Courtney drank Earl Blue by Tante-T

I adore this company and they don’t ship to Canada — I’ll have to stock up when we make it back to CPH ❤.

This is a strong Earl Grey with a very crisp, ‘clean’ taste. There are hints of astringency that never fully materialise. This one does best just under boiling and with a short steep or it can become astringent. It’s also best drunk when it’s cooled just enough to be drinkable. Really, really enjoy this one and can’t wait to pick up more!

Bio

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).
