This sample came my way from VariaTEA.
I’m not a fan of Earl Greys (thus far). I don’t hate them, but I don’t really enjoy them. However, this one isn’t too bad. I don’t need any for cupboard, but I enjoyed this cup. The bergamot was mellowed sufficiently by the marshmallow. The base worked well and didn’t over- or underwhelm. Overall a decent cup.
Thanks VariaTEA!
I love black tea and this is usually what’s in my mug. I’m also happy to enjoy a cup of green or red rooibos, herbals, oolongs (unroasted/green and red preferable to roasted), whites, and subtly flavoured greens.
Likes:
Raspberry, strawberry, peach, apricot, rhubarb, passionfruit, blackcurrant, redcurrant, fig, and most fruits in general, maple, creaminess, hay, biscuit, lavender, and cacao/dark chocolate.
I enjoy bergamot when paired with flavours that mellow it.
Dislikes:
Any smokiness at all, stevia, too much blackberry leaf, rose, jasmine, ginger (except in chai), cinnamon-heavy teas, anything cloying or fake/candy-like.
I’m vegan and have an allergy to potatoes, so I avoid any animal products in tea, along with sprinkles as these often have potato starch (I’ll happily pick them out of blends).
