A splendid, magisterial association of Yunnan and Assam teas with bergamot.
I finally overcame my laziness and sorted out my account again (I don’t usually use Chrome but Steepster seems to despise Firefox). So… Hi everyone! I hope you have all been doing well :)
It’s fall, which apparently means French teas. Also lots and lots of Earl Grey. I think I meant to get Thé des Sages (should have double-checked my Steepster notes before ordering), but this one is still alright! The bergamot note and general profile is very clean, bold, bright, and floral-fruity – even with milk. Truly the best of both worlds with that assam/yunnan blend as a base.
On a gloomy, overcast day it’s a sunbeam in a cup. Same vibes as Saje’s Liquid Sunshine essential oil blend. The aroma of the loose leaf is a citrus lovers delight. I’ll gladly take it, even if I usually prefer some vanilla in my Greys.Flavors: Bergamot, Bright, Citrus, Floral, Fruity, Hay, Incense, Malt, Raisins, Smooth, Woody
Thanks SO much Zennenn for all the work you put into the group order and thank you to everyone who split teas. This is enabling me to try so many of the DF blends. Though I’ve been sipping teas for years, DF is pretty much new to me. I wanted to try this one first, as it was the blend I wanted most. It was also a little pricier than most of the other blends I bought. Luckily, it is as delicious as I expected. A lovely bergamot over a blend of assam and yunnan teas. I love the briskness from the assam but would have loved more yunnan. I was hoping it would have been one of those lighter, golden Yunnans to better balance the strength of the assam but I suppose I could always add some light yunnan of my own! The Earl flavor was perfect in the first cup (note to self: steep it this way next time) but I think I should have waited a little while after boiling to brew the second cup. I’m happy with this one!
Steep #1 // heaping teaspoon for a full mug// 12 minutes after boiling // 3 minute steep
Steep #2 // just boiled // 3-4 minute steep
This one sounds so good! I was tempted to go in for 25g, but the price was a little off-putting given that I have a bunch of (slightly) more affordable EG favorites lined up already.
Yes, I was a little hesitant about this one too, but it turns out I enjoy it, so I don’t regret buying it. :D
This one is really yummy!
I’m glad you like it too, Zennenn. :D
Well, hello there!
:)
