I know, Earl Grey is a love it or hate it tea and everyone has a different Earl Grey that they like. I’m no different and, honestly, my favorite EG to date is Twinings Lady Gray. Hardly posh! And I do like the vanilla/creme and garden Earl Greys that have been popping up recently. That said, I could barely sip this Earl Grey-it was like drinking shampoo. It’s SO fragrant and overwhelming and the perfume just overtakes the tea flavor. This is one of the very few teas I have not been able to drink-I tried diluting it, I tried milk… I think I’m going to stick it in a dish and pretend it’s potpourri. A rare miss for me from Davids.

Bio
I love all caffeine but mainly tea. I’m kind of a tea junkie and I’ll try anything, although I’m more likely to be found with a black tea, pu’erh or oolong than with anything herbal. I live in the US and enjoy traveling and picking up new teas. I’m not a tea snob-I still enjoy a cup of Constant Comment now and then!

One of my favourite Earl Greys is Twinings Earl Grey :)
I think they do a great job with the tea to bergamot oil ratio! It might be like ‘comfort food’ but it’s always consistent and dependable when you’re craving an EG!
