From DAVIDsTEA

Everyone has tried Earl Grey. And yet this one is different. It’s made with an exceptional blend of rare, ethically-grown, high-altitude black teas. Pure oil of bergamot, a citrus fruit, gives it an aroma that’s headier than usual. And the cornflower petals add a subtly perfect fragrance. Discover the difference. You’ll never go back.

Meh, I am disappointed with this one. It’s not terrible by any means but just nothing special. Too astringent, too much orange… Harney & Sons EG Supreme is so much better.
So what is your favorite Earl?

EG Supreme is a great one, and their new Victorian London Fog as well. I loved Nina’s Earl Grey before they switched from the Keemun base to the Ceylon base, but other Steepsterites loved it just as well with Ceylon. The O Dor has an awesome one. My daughter loves EG much more than I do. For me it has to be JUST RIGHT.

I have the Victorian London Fog. It’s nice but I prefer the EG supreme. Have not tried The O Dor yet so I’ll have to put it on the wish list.

I have always enjoyed Twinnings EG.

Dry this tea has a very off-putting, strong, astringent, almost orange smell to it. Once brewed it does start to smell like a regular Earl Grey tea, and not near anywhere as harsh as it smells dry, it actually smells quite pleasant.

I brewed this cup for about 5 minutes at 96 degrees in a clear mug to have it produce a wonderful rum-like color to which I added a spoonful of brown sugar and a splash of milk to get a beautifully creamy-brown cup of perfection.

This tea is actually quite nice, it’s even become my favourite Earl Grey to date. It’s a soft, light cup of tea with just a touch of citrus to it. Wonderfully soothing.

Flavors: Citrusy
