I wanted to try Tealyra’s Earl Grey because I feel like I haven’t found the perfect EG that is currently for sale. It’s like bergamot is just disappointing now, when a few years ago so many bergamot teas were delicious. For example, Zen had the BEST cream earl grey, but then their supplier changed to a very different EG. This EG seems exactly like that replaced EG, and I don’t mean the perfect delicious EG…. I mean the bad replacement. The bergamot is just not the bergamot I’m looking for. There should also be a cream flavor they mention in the description, but I’m just tasting the unappealing bergamot. At least the black tea is brisk enough for me. Maybe this Earl could be the perfect Earl for someone else, but it ain’t for me.
Steep #1 // 1 1/2 teaspoons for a full mug// 12 minutes after boiling // 3 minute steep
Steep #2 // just boiled // 4 minute steep

I think my favorites right now are Kusmi’s Anastasia and Harney & Sons’s Winter White Earl Grey.
But I don’t think I’ve ever found a Cream Earl Grey that I’ve actually liked…
I haven’t tried either of those. Onto the wish list…
I can send you some samples if you’d like. Just let me know!
Winter White is really, really good. I second that recommendation.
Cameron B – I better not. haha. I would swap samples with you but I have to get to the PO early tomorrow, so it’s too late for me to do any sample packaging. Thanks so much for the offer though :D
No problem, let me know if you change your mind. It doesn’t have to be a swap!
I have enjoyed the Winter White Earl Grey as well. I like Earl Grey Supreme by Harney well enough, but I am not the biggest bergamot fan in the world. I used to love Nina’s Earl Grey when it had a Keemun base, but they switched to Ceylon and made me sad. A lottle bergamot goes a long way for me, and preferably with something else thrown in for other flavor.
