Texas Pecan & Cream Earl Gray
I selected Texas Pecan & Earl Grey Cream samples. Texas Pecan: smelled fragrant from the bag, and I think it had a cocoa note along with the pecan and black tea once brewed. I really liked that combination, which was somewhere between a heart breakfast tea and a nutty dessert tea for me. Tastes rich. I steeped at varied temperatures each time, some over what the directions say, and it still never became bitter! Excellent with sweetener and milk, or just sweetener. 5 stars! Creamy Earl Grey: it’s real bergamot, and I appreciate that, but I get an anise/licorice note mixed in (not listed separately in the ingredient list) that I wish was not there. It was good served with milk and sugar, and I imagine would make a good base for a tea latte if brewed at a higher concentration than directed. For my tastes, this one was 4 stars, but the quality is still 5.
