Backlog from yesterday morning when I had this tea while in the TGV (meaning Train à Grande Vitesse).
As usual the guy at the bar made a too low temperature (micro wave…)but this is a lovely Earl Grey, not sweet, with a hint of bitterness. Nice (would have loved to taste it at an almost boiling temperature…but that’s it !)
This is really great the French train company choiced a nice tea brand to travel with !
First, please forgive me for my English and all the grammatical mistakes you’ll find in my posts.
As English isn’t my mother tongue it sometimes makes things more difficult to express cleverly and accurately what I feel.
I was mainly in black flavoured teas, green as well if not bitter.
I’m now drinking much straight teas because my palate is now developed enough to appreciate them .
My favourite brands are : Taiwan tea Crafts, Teavivre, Mariage Frères,Theodor,Butiki Teas,Dammann Frères, Betjeman & Barton.
My ratings are as follow :
100 to 95 : my darlings; always in my cupboard (or very often ! )
94 to 90 : Excellent tea
89 to 80 : very good tea, a pleasure to drink it
79 to 70: not bad even quite nice, why not having it sometimes, but well,it’s not so urgent !
69 to 50 : Meh, deceptive or just not for me – but has some qualities
49 to 30 : I just don’t appreciate it
Under 30 : is this thing supposed to be tea ?!?!?
