drank Earl Grey Cupcake by 52teas
2958 tasting notes

A nice bergamot black tea with a slight sweetness, some acidity, and a bit of vanilla/cake. I need to make it again as a latte or with a touch of sweetener to see if I can coax out the cupcake flavour. It make an excellent cup and I will be picking this over other EG in the future. This is a great EG blend, and it recommend it to all who enjoy bergamot.

Flavors: Bergamot, Earl Grey, Powdered Sugar, Tannin, Vanilla

It’s funny, I used to hate bergamot, but was able to slowly adapt my palate to it, and now I find it quite nice. Just ordered some of this one this weekend; I loved the coconut EG they made not too long ago and have been hoarding it for fear of using it up. Maybe this will ease the loss so I’ll finally be ready to send off Foggy Coconut?

I’m including Foggy Coconut on this year’s holiday box poll (again, it was on last year’s too) because I personally miss it and am hoping it will get a lot of votes so that I can reblend it! :)

Bio

I am a biochem major hoping for a career in research genetics and evolutionary biology. I love science fiction and spend too much of my time reading comic books. I’m a passionate keeper of spiders, cacti, and exotic plants. I eat a vegan, plant-based diet for moral and environmental reasons (I mention this only because it is relevant to which flavoured teas I drink).

I drink mostly flavoured and low caffeine teas/tisanes, but I will try anything twice. As far as pure teas go, I gravitate towards whites, yellows, and jade oolongs. I’m always open for trades and sample sales/exchanges. Message me any time :)

My cupboard is mostly up to date. For a more comprehensive list, see my stash spreadsheet here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1-HjWKR3um-xEnj6HC9vMvKXOAyj_bpW5u_2ixEC20-k/edit?usp=sharing
