I am trying this one out today from our discussions about Harney needing an Earl Grey Cream or an Earl Grey Vanilla.
Today I tried 2 parts Earl Grey Supreme to 1 part Vanilla Black. It is pretty good, but it seems light on the bergamot. It is still pleasant, but I am thinking I could handle the flavors being just a little more intense. I would try a different ratio, but right now the vanilla is about right. Has anyone tried Harney’s regular Earl Grey? Is the bergamot more intense in it?
It does seem like a sophisticated version of my Metro Earl Grey Creme, and certainly much more grown up tasting than Upton’s Earl Grey Creme Vanilla (which reminds me of creamsicles). I woud likely drink this again, which is a good sign…..
Hmmm, you’re making me wonder what cutting a vanilla bean into some earl grey would taste like! Not EGS – I think it’s too pith-y and elegant (plus my husband is now addicted to it iced!). Maybe my little bit of Andrews and Dunham EG I have left…hmmm!
Glad to see you tried this! I was thinking about it today. I have EGS but I think I may try it tomorrow with the sample of plain Earl Grey they sent.
