Picked up a sample of this when I ordered a mug and the Cookie Box. They have a few in-house teas that they offer as samples, and this is one. I don’t get why they don’t offer more teas in this format, considering it’s the same one they use for boxes. But I digress…
This is a nice, extra-citrusy Earl Grey with a dash of creamy vanilla. I don’t get yuzu specifically, rather I would guess lemon. Yuzu has a very distinct pine-like flavor to it to me, and I don’t taste any of that here. It’s still a well-balanced cuppa though, with the bergamot and lemon taking center stage, and the cream sort of rounding the edges and giving a touch of sweetness. There’s a tartness to it that makes it taste almost like there was real lemon juice added.
I don’t think I would order a big bag of it, but I’ve enjoyed the sample. Good thing too, as I have another one on the way as part of the Brunch Box. Don’t ask me why, but I’ve been very interested in Sips by’s teas lately…
