Earl Grey every day.
It’s so easy to make an unsatisfying cup, but when you get it just right 😍
It’s unironically my favorite tea. It has such a strong flavor.
And the smell
Ironically Patrick Stewart doesn’t really like Earl Gray, his preferred tea is Yorkshire Gold.
I heard him say in an interview that he tried to get the producers to let him use “Lapsang Souchong” (also a black tea), but they didn’t go for it. I guess it was about something still ubiquitous enough so people would know it?
Wait until you try some Lapsang souchong
Literally the best tea ever. Smells like a campfire. Which reminds me — I need to order more.
Great when paired with Ardbeg. All campfire, all the time. There’s also smoked/roasted oolong too.
If you shop at a loose leaf tea place you can also get cream of Earl Grey tea which is absolutely worth trying if you like Earl Grey.
David’s teas, Murchies, Teas Galore are a few of the places I have found it
I much prefer coffee, but man, Earl Grey has an amazing aroma to it.
I’m not far from a bakery that makes earl grey macarons, they are exquisite
You should try and Earl Grey Marteani. It was one of the first revival cocktails intended to be super likeable to get people back into drinking gin.
2oz Earl grey gin .75oz lemon juice .75oz simple syrup 1 egg white/.75oz aqua faba/a few shakes of fee foam/the foaming agent of your choice Shake and serve up. Put some bitters on the foam if its smell bothers you.
Earl grey gin is made by dumping ~5 teabags into a bottle of gin for 2-8 hours at room temp.
.75oz aqua faba
You had my interest in the cocktail, but you get my upvote for this stealth beans post.
I prefer Lady Grey myself.
“Attempt to calculate answer to your question: Why you want dried leaves in boiling water.”
“Because I happen to like it. That’s why.”
I’m generally a coffee girl, but when I do drink tea Earl Grey is always my first choice.

100% agree. I’m not a fan of Earl Grey at all but Lady Grey is delicious. It has a gentle lemon and orange flavor that evens out the bergamot imo
I usually have a tea phase once a year. Last one was primarily Darjeeling; it’s pretty good from what I remember. Have you tried it yet?
I prefer Assam or Ceylong myself. If you get some high quality Earl Grey and don’t screw it up, it can be really good, but it’s much easier to end up with it being mediocre in my experience.
1001 night tea. A game changer
Now that you’ve been initiated into the black tea club, (early grey is black tea is a black tea with bergamot orange rind oil,) you should really try Ceylon (black) tea. It’s a tea from shri-lanka and I find them to be quite fruity.
