I’ve been on a tea hunt ever since Majestea’s Buckingham Palace Garden Party was no longer available. I bought this a while ago to try since I love Tea Sparrow and only got around to tasting it now and WOW. It’s so flavourful. Definite bergamot and enough vanilla to emphasise the flavours. An easy favourite with milk and sugar that I always keeping reaching for.
Flavors: Bergamot, Vanilla
For the June prompt “A tea that reminds you of your best friend.” Normally I’d choose houjicha, which is his favorite kind of tea, but I’ve been so gangbusters on sipdowns the last few years I’m all out of houjicha! So I picked this tea because he kindly gifted it to me. We both aren’t fans of 100g bags of tea, which was the only size this was available, so he split it with me so we’d both have a more manageable 50g.
He told me he bought it at a tea festival in 2019 because he was impressed with the cream flavor from the sample he drank at the booth. I’m certainly getting a strong vanilla/cream aroma off the top of the cup.
On sip, the bergamot is quite strong and brisk, which mellows out the vanilla to taste… but it is tasty bergamot. The vanilla has such a lovely aroma, and mixed with the bergamot I am reminded of an Earl Grey frosting, but it is hidden a bit by the dominant bergamot on the tongue; it pops up towards the end of the sip with a refreshing sweetness from time to time, and seems to be more evident as the cup cools. The base is lovely! Wirey, full leaf Assam, providing a lovely malty/bready backdrop that is nice and smooth. I don’t get any astringency from this tea, with the citrusy bergamot providing the only bit of bitey tang.
It’s a good cup of Earl Grey. Classic. Easy to drink plain on account of the base.
