I am trying to do some sample stashbusting for the rest of this week! Lets see how many samples I can get through before I move.
I had a sample of this before, but another sample pouch of this came to me via Infusin_Susan, I believe. I really liked this one before and am interested to see how it comes off now, since my tastes have changed quite a bit from the last time I tried this.
I have to say that whereas once was quite a fan of this, now it’s decent but not great. I don’t know what to point out except that I don’t think I am really that much of a lavender fan. That said the lavender in this is light and not soapy, which helps its cause a lot. I think it is partly the base that I no longer care for so much; it has a particular flavor that I am just not digging. But it is still a drinkable cup and I am enjoying it.

I read your post with interest, since this was one of the first loose Earl Grey teas I have tried as part of a sample pack, and I enjoyed it a lot then. Since then, I have sampled many more Earl Greys and have a new favorite. Have you figured out what your favorite is?
I have searched through many Earls looking for my favorite! Right now it’s Lupicia’s Earl Grey. I also quite like Dammann Freres’ Earl Grey avec fleurs, though it is a slightly lighter bergamot than I usually go for. When I want a lot of bergamot I will go for Todd & Holland’s Double Bergamot, but the Lupicia one is so well balanced.

Thanks. Lupicia’s Earl Grey is on my shopping list.
