutes ago and got pee on me. :(

(Side note….should I take her for a haircut? It’s the middle of winter, but my apartment is really warm…)

I’ve been having at least one cup of this every night before I sleep, and it is incredibly relaxing. I can’t get over how mellow this tea is, no matter how long you steep it for. An excellent blend!

I got this sample and two other teas from a promotion that is over for now.

Earl Grey makes me happy and I thought this would help me want to get things done that needed to be done but not keep me up all night cause I need to get up early.

The tea bag smells of light peppery poultry seasoning. Normally I steep Earl Grey about 3-4 min, I left this one in because of how weak it tasted and I thought it may improve later. After about 10 min it taste stronger and is drinkable. It taste lemony and smells like a lemon scented cleaning product.

The good news is I’m excited to wake up in the morning to start my day with the cup of Earl Gray I wanted to have tonight.

My go-to tea almost every single night. Earl Grey is my weakness and being able to drink it a lot and not worry about caffeine is a great thing. This is probably what Captain Picard drank so often since he never seemed too jittery.

Twinings was the first Earl Grey tea I ever had; I fell in love with it. Now that I’m older and have to worry about my caffeine consumption throughout the day, I go to Twinings Earl Grey Decaffeinated. As other tasters have already noted, one can let this steep, even forget about it—and it’s still smooth, not bitter. I don’t have a lot to add, save to say I prefer it to the Bigelow Earl Grey Decaf. That one tends to knock one out with over-flavoring. This, the Twinings, is more subtle, and blends better with wanting to rest!

One of my favorites before bed. Not as robust as the regular Earl Grey, so i tend to steep it a little longer and hotter.

I got a box of this a while back because I finished my vanilla Comoro and, uhh, with the borders closed I can’t exactly visit my friend in Chicago and restock my teas…

It’s ok. I feel bad saying that as I used to drink this tea all the time. It’s not a strong tea, and the bergamot is just there. Idk. Am I just having trouble with earl grey teas these days? I’ve been slowly looking for a new one but I haven’t settled on anything yet.

My favorite decaf EG. It avoids the overwhelming flat, stale aftertaste that many decaf teas have. The bergamot oil is good quality, which helps a lot. Good with a splash of milk. Sometimes I want real tea in the afternoons, so decaf is my only option unless I want to be wide awake all night.
