I am an Earl aficionado. I will taste any that come across my tongue. I have found many that I love and many that . . . I seriously do not love. This is, without a doubt, one of the best. There is a sweet citrus burst on top of beautifully balanced black tea. A bit of cream. It doesn’t dry my out like even the best Earls tend to.
Have you ever smelled smoke? Not bad smoke. Like campfire wood smoke, or pipe tobacco, and it sort of clings around the back of your nose, and then you move and a little puff of smoke comes out from a fold of your shirt and you smell it again and it’s just as good? That is what this tea reminds me of. It’s lingering and I love it.
