I love Earl Grey, and I’m usually happy to try variants thereof (lavender Earls in particular I’m a sucker for). I’ve never come across a chocolate-flavored Earl though, so I purchased a couple of samples out of curiosity. Couldn’t hurt, right?
It’s certainly a tasty tea, even if it doesn’t seem much like Earl Grey to me, since I don’t get that much bergamot. More like a chocolate tea that’s a little citrusy. In fact, as far as chocolate teas go it’s one of the better ones I’ve had.
Even though my profile picture’s the worgen crest, rest assured my heart belongs to the Horde.
I’m a gamer girl who drinks a lot of tea. My tastes tend heavily towards black tea, though I won’t turn down a nice green or white either.
I stay away from most herbals because far too many of them have hibiscus. I find hibiscus disgusting. Nor am I a fan of rooibos; the taste has to be pretty heavily masked for me to drink it. Usually if I’m drinking a tisane it’s something purely floral like lavender, or rose buds, or chrysanthemum.
I’ll almost always put sugar in my tea, unless it’s something that really doesn’t work well with it (I will never ever add sugar to lapsang souchong again) or something that honestly doesn’t need it or would be ruined by it, like most unflavored greens or whites.
