Earl Grey Cream

Your reviews of this tea are the reason that I wanted to check out this company. And I am glad that I did, because this tea is awesome!

Yay! Zen Tea is a great company, and this is a delicious tea. :)

We all have space heaters at work. We’ve been using them since August…

I’m thinking I will invest in one soon haha, other people have them and I think it’s time I get one, put on an extra sweater at lunch though and made more tea, so I should last through today!

Space heaters make a world of difference. I’m surprised it’s not even colder in Edmonton, actually.

Of the ones I’ve tried, Della Terra Grandma’s Pumpkin Pie was my favorite. Tealux Pumpkin Spice Rooibos is really good but is more cantaloupe than pumpkin. Fusion Tea Pumpkin Mate is good, but the mate isn’t the best base (but I like it better than their rooibos). Sleepy Hollow Pumpkin Chai – Culinary Teas is too spicy, drowns out the pumpkin. Butiki Pumpkin Creme Brulee didn’t taste like anything (but I know others loved it). Davids Pumpkin Chai had candies in it, and I found that made it taste artificial to me – again others really like it. I’ve tried two from 52teas, and thought they were pumpkin pie spice, but without the pumpkin flavor. That’s all I can think of right now. This is just MHO, you will need to try a few to find what works for you. Good Luck :))

The Presley/Nixon thing really cracked me up. I wish I got the Cowell feeling – I tend to mostly get very paranoid when I despise a much beloved tea; ‘Am I wrong? Are they wrong? Is this the right tea? Are these people BOTS?!’.

Also wow, Dexter, that’s a good list!

That really is a great post, Dexter! I found the same with the ones that I have tried, but never bothered with Della Terra’s Grandma’s Pumpkin Pie since I thought it may be too close to David’s Pumpkin Chai. But now you have me thinking otherwise!

Thanks, Dexter! Now, which one to try first? :D

Anna, don’t worry, I feel the exact same way that you do a lot. There are one or two teas in particular that everyone else considers the Nectar of the Gods that I find absolutely disgusting, and I can’t help wondering, "What am I doing wrong?!? Are we even drinking the same tea? "

I love the Simon reference. I’ve been feeling a bit like Simon as I work my way through the Here’s Hoping Traveling Tea Box (HHTTB). I’ve had very few nice things to say about any of the teas I tried, & I keep reminding myself that (with some obvious exceptions), most of the teas in there are people’s rejects.

The love of my life, Tony, doesn’t hardly ever like any of my teas, & I don’t care much for his favorites either. But we are each entitled to our own opinions, & as I pointed out a long time ago, disagreeing doesn’t make anybody wrong! What’s right for me just isn’t right for him, & I can live with that! We can agree to disagree :)

Nixon and Elvis shaking hands. I think this tea will remind me of that now! haha.

For pumpkin, my favorite is Della Terra’s Grandma’s pumpkin pie because they put something like dried canned pumpkin pie filling in it!

Wow, how did I miss the rest of these comments. Thanks guys, I too am questing for the best pumpkin tea. I keep trying them. I’ve ordered more of Della Terra Grandma’s Pumpkin Pie – it’s the current winner, and I added some of the chocolate pumpkin pie. I’ve also arranged a swap for some of Harney & Sons Pumpkin Spice. Will see how those go.
I think it’s AMAZING how different people have different experiences with teas. I agree with Terri that it doesn’t make anyone right or wrong, they just have different opinions. That’s one of the things I LOVE about Steepster is seeing those differences.
My pumpkin tea experience may be different than yours. I might hate a tea because it’s too spicy, but that spiciness might be what makes you love it. Best advice, try as many as you can – don’t worry about what everyone else thinks. Enjoy the teas that you love. :))

This is my all time favorite EGC. Love it.

I need to try some of this!

I know I LOVE the Creamy Earl Grey from David’s Tea
That WhiskeyBuzz sent me….my new FAVE…
Please tell me what is your current EGC?

California Tea House’s Vanilla Cream Earl Grey. And only then because I got 4oz for free. Don’t get me wrong, it’s quite good. All the components are there and it’s vanilla-y and creamy. But this is definitely better.

Thank you.
I have never been to the Zen Tea site…
Do you have any other recommendations for them?

I just tried to look this up on their site and got “no results”

Thank you :-)

CelebriTEA, I’m a big fan of the Strawberry Cream from Zen Tea. I think it’s out of stock right now, but I’ll definitely be picking up some more once they have it back on the shelf.

Just what I needed to know…sounds good

I really enjoy Toffee dream white tea from zen tea as well

That sounds good as well

Sorry…the kissing and drool just about made me fall out of my chair laughing!

Onto the shopping list it goes!

Wow. One week? That’s awesome.
Is this the best EGC you’ve had? I think I’ve had Murchie’s, DAVIDsTEA’s and maybe one or two others but I’m open to trying more!

Hmm, I think I can say that this is the best so far? I really enjoyed Tea Desire’s and Steeps’, but I haven’t had either in a few years, so it’s hard to truly compare. I think Tea Desire’s is quite close to Zen’s, very creamy, while Steeps is closer to David’s, heavier on the bergamot.

I think Murchie’s is the worst I’ve tried so far haha.

Haha. I can see that. I’ll try to remember this if I order from Zen anytime soon!

This flavor is still PERFECTION. Hoarding successful on this one.

Ooh, I think I’ve discovered my perfect EG Cream with Camellia Sinensis, but now you’ve intrigued me!

Things are rough and exhausting lately! I was barely able to bribe myself out of bed with tea after oversleeping. I need to figure out which cup of comfort I’m in the mood for today!

Courtney, Zen’s is long gone but I will keep CS’s in mind!

Well, shoot! But perhaps easier for me haha! I adore the one from CS (I actually drink 1-2 cups daily)!

“The world is really getting to me today” summarizes how I feel exactly. Wishing you all the comforting tea you can enjoy today.

I reply with same wishes back to you tea-sipper. Indeed I feel I am in a group of friends with same hobby and that’s lovely. And getting cup of tea as a cup of comfort, is there other beverage that can do that?

Wishing you all the positive things too tea-sipper! You inspired me to brew my own cup of Vanilla comfort tea :)

Thank you much everyone. :D

Feel better. My throat is finally unsore after almost a week, and I am so relieved.

I swear this is something going around Steepster! How is that possible? ;) Glad you’re feeling better!

Aww, hope you’ll feel better soon. Wish they’d just let you stay home, rest, and get better faster rather than have you force to do certain things RIGHT NOW.

Me too! I’m not feeling too bad. Just sore throat still and tired.

It is a good one. Enjoy!

You have definitely made me curious about this one…

go pick up a can of matcha from them while you’re at it. it’s almost half off and if you haven’t registered for Zen Tea yet, pls use my referral link

I will check it out. I’ve been going tea crazy lately. haha. So much tea on my shopping list. :-)

it is a relatively safe indulgence :)

LOL silly nicole

I’m not telling my mother about what I bought. She has already mentioned a possible need for a tea intervention…Pft. No such thing as too much tea, right? :)

i agree! though these days i’m trying to be good…so hard though…
