drank Earl Grey de la Creme by SpecialTeas
3141 tasting notes

Additional notes: The flavor in this is still amazing for THREE steeps as far as the bergamot goes… this is ancient tea here. The creme has disappeared sadly. But the bergamot is probably the strongest bergamot blend I have. The black tea is still perfect.
MUST steep this with a teaspoon and a little bit extra in another teaspoon. Two steeps with 3/4-2/3 full of a mug on the third steep.

I haven’t been catching up with Steepsterers notes lately and I miss them and hearing news of everyone!

With nearly a month straight with heat advisories in our part of the world, the only thing I wanted to say about my tea is COLD! No, COLDER! More ice, please! The streak broke this weekend and I am eagerly anticipating cool weather drinking again!

Doesn’t matter how hot it gets, I must still have my hot tea. :D

Hi! I love tea and trying new ones – it adds a bit of variety to my day! Books, music, TV & movies are my thing… and tea, of course.

My icon photo is Richard Mayhew from the graphic novel ‘Neverwhere’ by Neil Gaiman, Mike Carey & Glenn Fabry.

Most of the teas listed in my cupboard are actually sample sizes. I don’t really have 2,000 ounces of tea around here! Many of my teas have only one teaspoon left… maybe two. But I like keeping them in my cupboard list for reference to what I could be sipping. Usually, I write tasting notes once for each tea. I’m still drinking them, just not writing tasting notes each time!

My dislikes: hibiscus, ginger (unless in chai), turmeric, bee pollen, charcoal type flavors

My ratings:
95-100 – Super awesome deliciousness favorites – cupboard essential
80-95 – Also pretty delicious
65-80 – Pretty good
50-65 – Okay
1-50 – Probably won’t want to sip it again

I’m planning on being a Steepsterer as long as there IS a Steepster, so if you’re not hearing from me, that means something happened to my health… if you know what I mean. (Or as evidenced by the great computer hiatus of 2019, something happened to my computer.) :D

Happy sipping!
