The full leaf version is back at the student center. I was so psyched, but thankfully I looked into my thermos before I put my teabag in. I had just washed it back in the dorm, and a few bubbles formed when they put the hot water in, even though the water seemed clear when I rinsed it out several times. I rinsed it out again and had the tea at lunch. It’s definitely a more interesting flavor than the regular one, though I might start adding Splenda again. Or maybe I’m not digging a darker taste today. I still like it, though, and I’m glad one of my favorites of the teas they carry here is back.

When I placed an order for some bulk Blackberry Sage I decided ti try some sip-by-sip samplers of which this was one of them. It was my first experience to Earl Grey tea, and boy was I wowed! I love it so much I turned around and ordered a bulk bag a couple days after my first sip of it! I have only tried it hot and steep it 5 minutes (to make decaf I steep in a little bit of hot water for 60 seconds, dump and then steep for the 5 minutes). I usually drop 3 grams (i.e. 3 packets) of sweetener for a 14 or 15 oz mug since I like my tea on the sweet side. It has a wonderful but not overpowering citrus tang to it. So far this has become my favorite tea!

I wanted a good, strong, basic tea this morning with no frills. This is it.

Earl grey tea bags. I taste bergamot mostly and a little woodiness from the tea. No tartness, bitterness, or astringency detected, very middle of the road. I would recommend this to friends at a supermarket.

sold for $12.00/50 tea bags

Bought the loose leaf version. Its a nice pleasant earl grey. Broken larger tea leaves which I always think tastes better than the smaller pieces. Its a little
Pricier though, especially with shipping so might not get it again.

A 100 rating from you! Yep, I also really like this one (but I tried the bagged). I was surprised I liked it so much!

Roxy King

I’m a big fan of Earl Grey :) This one was pretty good- I should pick up some of the bagged to keep at work for tea emergencies lol

Tiffany :) sent me a TON of these teabags! THANK YOU!  Luckily I like them!  I will be doubling up on them though.  Eyeing the CTC leaf, it looks like half a teaspoon in each teabag.  It might have been a LITTLE strong, but note to self, use a big mug if you steep two.  But I love when an Earl is brisk.  The bergamot itself isn’t my absolute favorite, that’s tough to match, but it isn’t bad bergamot at all.  Also strong!  Well, this IS named “Earl GreyER”.  I’m glad I like it… I will have plenty around when I want a solid Earl.

When I brew RofTea in my 4 cup pot I use 6 teabags. I am not a fan of bergamot, though, so I haven’t had this one.

Mastress Alita

For whatever reason my eyes originally read, “Earl Geyser.” Which… would also be a pretty great name for a tea.

tea-sipper

Maddy, I’m probably overdo it with this one if I used 6 teabags.

Mastress alita, this tea will probably forever be Earl Geyser for me now. It IS a geyser of briskness and bergamot! haha

I made this as a latte, since that’s how I always drink Earl Grey. It tastes like the balance of flavors is wrong. I can’t really taste the black tea at all, and the bergamot is overwhelming and tastes a bit odd. Too perfumey maybe? I do like my earl grey on the floral end, so maybe that’s not the best description, but I can’t quite put my finger on it.
