This. This……is already one of my favorite teas. I love a good Earl Grey, and I’ve tasted many different brands. Until my Whispering Pines order came the other day, I thought I had come close to tasting it all. You know that feeling you get when you come across something that fills a hole in your life that you never even noticed was there before? For me, that is Earl Gold.
Whispering Pines’ Golden Snail is already one of my absolute favorite teas, so I was beyond excited to try an Earl Grey with it as the base. I was curious to see how the unique chocolately flavor of this tea pairs with bergamot, and the result is delicious. The amount of bergamot in this is perfect: although it’s prominent in the scent of the dry leaf (making me wish I could turn this tea into a candle), it’s well-balanced in the brewed cup – not too light, but not so heavy that it masks that Golden Snail yumminess.
They’re already sold out of this online, but I will be ordering more as SOON as I can.
