So I may have oversteeped because it had a bitterness to it this time. Lazy bum that I am, I was too lazy to go to the kitchen to get sugar so I ate a mini chocolate. It was really, really good with the tea and tamed the bitterness completely. I didnt stir it in, just chewed and sipped the hot tea, which made it melty. Makes me want to try the chocolate earl grey…

There is a surprising amount in a small sample. I like this one – the minty taste is strong and smooth but not overpowering.

I don’t have much experience with Earl Grey beyond Starbucks but this one seems nice. It has a very strong fragrance both dry and steeped – it was relaxing just taking in the aroma while waiting for the tea to cool enough to drink. The color was a deep orange-brown, it had a little smoky taste to it which made me think I might’ve brewed a little strong.
