From Nous Tea

This organic Earl Grey is as noble as its namesake, with natural bergamot oils illumining the robust dignity of Ceylon and South Indian black teas. Bright lime notes in the aromatic bouquet presage hints of cherry and pear on the palate – an exuberant expression of the classic blend’s fruity essence and a heartfelt tribute to a perennial favorite.

Thank you, Martin Bednář, for doing an intercontinental swap! Earl Grey Salute was the second tea I’ve sipped of the sacheted Nous Tea collection he sent. A review for the first tea I had will likely come tomorrow. I’m busy going through all this glasswork stuff in the garage and was itching to take a break to write a short review.

I have 2 things to say about Earl Grey Salute:

1) O Bergamot, Bergamot, wherefore art thou Bergamot?
2) Looking past the complete absence of anything resembling citrus, It’s an otherwise average, moderately malty breakfast-type tea.

Flavors: Malt

I am bit sad that you felt this way about this one. But it is exactly what I had in second cuppa. Nice blend of tea, but bergamot nonewhere

derk

The loss of flavor is strange, isn’t it? I’ve never had an Earl Grey fall completely flat like that. Well, it was still a nice malty cup for me.

Yeah, it is completely weird. I was opening the foil sachets just before shipping. And my second cuppa was when I took it out. So it can’t be stale or something. Really weird

I am happy to see that another tea-mail came today and with a few teas I have been drinking already. It was almost 4 years ago, when I was Steepster greenhorn and I remember ordering those teas just because outer wrappings.

Since then, they left Etsy completely and they have their own website, where I have ordered it. They have some new flavours and I look forward to try them, but looking back on some blends doesn’t hurt.

I vaguely remember that it lost it’s citrusy notes very fast for no apparent reason, so I hope it won’t happen again. I was in a mood for flavoured black tea today and this seemed like a good one to start afternoon with.

The memories have arisen when I smelled the dry bag and as well the brewed tea. It isn’t strongly aromatic after bergamot, but luckily it is there this time. The taste of this Earl Grey is rather pine-y to me than bergamot, quite sour too. The base was strong, but not overpowering the flavours and somehow coppery, bready and mostly malty.

I think that 70 is good rating for this tea. Could be, of course, better.
On the leaflet I have received with tea box, they say they have used Ceylon and South Indian teas.
