after how fucking terrible that nutty granola crunch was, I haven\’t even wanted to approach my \”tea station\”but I\’m cold, and you can never truly go wrong with earl grey.unfortunately, there is still the stench of the nutty granola crunch (I left the package out) and it overpowered the sweet scent of earl grey. steep…

after how much sweetness I\’ve had today I wanted something that doesn\’t need anything added in.plus, to be perfectly honest, I don\’t think I\’ll be purchasing this guy again, and while I do have quite a few bags left I wanna move my vanilla chai into this guy\’s spot on the tea organizer. steep time:…

it\’s not bad, by any means, but I really expected it to taste better.I imagined the vanilla and the pumpkin spice would really complement each other, but instead, they seem to be battling it out./shrugstill good, just not what I had been hoping for. steep time: 4 minssteep temp: ~ 200º Fadded: 4 teaspoons of…

I\’m still disappointed that the tin this stuff came in is not air tight, especially since I paid more for the tin =/ steep time: 5 minssteep temp: 205º Fadded: 2 teaspoons of rock sugar

funny story,my mug keeps teas hot for quite a while, so I often have to wait for teas to become cool enough to drink.I\’m reading a book, and at some point I reach over for a swig of tea..oO(hrm…  this tastes like a milder earl grey)and then I remembered what tea I was drinking.lolthe leaves…

harney & sons is having a sale for black friday and I was on the verge of ordering a 4 oz tin of holiday tea when I remembered they sent me a bag of it.it\’s still too hot to drink but judging by the smell I don\’t think I\’ll be buying any more of it.we\’ll…

I always feel like twinings is really weak, plus I have a 13 oz mug rather than an 8 oz.so I double bagged it.def much stronger, and tastes much better, but it is a bit too strong now.I\’m thinking about adding half & half.but still, I like it much more than when single bagged. steep…

I was browsing r/tea and ran a search for earl grey to see what all those folks thought.several times people would mention harney & sons\’ earl grey supreme.I was on the verge of ordering some when it was time for a new pot,and guess what I already own?lolit is way better than taylors, btw.  much…

I\’m gonna make it an earl grey day.I love bigelow\’s earl grey, especially the smell that hits me when I tear open a packet.but I have a few different brands of earl grey, so I\’m interested in which is my favorite.I also recently discovered that bigelow has a loose leaf earl grey, that I am very…

I\’ve been drinking tea at work but since I\’m in a communal area I\’m not taking pics of my tea.I left the tropical green up there and while the first cup is always remarkably bitter I do enjoy it. of course, who doesn\’t enjoy the glorious earl grey?esp with a couple of almond biscotti(qq I\’m…

I am still trying to work out a good time/temp for this guy.ugh.pic from one of the several cups I had this morning steep time: 4 minssteep temp: 160 º Fadded: n/a

I wanted something more bitter after I-dunno-how-many cups of heavily sweetened earl grey steep time: 5 minssteep temp: ~ 200º Fadded: n/a

because some like it sweet 😡I love bigelow\’s earl grey.  seriously love it, just the smell when I tear open the packet makes me happy.a cup of this, heavy on the sweet, with one of those chocolate pumpkin pie biscotto…gonna be a great morning/glances at clockwhatevs steep time: 2:30 minssteep temp: ~ 200º Fadded: 4…

decided to go with old faithful after the failure of last mug\’s tea.also breaking out one of the chocolate pumpkin pie biscotto to help ease my suffering steep time: 4 minssteep temp: ~ 200º Fadded: 4 teaspoons of rock sugar

so double bagging has actually really improved this tea.I have a 14 oz mug and the bags are for 8 oz of water so it\’s not really surprising.I only had 5 bags left and have been so happy with double bagging that I decided to triple bag one mug so instead of 2 mugs with…

yay getting rid of teas~did not even have enough for a batch of this stuff, but I didn\’t wanna just throw the last bit away.I don\’t remember if I liked it when I had it last, but I\’m not optimistic as the first ingredient listed is \”cocoa kernals, \” with \”chocolate flakes\” listed shortly after….

still kinda bitter, even with the different kettlegonna try varying the water tempstill smells fucking amazing though steep time: 1:30 minssteep temp: 175º Fadded: n/a

I remembered to get pics this time!tea was still pretty bitter even though I lowered the water temp a bit.I brought the tin home to try it on my fancy kettle, so if it\’s still bitter it\’s just bitter tea. steep time: 1:30 minssteep temp: 165º Fadded: n/a also a pic of the finished product:

when I ordered from harney & sons they sent me a few samples.I had the chamomile and made the organic green for the bf.I had wondered if the reason I disliked the chamomile tea I\’ve had before is because celestial seasonings is a shit supermarket brand, and while the stuff from harney & sons was…

double bagged this bad boy because:1) was kinda weak the last time I had it2) the box is huge and I wanna get rid of it3) drinking it with two bags at a time cuts it down to only a zillion servings left with two bags it\’s actually quite nice – stronger flavor yet still…

it looks warm but it\’s actually cold outside! steep time: 1:30 minssteep temp: 170º Fadded: n/a

brrr steep time: 2 minssteep temp: 175 º F added: n/a

so I kinda knew this, but had forgotten…  the teavana perfecteaspoon is not a teaspoon but about a teaspoon and a half (or something).  so in order to more accurately count calories, I\’ve switched to a teaspoon.  there is not a lot of sugar in this cup of tea.  >_> steep time: 4 minssteep temp:…

hot tea after a long day is so nice. steep time: 1:30 minssteep temp: 170º Fadded: n/a

double bagged it since I wanted it strong 😡 steep time: 4 minssteep temp: ~ 200º Fadded: 2 perfecteaspoons of rock sugar, 1 half & half

this tea smells and tastes so familiar and I can\’t figure out why.it\’s so good though!will def be having this again.  I\’m on the verge of tagging this as \’is it tea you\’re looking for\’ but will wait for another cup before doing so. steep time: 4 minssteep temp: ~ 205º Fadded: 2 perfecteaspoons of…

this tea seems a little bitter but I\’m not sure if it\’s the tea or just all the sweetened teas I\’ve been drinking today.the more I drink of it the less jarring it is, so it may just be that the other teas have been much sweeter. steep time: 5 minssteep temp: ~ 205º Fadded:…

this is an oolong, how interesting steep time: 4 minssteep temp: ~195º Fadded: 2 perfecteaspoons of rock sugar
