Earl Grey Creme

My Tea Thoughts
April 15, 2009
*W*O*W*! This is a totally amazing tea. Earl Grey Creme is based on the familiar favorite, with all its charms of note and body, but takes it in a new direction with a striking yet subtle combination of a sweet, creamy taste and a mysterious flavor that resembles hazelnut and anise. It's got a smooth mouthfeel and bitterness is completely absent. Possibly the most interesting feature of all is the dry tea leaves: in addition to (extra)ordinary black tea leaves and the classic lavender buds, a few small white flowers a heavy sprinkling of bright blue ones adorn the mix!
Thank you for this great gift -- you know who you are.

Happy Sipping,
CoolCat

CoolCat, I attended a club meeting today that had an interesting installation of officers. It was about tea! The lady had teapots that indicated the difference club offices. I was fascinated with the teapots she presented, I wish you could see them. Evidently, tea has a broad base of interest and you do a great job of description. Thank you! Butterfly G-M
