Short Sorceress drank Earl Grey Cream by Tealish

2145 tasting notes

scribbles sent this to me earlier in the summer and I’ve been saving it for once the weather cooled off a little. I don’t tend to drink EG in the summer, but once fall hits I practically live on it. Since the low tonight is suppose to be 60, I figured that was close enough to cool weather, and pulled it out for my final tea of the night.

I’ve really fallen in love with Tealish, hopefully one of these days I’ll be able to place an order, I could probably spend a fortune on their teas. I’ve enjoyed every single one that I’ve tried so far.

This particular EGC has a good balance between the cream and the bergamot. The bergamot was there, but not overpowering, and there was a substantial presence from the cream. What I loved is that unlike many other EGCs that I’ve tried, there wasn’t even a hint of bitterness.

I think I’ll have to do a side by side comparison with my current favorite EGC and see if this one is going to take its place.

I am always interested in swapping so if you see anything in my cupboard that you want to try just send me a message. Please keep in mind that I order most of my teas in sample sizes and may not have a lot to swap. I’m also trying to keep my swaps limited to one a month so I don’t break the bank.

My favorite tea companies to order from are American Tea Room, Rishi, TeaVivre, and Single Origin Teas, however I am constantly lured away from my favorites by a good sale.

Ingredients I love in tea
rose, peach, oolong, osmanthus, vanilla, marshmallow root and peppermint

Ingredients I dislike in tea:
spearmint, chocolate, orange, hibiscus, sage and for the most part lemon.

I am a firm believer that sage only belongs in my thanksgiving stuffing/dressing and absolutely not in my tea.

Allergies
Cinnamon, Chocolate, Burdock Root, and Goji Berries

Teawares:
FORLIFE Curve Teapot, 24oz
Adagio ingenuiTEA, 16oz
Adagio Iced ingenuiTEA, 32oz
Zojirushi Water Pot, 4L
Libbey Country Fair drinking jars for ice tea
TeaVivre Travel Gaiwan

Rating Guidelines:

100 – 90: Pantry essential and some of my all time favorites that I can’t live without.

89 – 80: You’ll have a pretty good chance of finding this is my pantry on a regular basis, but it isn’t the end of the world if I run out.

79 – 70: I might consider restocking this at some point if the price was right.

69 – 40: Not undrinkable, but I wouldn’t go out of my way to buy it again.

39 – 20: What in the world were they thinking? Probably still finished this just because I hate to waste anything.

19 – 0: Wow, that’s so terrible chances are pretty good I dumped it out and gave away the rest.

My current top five favorite teas:

China Black – Rishi Tea
Earl Grey Cream – Zen Tea
Lemoncello – American Tea Room
Nonpareil Anxi Qing Xiang TieGuanYin Oolong – TeaVivre
White Tea Rose Mélange – Rishi Tea
