Earl Grey Pyramid Sachets

This is a decent to good Earl Grey. Far better than Twinings - the last batch of which was like water with a crayon dipped into it - and all of the supermarket brands. Not perfect because there are hints of some other flavors but good nonetheless. Note: you will need a tea ball.

Tastes like plantation tea! I like the cornflowers in this one. Good citrus aromas, rich taste. Medium brown cuppa. You can use the leaves twice. 1minute for the first steep, and 3 min for the second one. I don't take anything in my tea, but I think this would be nice with a bit of milk, too.

Beautiful aroma, nice re-sealable packaging, excellent flavor, great value compared to buying lesser quantities of tea. This is a quality product.

I am a long time Earl Grey fanatic and daily consumer, I have had dozens of different renditions of this classic black tea. I very seldom reorder the same one in my neverending search for that EG holy grail. Overall, I find most to be anywhere from dull to disgusting. Some however float above the pack, bringing something special or unexpected to the party. This might be one of those teas I just can't decide. Elmwood Inn's take on Earl Grey starts out with a quality, whole leaf, single estate Ceylon tea. The quality of the base stands above. Along with a fine base tea are some beautiful blue cornflowers and thin gold ribbons that often come with them. A visually attractive Earl Grey. The scent is one of those Earl Greys that stand out in a crowd. Bold, pungent aroma of true bergamot and a subtle but noticeable fennel-like essence. I see no indication that any such flavor is included, but I consistently pick it up nonetheless. After looking at and smelling this tea, I found the flavor to be exactly what I was expecting -- a light tea base (due to large leaf) with just enough bergamot flavor to take the driver's seat without completely overpowering the tea. And then there's that fennel-like flavor. Not strong or offensive, but just a bit odd for me in an Earl Grey. At times, I also pick up the slightest floral note -- maybe lavender? I guess that speaks to the delicacy of the flavor balance in this tea, which in itself is a relatively rare feat in an EG of this boldness.

I like this tea. It takes a bit more time than usually to be enough flavored. But taste is very soft and pleasant.
