drank Earl Grey Salute by Nous Tea
737 tasting notes

Thank you, Martin Bednář, for doing an intercontinental swap! Earl Grey Salute was the second tea I’ve sipped of the sacheted Nous Tea collection he sent. A review for the first tea I had will likely come tomorrow. I’m busy going through all this glasswork stuff in the garage and was itching to take a break to write a short review.

I have 2 things to say about Earl Grey Salute:

1) O Bergamot, Bergamot, wherefore art thou Bergamot?
2) Looking past the complete absence of anything resembling citrus, It’s an otherwise average, moderately malty breakfast-type tea.

Flavors: Malt

Preparation
205 °F / 96 °C 5 min, 0 sec 8 OZ / 236 ML

I am bit sad that you felt this way about this one. But it is exactly what I had in second cuppa. Nice blend of tea, but bergamot nonewhere

The loss of flavor is strange, isn’t it? I’ve never had an Earl Grey fall completely flat like that. Well, it was still a nice malty cup for me.

Yeah, it is completely weird. I was opening the foil sachets just before shipping. And my second cuppa was when I took it out. So it can’t be stale or something. Really weird

Tea habits:

Among my favorites are all teas Nepali, sheng puerh, Wuyi yancha, Taiwanese oolong, a variety of black (red) teas from all over, herbal tisanes. I keep a few green and white teas on hand. Shou puerh is a cold weather brew. Tiny teapots and gaiwans are my usual brewing vessels when not preparing morning cups western style and pouring into my work thermos. Friend of teabags.
