Company description not available.
I popped over to Vancouver Island a week back to attend the Victoria Tea Festival, and while getting off the bus, I noticed a chocolate shop. I decided to pop in, because I still had about ten minutes before the doors opened, and… ended up pre-gaming the festival by buying this tea (plus some rosemary dark chocolate, which was really nice).
I brought the little travel-tin, and I find myself continuously reaching for it. This is a sweet, subtle earl grey cream, and it has a different kind of vanilla note that I don’t often encounter, but is very nostalgic of… Something. I don’t quite know what. The closest is that it’s orange creamsicle-like tea from DavidsTea?
The base is light, not too bitter, perhaps a little flavourless, but the vanilla/cream lingers pleasantly, and the “bergamot orange” listed on the ingredients is definitely “orange”, and not so much “bergamot”, weirdly.
I was at back-to-back festivals, and forgot to review some of the teas I sipped throughout them, so we’ll see if I ever catch up on that backlog. Enjoying this pre-festival tea.
Sometimes earl grey cremes have this note that reminds me strongly of root beer, and this is one of them. I think it has something to do with the vanilla flavoring. I am a root beer fan though, so always happy to encounter this. There are also heather flowers in here but I’m not clear on how they’re contributing to the flavor, mainly because I’m not exactly sure what heather tastes like.
