This was my first time trying earl grey! I have tried the Spiced Earl Grey Muffin with both milk and hot.
I think I liked this tea, but it is not one of my favourites from the Dessert by Deb collection. Although I think this might come down to a flavour preference as opposed to the tea itself being bad. Spiced Earl Grey Muffin is still a great tea, and I can see why people rated it so highly.
When you smell it, you definitely get a strong bergamot note. When I tasted this, it tasted like bergamot, lavender, with a hint of spice. I think the bergamot was the most prominent note, and it made it hard to taste the other spices in the blend. However, I think I got a hint of clove from this?
Overall, I enjoyed my first earl grey tea experience! I think I might not have enjoyed this one because I like SUPER spicy chai teas. But I felt like the spice in this element was very mild and just there to accent the other flavours.
I also hope Deb releases a spicy chai with a black tea base soon! :)
Flavors: Bergamot, Cardamom, Clove, Lavender
I love Earl Grey, but it does tend to be a divisive flavor.
I could see that! This was my first time trying it, and it was quite good! But I think I still prefer orange pekoe haha
