Sipping this one at work. I have to say, Steven Smith has some of the best bagged tea I’ve tried! Their sachets are made of fabric and nice and large with plenty of room for expansion. The leaves inside are large and uncrushed and have a nice aroma. This is definitely one of the better Earl Grey teas I’ve tried (and I love Earl Grey!) Thank you to whoever slipped these tea bags into the Discovery TTB…I have a new brand to add to my list!

Flavors: Bergamot, Smooth

Preparation
Boiling 3 min, 0 sec 1 tsp 12 OZ / 354 ML
Mastress Alita

I put them in, because I really like SST! They really just have bagged options for their loose leaf, since they don’t crush their tea to a pulp. Unfortunately my grocery only offers three of their teas (The Lord Bergamot, Fez, and Meadow) but I’ve tried some of their others teas and haven’t had one yet I haven’t liked. Their blends seem to work for me. I particularly like this EG!

I had never even heard of them until the TTB and I don’t think my local grocery chain carries them, but I might try ordering online. Thanks for sharing! :)

Ya, they are out of Portland and a bit “high end” for groceries; I only have three kinds in the “health food” area of Fred Meyers in my town, hardly much selection of what they have to offer. And I know of one restaurant in Boise (two hours from here!) that offers their tea, so I like eating there when I’m visiting, since I know I won’t just get Lipton or Bigelow. On their website you can get bagged or loose leaf, it’s the same tea just packaged differently.

“You can never get a cup of tea large enough or a book long enough to suit me.” ~ C.S. Lewis

I was introduced to loose leaf tea by a roommate in 2012, but it wasn’t until I stumbled upon Steepster in 2014 that I discovered a world of tea that went beyond Teavana and the grocery store.

My tastes continue to evolve, but black tea is currently my favorite. I am especially drawn to strong, malty breakfast blends to wake me up in the morning and flavored dessert teas to sip throughout the day.

Just about everything in my cupboard is available to swap, so feel free to ask!
