I love Earl Greys, as I find them to be great wake-me-up teas.
When I saw that there was a “Creamed” earl grey, and essentially it was just that kick of vanilla that made it “creamy”, I was sold. Vanilla and I go way back.
Excited, I brew my first Creamed Earl Grey latte. It was very nice! Much more exotic than the usual Earl Grey, which is surprising, because there isn’t a massive ingredients change. The vanilla softens the blow of the otherwise pungent bergamot.
It mixes very well with other caramel-based teas, or even nutty-based teas, in my opinion.
It is the best as a latte, but drinking it on its own is nice too, as the bergamot is strong and gives the tea body regardless of sweetening.
Will likely buy it again when I’m out!
i’m the same.. it has to be a pretty special plain earl grey for me to love it plain.. otherwise, i like them a little flavoured as well
