Jul. 23rd, 2014

Nothing mind blowing, but the merging of Caramel, Ginger, and Vanilla flavors makes a richly flavored cup with depth and satisfaction.

Make sure to steep at just below boiling for three minutes as the brew can get bitter.

smell is very good and is exactly what you would expect from the flavor it is suppose to be. Flavor goes in a different direction though...tastes a bit like black licorice to me. Slight spicyness on the end...good, but would be better if it tasted as it smells.

This is my favorite Earl Grey tea. Well balanced Bergamot flavor. Nice large tea bags w/o strings. It is hard to come by in the U.S. and is not hermetically sealed so the quality varies depending on how the tea is stored. My recent mail-order from Amazon was a disappointment even though the expire date is 18 mo. awa...

Smells like peaches and cream oatmeal!! mmm! Best smelling tea ever! Unfortunately all that richness and flavor in the smell turns into a slightly bitter black tea that actually has only mild fruit flavor. The black tea itself is bold though.

smells kind of musty...slight little burn in the nose...1.5 tsp were in my pot for 4 mins...give the perfect amount of bold flavor...taste is like a smooth black tea but a little boring...not quite as good as it cools...decent but not exciting...longer steeping seems to pick up more bitterness (or perhaps its the lower...

very good smell and taste....the strength is just about right too...steeped 4 minutes but didn't boil as directed. Perhaps a bit longer steep next time. The amount of flavoring seems spot on....not overpoweringly artificial or an underpowered hint.

Love this tea! I don't like bitter teas, and this one has just enough sweetness to satisfy. Plus, the aroma is heavenly.

I wanted to try another Earl Grey to make sure I properly gave that flavor a shot: I'm now more sure that black teas aren't my bag.

I think that someone who actually likes black tea (especially with a slight bitterness) would find this one pleasant. The bergamot and lavender work well together, both as a flavor and ...

This tea does have a hint of bergamot but it's just a hint, so little I almost couldn't notice it, so it tast...

The perfect soothing tea for relaxation and a good alternative to classic chamomile tea. The scent instantly calms my most anxious moments. In terms of flavor, the herbal lavender mellows out the tang of the lemongrass. You need to use an extremely fine, industrial-grade strainer since the tiny lemongrass slivers tend ...

A very citrusy Earl Grey, surprisingly good for an inexpensive tea bag, and I think the best I've tried yet from Red Rose.

The tea bag smells of lemon and orange, and has visible bits of citrus peel.

Brewing for 3 minutes with boiling water, produces a rich, malty cup. The bergamot flavoring blends into the othe...

The aroma of this tea is very sweet and creamy with extremely strong spices. The cinnamon and cloves really overpower the rest of the aromas, but there is a faint hint of malt, pumpkin, and caramel under the potent spices.

The initial impact of the taste is a tingly and numb feeling from the spices, it is a little o...

This was my first month of Handmade Tea. I could barely smell and taste the lemon, but I still like this tea. I added a little sugar and I liked the result. I thought this tea had a lovely mild flavor. I’m going to try this as a cold brew later. I may add a little extra lemon and see how that goes.

This tea didn't wow me. I could taste the autumnal spices, but I didn't think they were really strong enough. I believe a tea with cinnamon and cloves should have a good, strong flavor. I received this in a tea swap, and maybe it's just the wrong time to be drinking this, also. I think my mind is in spring-mode!
