My tastes are more into the blacks, black flavored, and bolder teas today. I wanted an Earl Grey but not an everyday average one…this fits the bill at the moment.
Bought this at a TOPS yesterday in Fredonia, NY. They had 4 Revolution Teas for sale. 2 I have tried and then 2 others – could only buy one…not much cash on me…so I sprung for this one! Glad I did. It’s stronger than a Lady Grey but not Bergamotty like the super strong Earl Grey’s. It’s a nice blend of Earl Grey and Lavender. Glad I bought it.
I like this tea as well, for the same reasons you mention. Revolution seems to use a good quality leaf in their teas, and then they don’t go crazy trying to hide inferior black tea behind a ton of bergamot. Their Ginger Peach is pretty good, too.
This is the tea you want when a hurricane is bearing down on your dwelling – sweet, light and soothing.
I don’t detect a lot of pear flavor, but I suspect that is what is adding the sweetness.
The package recommendation for steeping was 2-3 minutes. My first try on this was 4 minutes. The color was a little stronger than other white teas I’ve tried, which may be due to the longer steep.
Preparation
Yes – Weather Channel is making a big drama about this, and we have Jim Cantore out on the beach a few miles from us, but as storms go, we get a lot of summer thunderstorms that are worse than this.
