Fortnum and Mason advent day 3
I was facing this one with a bit of trepidation. I like Earl Grey best with Keemun, Lapsang, or white tea as the base. I was afraid this would be a “volume ten in your face” Earl.
I made a toasted cheese to go with it and let it be a holiday tribute to our good friend, KS, who loved Earl Grey every which way. Rat lunch, just like the old days.
To my surprise, this is smooth and easy sipping! Stoo gave it a 6.5 of 10 for how much bergamot is in it and I agree. Plenty to taste but nothing overpowering here. I see that JacquelineM called it a favorite, and I see why. Plus she points out that the company says the base is mostly Chinese black tea! This explains why I like it. Bergamot seems to be paired with Ceylon most of the time and it is just way too sour for me!
Big thumbs up for day 3!

Whaaaat this was Day 2 for me! O.o
And I agree, I loved this one! Definitely a Chinese base. ❤
I haven’t rat lunched for a while. On the menu it goes.
At least I won’t be giving you any spoilers, Cameron! Maybe an apprentice loaded my calendar!
Gmathis – I hope you enjoy your rat lunch!
This is a good day to get a Christmas card sent off to his wife!
Yeah I miss KS too.
KS! Had a toasted cheese with dill pickles inside the other day: fancy rat lunch.
