Dinosara drank Earl Grey Tea Time by Fauchon

2201 tasting notes

I had been disappointed with this tea (#31) in the past. I think it’s because I was hoping it would be like YAY COOKIES with Earl Grey, when in fact is more like maybe you ate a cookie 10 minutes ago and now you are drinking a very bold cup of Earl. I used 2 tsp again this time and didn’t have any issues with it being weak, so I’m not sure what happened with my first cup of this. Overall, it was a tasty Earl, and I did get a hint of shortbread from it especially as it cooled. So yeah, I still wish it could have had more cookie flavor, but I’m still happy with it as is.

Preparation

Boiling 3 min, 0 sec 2 tsp 12 OZ / 354 ML

Bio

I am tea obsessed, with the stash to match. I tend to really enjoy green oolongs, Chinese blacks, and flavored teas with high quality bases, especially florals, bergamot-based teas, and chocolate teas.

In my free time I am a birder, baker, and music/movie/tv addict.

Here are my rating categories, FYI:
100-90: Mind-blowingly good, just right for my palate, and teas that just take me to a happy place.
89-86: I really really like these teas and will keep most of them in the permanent collection, but they’re not quite as spectacular as the top category
85-80: Pretty tasty teas that I enjoy well enough, but definitely won’t rebuy when I run out.
79-70: Teas that I would probably drink again, but only if there were no preferrable options.
69-50: Teas that I don’t really enjoy all that much and wouldn’t drink another cup of.
49 and below: Mega yuck. This tea is just disgusting to me.
Unrated: Usually I feel unqualified to rate these teas because they are types of teas that I tend to not like in general. Sometimes user error or tea brewed under poor conditions.
