drank Organic Cream of Earl Grey [duplicate] by DAVIDsTEA
52 tasting notes

I think this tea may be cursed. I spilled the first cup on my dog, the second was dumped in my keyboard (and fried my mouse as collateral damage) and the third was just…underwhelming.

As someone who’s a huge fan of Earl Grey I came into this with high hopes, but it really didn’t deliver; the cream notes tasted flat and the EG was underwhelming, especially compared to Adagio’s Earl Grey Moonlight or even Paromi’s Earl Grey.

It didn’t suck to finish the cup, but I definitely didn’t re-steep and I’m glad I only have the small sample to get through. So yeah, not a favorite.

I’m also a HUGE fan of EG but not this one, for some reason…

I’ve yet to find an Earl Grey Cream that lived up to my high expectations. :P

The dog was fine, I promise! Confused, offended and smelling faintly of bergamot…but fine. :D

Self-employed, sleep deprived and always on the go.

Trying to cut down on caffeine – trying being the operative word – but I’m generally an Earl Grey drinker with a strong aversion to coconut, jasmine and chocolate in my tea.

I brew almost exclusively Western style, unsweetened.
