That recommendation is for Earl Grey lovers. Individuals who have long since established a general horror for The Earl know what’s best for themselves in this situation.

Crazy backlog sipdown combo from four days ago. Why I’m posting it now when I’m sleep deprived, I don’t know. I hypothesize it has a lot to do with procrastination and little to do with logic and self-preservation.

When I smelled this one for the first time I was a bit worried; the bergamot is like a slapstick puck up the nose (except my nose and skull remain gratefully intact, could you imagine the actual damage that would do?). Err.. however, I found as long as I didn’t add milk, this would usually turn out to be a pleasantly fresh and fruity evening pick me up. I guess I don’t mind bergamot and Earl Grey teas after all (as long as milk is absent). Possibly a repurchase for the summer season.

So sorry about your sleep deprivation :-(
This is most definitely one of my favourite Earl. Don’t know if I’m crazy, but I get hints of blueberries when I drink it, it’s very on the fruity side.

I was delightfully surprised by the amount of fruitiness in this one; it reminded me of berries too but not a specific kind. I never would’ve guessed there was cocoa in this either.

Have you ever iced some?

TheTeaFairy

Funny you should ask, Teajo teas are amazing iced! This one is delicious and surprisingly, the bergamot is even more subdued when chilled. You should also try Raspberry Chocolate Bark and Juicy Peach. (If you like peach, that one is simply FANTASTIC iced!)

That’s good to know! I have about another 12 Teajo teas in my drawer right now, opened up a few and had a feeling I should wait for warmer weather (now I wish I had picked up the juicy peach!).

Bio

I started my Steepster loose leaf adventure back in 2012. I can’t say I’m completely new anymore, but I still view oolong as a magical, extraterrestrial creature that unfurls in water.

My favourites are teas like Milk Oolong, Silver Needle,and Japanese Sencha/Gyokuro, or fruity and floral flavoured ones. However, I generally enjoy ALL the teas, including a good old cup of Earl Grey or Breakfast blend.

Subjective Rating System:
I don’t give a lot of low ratings out, since a) I tend to grab tea I know will appeal to me, and b) I don’t have a lot of strong dislikes.

90-100: Favourites. The Desert Island Teas.
80-89: Loved teas. Possibly staple-worthy.
70-79: Good teas, but I’m less likely to repurchase. Minor quibbles.
60-69: Ok teas. Likely a few preference and/or quality issues.
50-59: Cup of meh. Will do in a pinch.
11-49: Varying levels of undrinkable tea.
1-10: Nightmare tea from the chaos realms. This tea is the embodiment of the primordial swamp, an unholy abomination. It’s very gross and I’m almost positive it doesn’t exist.
