Tea of the Week: Cream Earl Grey

I want to apologize for my sporadic posting, with the Holidays coming I have a feeling it will be like this until the first of the year. We are dragging our husbands in for packing so that will help. I am glad to see that people can still afford a little luxury like tea! The winner for 4 ounces of Pecan Pie tea is Kevin....Congrats hope you enjoy! I've sent you an email to get your snail mail addy. This weeks tea is one of our best sellers, Cream Earl Grey. Please leave a comment to win 4 ounces.

Earl Grey is world reknown as a classic English tea – probably as famous as Tower Bridge or Big Ben, and if you are fan of Earl Grey and have not tried this, you are in for a treat. Cream Earl Grey has a taste that is smooth with vanilla overtones, which stand out above the premium bergamot flavor – the signature taste of Earl Grey. This is a tea that would complement a meal or any aristocratic occasion for that matter! One has to think that Charles Grey (1764-1845) would have approved of this delicacy.

As you can tell, this is a quick post, things are going very well here and we are busy as can be. The Holidays seem to creep up and come really fast this time of year. I hope everyone is doing well!

Glad to hear things are bustling at Culinary Tea!!

I am a long time Earl Grey drinker (though I have not tried the Cream Earl Grey), but my mom has just discovered that she really likes Earl Grey after thinking that she could not stand it for many years!

So, if I am lucky enough to win, I will send half the tea to my mom in Oregon so she can drink a cup with me via telephone.

Happy holidays!!!

I had, for many years, avoided Earl Grey because, well, it just wasn't my 'cup of tea' LOL A few years ago, I was in our local tea shop and the waitress suggested I try their Cream Earl Grey. Well, let's just say, it has surpassed Buckingham Palace Tea as one of my fav teas and I regularly order it.

For a black tea, it does not require a lot of extra sweetener! I absolutely love it!
