This is from Tiffany :).  Thank you!  I really tried with this one and I just am not a fan of Dessert By Deb’s bergamot.  To my tastebuds, honestly, sad to say, it tastes like bug spray.  I’m not sure if these other garden elements are enhancing that bug spray flavor or being overpowered by it.  Such a shame as I really wanted to like these blends.  Luckily Tiffany only sent me two Earls by Dessert By Deb so that was enough for me to try them and say I will pass on Dessert By Deb’s other Earls.  So now I know. At least the black tea is dark enough and offers some sort of caffeine.   But I couldn’t even boil a second steep of this, which is rare for me.  It’s a pretty gardeny looking blend anyway. 
Steep #1 // 1 1/2 teaspoons for a full mug // 30 minutes after boiling // 2 minute steep

Ugh, I’m in such a tea funk lately. I don’t really want to force myself to drink it, but I also don’t want to stop drinking it completely and lose interest, and I’ve been doing so well with sipdowns that it seems a shame to stop now…

Anyway. Trying this as my first tea of the day. It was a free sample that Deb included in my last order, and something I wouldn’t have chosen for myself because of the lavender. So it’s probably a good thing that I let her choose my samples this time around, heh, to try new things outside my comfort zone.

But actually, the lavender here is very mild. At the same time, this is a bit odd-tasting to me. I think it’s because the black base is quite musty and hay-like? The bergamot and lemon are well-balanced though, and I like the slight herbal quality of the lemongrass, and the very slight floral additions.

I’m not sure it’s something I would order though, because of the weird base… Maybe it’s the combination with the lemongrass that makes it taste so musty to me? I don’t recall this being a thing with her other black teas… (shrugs) I really like the blend otherwise.

Flavors: Bergamot, Floral, Hay, Herbaceous, Lavender, Lemon, Lemongrass, Musty, Smooth, Wood

I think the funkiness is a common malaise once the weather starts warming up.

It probably doesn’t help that the weather has been uncharacteristically rainy and overcast here for the past couple of weeks… -.-zzzZZZ

Southwest Missouri, too. Just when I was getting excited about wearing capris and skirts again.

It is a time of year thing?! I’m feeling it too. I almost don’t care what tea I drink because none of them are going to hit the ever moving target of what I feel like drinking.

I’m doing slightly better today. I think it’s just because I was “sick” (vaccine reaction) for a day and it threw me off, and it took a few days to recover my tea appetite…

I think its called hedonistic adaptation and it happens with things other than tea too. I’ve often wondered how people can drink the same thing every day (coffee, tea, diet coke, whatever) not craving variety, while us hedonists want new and better things every day, and then adapt to the new things making them less desirable. Supposedly being aware of hedonistic adaptation, along with savoring and gratitude for the things you do have is the way to go. And while I know (and have read the scientific studies) that accumulating things won’t lead to happiness, I can’t get my brain to equate that to tea :)

#tiffanys2021sipdown Tea #187 overall / Tea #11 for May
Friday 5/7 — Dessert by Deb Lady Grey’s Garden nice size sample packet, 20g(?) enough for a cold brew pitcher. I have an order coming soon (from Jan 2021 winter brunch collection) with my March/April sub box, I have just placed 5/10 an order for her new collection (and another one pending waiting for the next weekly offers/deals newsletter), and figure I better get working on the 324283903248 teas I have from her in almost 2 years of DbyD. Not my cuppa, definitely a floral earl grey black tea.

I rarely have black teas without milk or sugar. So, I wasn’t sure how I would feel about this one since I couldn’t add milk to it since it has lemon peel. However, even without milk or sugar, this tea is so flavourful and aromatic. I absolutely love all of Deb’s earl grey blends because the bergamot really stands out.

Flavors: Bergamot, Citrus, Floral, Lemon
