Earl Grey Creme

I am in LOVE with this blend! I was super apprehensive at first, though. Earl Grey is my most favoritest tea in the world, so adding anything to it could seriously shake my world.

Money has been tight, so I have recently written a few companies and inquired about samples. Joy’s Teaspoon generously sent me Strawberry Oolong and the Earl Grey Cream. I am suspicious that someone actually read my profile and tea preferences, because I can’t think of any two of their teas that I would like to try more.

Anyway, back to the tea. I brewed this early Sunday morning before I went out to sit on the porch with my husband. It was an unseasonably cool and cloudy morning, and with the addition to this tea it was a perfect experience. The blend has the full body of a solid Earl Grey but with a lovely creamy malt. To my surprise, though, it is just as refreshing as a non-cream counterpart. I was so pleased that I forced my husband to try some, and even he really liked it, and he’s not big on Earl Grey.

I will be purchasing this blend in the future. Thank you, Joy’s Teaspoon, you’ve earned a customer!

This is the second tea I have tried from Joy’s teaspoon and yet again I was not disappointed. The first thing I noticed when I opened the package is how fantastic this tea smelled. Citrusy/Floral Bergamot followed by the strong sweet scent of vanilla. I brewed this tea at 205 degrees for four and half minutes and found it to be perfect. It tasted smooth, creamy and had a well balanced blend of bergamot and vanilla.
The only thing that kept me from giving this tea a higher score was the fact I developed a slight slick feeling in my mouth about 20 minutes after I was finished drinking it.
Regardless, I really enjoyed this Earl Grey Creme tea.
**Update: Ok, so I tried this tea again this morning and that slight slick feeling that I noticed the first time I drank it was gone. I will definitely be ordering this again.

This is a well rounded earl grey crème with a natural vanilla flavor. The tea has the deep brown color when brewed and the flavoring is just right with a nice, subtle balance. Many teas like this have a fake vanilla flavor or worse. If you are a fan of earl grey crème, order this tea as it has that full bodied, smooth taste with the right hue. I have tried many different brands, and Joy’s teaspoon is my go to for this tea. Naomi the owner gives great service, and always sends a thank you.
