Popular Tasting Notes
This tea is almost too accurate to taste, ahaha. Every time I drank it I was like, “ooh I want a root beer now.” Which completely defeats the purpose of a tea substitute.
I’m not sure if they’re still carrying this, but I found it best with sugar. The sweet really brings out the vanilla and cinnamon notes of this and makes it taste like a flat soda. I just miss the bubbles.
Preparation
Taylors Earl Grey Leaf Tea is a solid black tea—leagues above any supermarket black tea. I’ve mostly had it hot, boiled for anywhere between 1 and 8 minutes. Served hot, the tea has robust, tannic notes, typically associated with black teas. The oil of bergamot is rather distinct and overpowers the natural taste of the black tea, especially the more you drink. Depending on your position as a traditionalist or connoisseur, this may not be to your liking. Overall, Taylors Earl Grey Leaf Tea is a solid introductory tea everyone can enjoy.
Flavors: Citrus, Cocoa, Dark Wood, Tannic
Preparation
This is a delightful tea. One day I was at my office and my boss just told me: there are some teas, you can prepare yourself whatever you want. I did so with this one. Is really strong and spicy and it has a soft peppermint flavor at the ending. The black pepper is strong and you can feel it as well as the cardamom. It’s slightly sweet(ened).
It is, as well, pretty good in waking you up when you’re tired/lazy/sleepy after lunch. Perfect to drink in the afternoon.
