However, hardcore Earl Grey purists like my wife likely will offer a derisive, somewhat disgusted pout upon sniffing or tasting this product. Basis for my guess: she did. :-) I love it, so...high rating! The packaging for the tea bags is the same as described in my review of Murchie's Earl Grey Cream, and like the latter, Royal Grey also is sold loose. Instead of flowers, they use currants to add a noticeable but stil...http://ratetea.com/review/6872/http://ratetea.com/review/6872/Wed, 16 Nov 2022 08:26:46 ESTHere's another in Celestial's fairly recent run of new black-tea blends. For a mass-marketed brand commonly available in retail stores, this rendition holds its own, but better quality can be had. The dry aroma (especially when opening the sack or pouch in which the bags are packaged) may be the best part. This is evenly balanced between the base tea (of unstated origin), bergamot and vanilla. However, the brewed cup curiously lacks much aroma, and is far fainter than the dry-bag scent. The wet-bag ...http://ratetea.com/review/6102/http://ratetea.com/review/6102/Sat, 11 May 2019 19:09:38 ESTThis is my favorite Earl Grey Cream tea yet, and that's not a knock on Murchie's excellent rendition, which is a better value but just a notch below Teavana in richness. Teavana has undergone a remaking of its marketing and strategy under the Starbucks banner: no more stand-alone tea shops, just 15-sachet plastic tubs on sale via Amazon, Target, Wal-Mart (where I got mine), and probably other outlets. They're not cheap! I paid about $5 for one tub, so like that cranky old man hollering at you as a ki...http://ratetea.com/review/5892/http://ratetea.com/review/5892/Mon, 10 Dec 2018 16:36:36 ESTGiven the ingredients list, here was a tea that caught both my eye and a few bucks of my credit-card balance, while stocking up at a Dallas Trader Joe's on some things I don't get in nearby Oklahoma markets. Overall, it's not quite as high-quality as the other Earl Grey Creme tea I've tried (the bagged version from Murchie's), but still a good chug, especially for the characteristically low price for which TJ's sells teas. The dry-leaf aroma was a good deal more astringent than the flavor, but still qu...http://ratetea.com/review/5433/http://ratetea.com/review/5433/Thu, 04 Jan 2018 20:16:18 ESTThis tea looks and smells wonderful. However, the flavour of "cream" (to me it tastes like fake vanilla flavouring) is overpowering and bergamot gets lost.This seems to be a fan favourite, but I dislike it. Would not buy again. http://ratetea.com/review/5414/http://ratetea.com/review/5414/Sun, 17 Dec 2017 06:52:47 ESTThis is a wonderful tea. I have nothing more to say.http://ratetea.com/review/5363/http://ratetea.com/review/5363/Mon, 30 Oct 2017 16:38:19 ESTThis was my first experience with an Earl Grey cream, and I had a hard time discerning the various blended flavors besides bergamot. For example, the vanilla doesn't jump out at you; instead it turns the traditional Earl Grey taste toward something a bit more toasty or woody. I had worried that it might be cloying, but it is definitely rather brisk. When I drink it, I almost imagine a hint of coffee. It's not a tea I would drink regularly, but it's a nice surprise for a late morning or afternoon when you...http://ratetea.com/review/4851/http://ratetea.com/review/4851/Thu, 08 Dec 2016 11:32:57 ESTLooking at the teabag boxes in-store, I wasn't sure if this would be a worthy purchase or not. I never had tried vanilla-flavored EG black tea before. With a combination of: 1) The really sweet, pleasant smell of the loose-leaf sampler as I crushed some between fingers and 2) The favorable Canadian/U.S. dollar exchange rate, ...I decided to buy and bag a big box o'fifty and haul it home. The tea bags are packed in an airtight, light-reflecting, chrome-colored plastic bag (alas, no built-in res...http://ratetea.com/review/4227/http://ratetea.com/review/4227/Wed, 25 Feb 2015 13:44:07 ESTOne of the first teas that I've ever had. Its aroma is of a light earl grey with a hint of citrus (not as much as a lady grey) and sweetness. I don't taste the citrus in the brew, but the creaminess comes through and creates a smooth, refreshing liquor that does not need milk or sugar to enjoy. Definitely a favorite and relatively cheap for something from Teavana. Tasting notes: First steep: 1.5tsp/8oz, 185 degrees, 3 minutes. Second steep: 190 degrees, 3 minutes.http://ratetea.com/review/3633/http://ratetea.com/review/3633/Thu, 24 Jul 2014 16:37:23 ESTThis is one of my favorite Earl Grey's. It's creamy, sweet, and delicious.http://ratetea.com/review/3366/http://ratetea.com/review/3366/Sat, 03 May 2014 15:20:16 ESTThe scent of this tea is lovely, full of citrus, floral and vanilla notes; however, the flavor is mostly floral and there is an unpleasant aftertaste. This was steeped using boiling water for about 3 minutes. The flavor was barely there, so I left it for another minute at at 4 minutes, it seemed better. The tea has a light bitterness, but it's not outrageous. I don't taste much of the vanilla/cream that was promised because the floral flavors steal the show. The problem is that they aren't terrib...http://ratetea.com/review/3291/http://ratetea.com/review/3291/Thu, 27 Mar 2014 06:36:53 ESTA great tea to add a splash of milk and sugar to. This is the tea I go to to curl up with a book, it just relax.http://ratetea.com/review/2728/http://ratetea.com/review/2728/Mon, 30 Sep 2013 15:37:39 ESTThis tea taste light in the bergamot, black tea and vanilla, its wonderfull the flavor. With a little soja milk, rice milk or without milk. the problem is already teavana reduces the bergamot oil and taste less bergamot. http://ratetea.com/review/2481/http://ratetea.com/review/2481/Sun, 02 Jun 2013 16:08:18 ESTThis tea is very interesting because although it's called "Earl Grey Creme", it has much more of a floral taste. The blue cornflowers definitely have a big impact on the flavor of the tea. I can only assume that the name comes from aroma of the tea which smells very sweet and creamy. Although the tea was delicious, I found the taste was very different from what I was expecting. I also thought it was a tad over priced given the fact that the tea was very good, but not spectacular. http://ratetea.com/review/1036/http://ratetea.com/review/1036/Fri, 18 Feb 2011 09:21:30 ESTSlightly flowery and sweet with a creamy taste. I enjoy this tea brewed a bit weak so I can taste the vanilla better. I found this out at work cuz the water out of the coffee pot is about 175. Its a great "dessert" tea with some sweetener and a splash of milk. It is also a very pretty tea with bright blue flowers that bloom a little when you first add the water. I didn't think the aroma of the dried tea was a good indicator of the taste, and the brewed tea itself (at least when brewed 2 mins at around 175...http://ratetea.com/review/585/http://ratetea.com/review/585/Thu, 29 Apr 2010 20:31:54 ESTappearance: a standard looking black tea with bits of blue and white plant matter mixed in ["we added bits of vanilla bean and sunflower petals"]. aroma: strong, citrus, sweet. predominantly lemon-like rather than the more orange-like smell of bergamot that i'm accustomed to. vanilla note also present. flavor: just like its aroma. dominated by a lemon-like flavor with the taste of vanilla also present. overall: i was very disappointed with this tea. i was hoping for an earl grey smoothed by a hin...
