Cameron B. drank Earl Grey Crème by Three 6 Tea

4330 tasting notes

Sipdown! (46 | 250)

Earl Grey Crème always reminds me of Courtney now, because she loves it so much.
Hi Courtney! (waves)

This is pleasant enough. It has a nice balance of bergamot and vanilla, though the flavoring overall is perhaps a touch heavy for my tastes. The vanilla tastes fairly natural and a touch creamy. It’s hard to taste much from the base because of the strong flavoring.

Added a touch of milk to the second half of the cup, since I just wasn’t feeling the strong bergamot right after lunch. Plus it was a good excuse to use one of my oft-neglected tiny creamer jugs. :3

So this isn’t a tea I would personally order, as I’m not a lover of strong bergamot. But it seems a perfectly nice Earl Grey Crème for those who prefer their Earl Grey strong.

Flavors: Bergamot, Creamy, Perfume, Smooth, Sweet, Vanilla

Bio

Hi, I’m Cameron!

I’m a 30-something software engineer currently living in Austin, Texas with my husband and our two pugs, Gobo and Ume. I tend to cycle between my different hobbies, and they include piano, knitting, video games, board games, miniature painting, planners, bento, Korean skincare, and – of course – TEA! But really, what I’m best at is “collecting” hobby-related things… ;)

I prefer my tea lukewarm or at room temperature and without milk or sugar. I steep Western style, and fluctuate between using big mugs or small teapots depending on the season.

I am always up for a swap! Just let me know if you’d like to try something in my cupboard.

Tea Preferences:
I enjoy both flavored and unflavored teas in many forms. These days, I drink mostly flavored teas, and I tend to gravitate most toward black, green, oolong, and herbal varieties. I do have a special fondness for straight Japanese green teas, however.

I do not sweeten my teas, and pre-sweetened teas are usually too sweet for me. I also do not enjoy stevia (or monkfruit, etc.).

I tend to reach for fruitier flavors rather than desserty ones these days, but I do have favorites from both categories. Willing to try anything once! There are a few ingredients/flavors that aren’t generally my jam, such as coconut, rose, lavender, and chocolate flavoring. But I also have teas that I love with some of those things, too! :)

Favorite Companies:
3 Leaf
Bird & Blend
Dammann Frères
Harney & Sons
Kyoto Obubu Tea Farms
Lupicia
Old Barrel Tea Co
Simpson & Vail
Taiwan Tea Crafts
TeaVivre

Tea Rating Scale:
90-100: Outstanding! Permanent cupboard resident
80-89: Great – a possible staple
70-79: Good, but I wouldn’t buy it
60-69: It’s decent
50-59: Meh… I may or may not have finished the cup
40-49: Ick. Couldn’t finish it.
00-39: Repulsive, I spat it out

I will sometimes refrain from rating a tea if I feel I’m too biased due to my personal dislikes, or if I suspect the sample has been compromised by age or scent contamination.
