drank Earl Grey (No. 69) by TeaGschwendner
46 tasting notes

I tried hard to kill this. I did not succeed.

So, when I first got it, I under-brewed it, because I hate bitter tea. It tasted great…not nearly as thick with the bergamot as an Earl Grey I tried recently from elsewhere.

THEN, on my next brewing, I put it in to brew, and then got distracted and forgot about it, and let it brew for close to 10 minutes. IT CAME OUT FINE! No gross bitterness that I could detect.

An Earl Grey that I can abuse and still have it be drinkable? Yes, please. (Also, it’s supposed to have won awards…I’m perhaps not that fine-tuned in tea drinking yet, but from me it wins an award for being indestructible.)
