Received this one in my swap with Courtney. I love assam. I am sure I have said in many of my reviews that CTC assam is one of my all time favourite teas.

This one is not a CTC version, but the leaves are quite small. There is not much smell to the tea dry. Brewed there is a very, very light assam smell. Slightly sweet.

The brewed tea is OK. I had quite high hopes for this one. I am not getting any malt, which is the most disappointing part. It is only moderately bold. There is a mild sweet honey flavour. I am not getting much spice either that is described in the description of this tea. To me, this one is almost bordering on a Ceylon. I am also getting a light metallic tang in the aftertaste, which I have had with some assams before.

The tea itself it good, I just prefer a much bolder and maltier assam. I think it may have been better with a larger quantity of tea, I used 1 tsp which is what I normally use.

I was expecting a slight orange taste yet I still wanted to taste the tea. It smelled like a Vitamin C tablet and tasted like Vitamin C as well, very medicinal taste for me but might be worth it for someone that likes a zesty blend.

A tea bag my co-worker gave me. It tastes like berry juice! I swear there are more blueberries in there that anything else.

This is another from Annie’s gift woot.

I don’t think I’ve ever had a straight Darjeeling, and I’ve seen such mixed reviews on how people feel about them I was completely unsure what to expect. I am enjoying this cup overall. I’m getting the subtlest hint of mineral in the background, but essentially it’s a nice, simple cup of black tea. There is a wee bit of astringency here, but nothing offensive.

Citrus Mango Flavour
Ingredients: sunflower, cornflower, rose petals.

It is better than other Green Tea since I drink those.

First, You can drink with hot water.
Second, drip cold water in the teapot and enjoy it.

Overall, this is an okay herbal tea.

I generally don’t like Chai teas unless I’m making Milk tea, and I did not think this tea would taste good with Milk. This is not spicy so its okay.

I also don’t like liquorice but the blend of other herbs balances out the flavor; the ginger adds a bit of spice to offset the sweet liquorice.

For me, this will be an acquired taste but it isn’t a bad tea.

if relaxing is what you expect on camomile tea, this would be perfect

Had a lovely cup of this, shared with three coworkers, at work this afternoon. This is a lovely tea, especially in the afternoon, and even if you aren’t a huge bergamot fan.

There’s a great little chocolatier next to my workplace that has come up with Earl Grey pralines that are mind-blowingly good. As it takes them three days to make them, and as they are very popular, they often runs out. They didn’t have any today, so we made up for it with a wonderful cup of this.

Still one of the best Earl Grey’s out there (unless you like your Earl Grey super strong, or with vanilla). Prepared it earlier today at work, where even a non-tea drinking person caved and gave it a go. He, like all the others who have tasted, have fallen in love with this gentle tea. A great tea to relax with, and hence just what we needed now.

No other Earl Grey that I’ve had holds a candle to this tea. Had a cup of this in the afternoon, and rebreed it three more times (for colleagues). A tremendously good tea.
It reminds me of the first spring movement in Vivaldi’s Four Seasons for some reason – light, cheeky, joyous.

Had a comforting cup of this at work. Hands down, best earl grey that I’ve ever had.

Was in Berlin for about a week, and was quick to restock on this fantastic Earl Grey (2×100g packets, for those interested). My current supply was at an all time low, and I made a celebratory round of it at work this evening, to general joy and content. Nothing like wrapping your hands around a hot cup of tea on a cold and dark afternoon.
Best Earl Grey that I own – hands down. If you can get your hands on some – do.

This is still my favourite Earl Grey, and the best Earl Grey that I’ve ever tasted, even going on mouthfeel alone (soooo silky).
We have a chocolatier next to my workplace, and we oftentimes sneak in for a taste after lunch and before going back to the office grind. Our top favourite pralines are Earl Grey tea and dark chocolate, and berry tea and dark chocolate. Well it takes the chocolatier three days to prepare the Earl Grey tea pralines (our number one favourite), and so she’s often out of stock when we arrive. Today we once again missed her latest batch, and so, after consoling ourselves with Rum Marzipan pralines (such a sacrifice, I know), we went back to the office and brewed some of this fantastic tea. And being the geeks that we are we of course prefaced our sipping with “TEA. EARL GREY. HOT” as usual.

Backlogging. This is a great combination for a summer Earl Grey, but I think that in the winter my hand will reach out for Twining’s Earl Grey, as it has more body, and less acidity. Still need to form an opinion on the third Earl Grey that I have – Fortnum’s.

I’m in the process of moving my desk at work, and so I’m clearing up a good amount of clutter. Imagine my surprise when I found three pouches of good tea and one tea sample hidden at the back of one of my drawers? I immediately stopped moving, and had a cup of this lovely tea, brewed Western style, and shared with my moving mate.
Well, whoever though of coupling bright, acidic, delicate Darjeeling with not-too-much bergamot was a GENIUS. They go fantastically together, dancing with refreshing delight on our parched and dusty tongues and throats. The bergamot leaves room for the Darjeeling to sing, and the Darjeeling flavours are enhanced, not overpowered by the bergamot. One of the few cases where flavouring and tea meet together to create a bigger, better whole (in my opinion – I don’t like flavoured/scented/smoked tea).

This is my favorite tea so I gave it a 100~ haven’t had a better tea so far.

It has a smooth, and slightly creamy flavor. The Orange and Vanilla blend well to make a refreshing tea without the caffeine. This is the tea that got me interested in Rooibos as a caffeine free alternative to Black Tea.

Love this tea. Drank nothing else for the first week after I got it.

My favourite Vanilla rooibos. Very good for blending or on its own.

Very good for blending. Nice quality.
