drank Earl Grey Orange by Basilur
2080 tasting notes

A sipdown! (M: 5 Y: 45)
An office sipdown and honestly while it’s not bad, it’s not anything I would reach for again and I mean that for all 4 Earl Greys from Basilur; while I have sipped down only 2 from 4 and you can read my notes for these today. The remaining two will follow shortly.

This seems to be best somehow, the orange is fruity and juicy, and its combo with bright bergamot works quite well. Sadly, I can’t tell that about base tea, that one was / is probably same for all 4, tasting very flat and tannic; something I don’t come across often when drinking teas by Basilur.

That’s a pity about the base tea. You’d think with all their fancy lab equipment and wharehousing and quality management and lovely riparian setting (all pictured on their website), that they would seek out a solidly impressive base upon which to build their blends. Pretty packaging, too, which is sometimes a warning flag. Good to know their other teas do meet your standards!

I am drinking almost everything. Tea bag collector who moved to wonderful world of loose leaf.

Trying to rate differently tea bags and loose leaf as tea bags have usually worse quality.

Photographer now and then. Postcrossing and geocaching member. Very curious person. Logistics student (should finish in June 2021).

Buried in tea right now. Is in my cupboard (trying to be updated) which sparkled your interest? Write me, I would gladly share with you. But I don’t want anything in return now :)
