TreeGal drank Berry Earl Grey by Joy's Teaspoon

249 tasting notes

I’m in love! I like Earl Grey teas, but have a hard time finding one that’s the right balance for me. This is a very smooth but strong black tea with definite berry and bergamot. It doesn’t have the perfumy flavor that bergamot sometimes has (and I don’t really care for), but it’s still clearly bergamot. The berry (raspberry?) balances it quite nicely. I like it with a bit of sugar, and it’s fine with or without milk. I thought I was done with tea orders for now, but…well…

Flavors: Bergamot, Raspberry

Preparation

200 °F / 93 °C 3 min, 30 sec 2 tsp 10 OZ / 295 ML

Bio

Wife, mom of 2 crazy young kids (and 3 cats, if they count). Used to be a professional tree hugger, now I stay at home hobbit-like and teach the kids to love the trees. Also hobbit-like, I love reading, tea, second breakfasts, cooking and food in general, and gardens. (I can’t really say I love gardening since where I live, it’s too dratted hot for too much of the year to actually do it.) I am always on the search for a good flavored decaf black tea. Suggestions are more than welcome!

I tend to like my teas strong, so I use more than most people when I brew. Don’t be put off a tea because I say I used 4 tsp to brew 12 oz or something – that’s just me.

PS – Unlike a hobbit, my toes are not furry. I just feel the need to clarify.
