Hi Steepster. I haven’t been here in years (3 years as a matter of fact, how time flies) but I just popped in to recommend this tea. I am not a fan of the classic Earl Grey because I find the bergamot is usually overpowering and kind of bitter in the finish. This has a very light touch of bergamot and has more the flavor of an orange, not so much lemon. Drinking this with Silk soy milk and a touch of stevia. It is quite delicious and refreshing. Reminds me a bit of a Terry’s chocolate orange. I got a sample bag, but think I’ll need to order a tin once this is gone.

Flavors: Bergamot, Orange

Welcome back!

I, too, like Silk soy milk in my Earl Greys. Non dairy FTW!

Hi there!

Trader Joe’s has a slightly sweetened soy creamer that I have been loving on for years now. It’s my favorite!

The dahlia garden at Golden Gate Park is a treat! Several years ago I’d take my old dog companion Dahlia to the dahlia garden :)

I also really like this tea, because a light shade of bergamot and more orange flavor, not so much lemon is very attractive to me. But the main feature of my tea is that I drink tea only when I read books. Last time I read “The Scarlet Letter”, you can check that site https://papersowl.com/examples/the-scarlet-letter/ out and read about this book. It was very cool. Drinking tea while reading a book is very cool.

Bio

My profile pic is of a pink dahlia at Golden Gate Park.

Hobbies include: tea, making art, animals, vegan things, buddhism, nature, creativity, books, writing, cooking, meditation, yoga.

I am a fan of many different teas but my favorites are blacks and oolongs, chai, also like darjeeling and pu-erh. I’n always learning and expanding my horizons!

Dislikes include: bergamot, jasmine, highly tannic or bitter teas, overly judgmental and bitter people. :)

Live in San Francisco, I’m a SINK (single income, no kids) and love the urban life, but traveling out to the middle of nowhere is always fun too.

I tend to not drink things I know I will hate so a lot of my tea ratings are on the higher side. Here’s my rating system, sorta

95-100 I love this tea and would like to keep it around

94-90 An excellent tea which I may or may not repurchase

89-80 Pretty good, above average

79-70 Acceptable

69-60 Mundane – Will probably drink it if I have it

59-50 Ick

49 and below Nasty
