merton drank Cream of Earl Grey (Organic) by DAVIDsTEA

38 tasting notes

This tea smells strong of vanilla. I am also getting a hint of bergamot, which pairs nicely with the vanilla.

This is not a strong black tea, at least compared to some of the other black teas I have been drinking lately. The lightness, combined with the vanilla and bergamot is delicious. It has a relaxing quality to it. I think this is one of the first black teas I have had that I would classify as “relaxing”.

I have the Around the World sampler from DAVIDs that I have slowly been working my way through, and I think this might be my favorite tea from it so far.
