Tasting Notes: earl grey with fruit + vanilla

Description:  A smooth black tea that is a fruity and floral twist on traditional earl grey. An aromatic tea that's flavor is inspired by the style of teas and tea salons in Paris.  The name of this tea is inspired by the beloved 1975 documentary Grey Gardens filmed in East Hampton. 

Rich black tea is enveloped between layers of fruity currants, zesty orange, robust bergamot, floral rose, and a touch of vanilla. The result is a complex take on earl grey that is perfectly balanced. 

This luxurious variation of earl grey works well straight up or with cream and sugar. A lovely choice for afternoon tea and to pair with scones. This fruity and floral black tea also works quite well as an iced tea.

Ingredients: black tea, currant, orange, bergamot, vanilla, rose petals, cornflowers

Steep Directions: steep 1 heaping teaspoon of tea per 8 oz boiling water, 205-212°F, for 3-5 minutes

Aurora ★★★★★

I wasn't sure about vanilla in an earl grey, but it rounds out the bergamot so nicely that I've been steeping a second cup every afternoon. The floral note sneaks up on you too.

Charlotte M. ★★★★★

The fruitiness really lifts the bergamot instead of fighting it, and the tea stays smooth even after it cools down. I brewed a second steep out of curiosity and it held up nicely, which is rare for a flavored black.

Claire ★★★★★

The vanilla comes through in the finish, smoothing out the citrus sharpness in a way that makes this dangerously easy to keep sipping. I've been brewing it hot in the mornings and it's become my favorite part of the day, especially since the fruit notes linger without turning bitter.
