INFORMATION:
Just
when you thought another variation of Earl Grey wasn't possible, along
comes Organic Cream Earl Grey. Now, before you go thinking we're just
exploiting the old man's memory to move product, let us explain why
we've created this blend. Like all Earl Grey teas it's flavored with
oil of Bergamot, a stunningly sweet variety of citrus. Next it needs to
be said that at the tea company, blending tea is in our souls. As
such, when confronted with a fantastic flavor like bergamot we feel
compelled - literally compelled - to experiment. First we toss and turn
for a few nights racking our brains over what combinations we could
try. Then we blend the flavor to within an inch of its life. Cinnamon,
vanilla, apples, pomegranates, grapes, every variety of tea from oolong
to Pu-Erh is tested. You name it, we try it. Every now and then, like
an alchemist turning dirt into gold, our compulsion leads us to a
concoction so delicious we decide to release it into the world. Such
was the case with Organic Cream Earl Grey.
The magical
afternoon when this blend sprang into existence began with the opening
of a bag of organic High Grown black tea. Fresh, full bodied and
lively, we knew immediately that this would produce something special.
Next, we added oil of bergamot and rolled the tea in our flavoring drum.
Fantastic. Moments later, someone had the idea to mix fresh cream
into the blend for added depth and dimension. As we brewed our first
pot, it was as though the planets had aligned and the gods of tea were
shining down like the rays of the sun. The cup exhibited a profound
depth created by the balance of bergamot and natural astringency of the
organic leaf. As if that weren't enough, subtly layered under this were
the sweet notes of cream. We were in love.we were in tea heaven.we
were.well, we could go on but brewing a pot will help you understand
everything.
