I had a glass of this, iced, at Ada’s Technical Books & Cafe. Wonderful location, wonderful iced tea. I was a bit worried I’d want to sweeten it a bit, but it was perfect as is!

I LOVE this tea. The blend of rose, cardamom, and vanilla in black tea is just amazing. I like to add a spoonful of honey and a dash of cream.

Backlog:

I bought a tin of this at my local Chuck’s Produce. Hey, it was an Earl Grey I hadn’t yet tried. My interest was piqued. Yeah. That’s usually all it takes. I’m kind of a Earl Grey groupie.

It has a strong Bergamot aroma – I like that in an Earl Grey. The flavor is bright and acidic, citrus-y, tangy, deliciously bergamot-y. The tea flavors smooth out some of the edge of the bergamot. A really flavorful, rich tasting tea.

The tea has notes of malt, and it’s bold and well-rounded. I’m very satisfied with this Earl Grey.
