Vanilla Creme Earl Grey
 |
|
Commercial Description
Here's a twist on a classic. We started by creating a fantastic Earl Grey with a blend of Assam, Ceylon and Nilgiri teas seasoned with the oil of bergamot. Next, we added bits of vanilla bean and sunflower petals to round it off and bring you Vanilla Creme Earl Grey.
Brewing Instructions: (from California Tea House)
Use 1 level tablespoon per cup of boiling filtered water and steep for 3 minutes. Throw in some steamed milk and rock sugar to make it a dessert.

33 Aroma: 4/10 Flavor: 1/5 Value: 2/5synth (31 reviews) on Apr. 29th, 2010
appearance: 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 hint of creamy vanilla, and this just did not deliver. this is very much a desert tea. it should be marketed as 'lemon-vanilla dessert blend' in my opinion. that would be a very appropriate description for it, and had it been presented to me as such, i would have rated it higher. many people would probably like this tea, but it is certainly not an earl grey.
