I am finding this a passible Earl Grey, but nothing stunning. There is a little bitter note behind the tea, but overall it’s like a standard Earl Grey. I prefer other Earl Grey blends, but this is here now, and is getting me through the afternoon.
I’ve got a lot of interests: sushi, science fiction/fantasy, medieval recreation, cooking (specifically medieval cooking), reading, British science fiction (Doctor Who!), hand sewing and now TEA!!
My favorites tend to be oolongs and flavored black teas. I like highly flavored teas more than delicate ones. Rooibos tends to taste like dirt to me, and hibiscus is very sour to my palate. But I’m always up to try all sorts of things, and will often find things that I really like which I thought I’d hate.
