drank Earl Grey by Harney & Sons
13 tasting notes

I just finished the entire tin of this tea, and it has really grown on me. I really enjoy the subtlety and the high quality of the black tea in this blend. I also love the fact that the bergamot is not overpowering. This is an incredibly simple tea with no fruitiness or floweriness whatsoever. This is exactly what an Earl Grey ought to be. The only bad thing I’ll say about it is that it is incredibly delicate when it comes to the steeping. If you don’t do it exactly right, you’ll end up with a hot cup of disappointment. Once you nail the precise water temperature and steeping time, this tea never fails to impress.

Bio

I’m a recent ex-Mormon, which means that I only recently began drinking tea (oddly enough, tea is verboten in Mormon doctrine). I started drinking tea (Earl Grey, hot) because of Jean Luc Picard, but I keep drinking tea because it’s delicious. I am a supertaster, which means bitter teas (I’m looking at you, Darjeeling) are much more bitter to me than they are to the average human. I’ve enjoyed getting into tea thus far and I look forward to tasting a great many more teas in years to come.
