Earl Grey has to be my favorite tea of all time. Any time I come across a new Earl Grey, I have to try it. There will always be an Earl Grey variety of some sort in my tea cabinet. In fact, right now there are about 4 or 5 different types. Today I decided to review one of them that I've been consumed with lately. It's Harney and Son's Earl Grey Supreme.
This is Earl Grey at it's finest. Nice strong bold Bergamot scent upon sniffing the leaves. Harney blends four teas together and then adds the yummy bergamot oil and silvertips to the blend.
I set my kettle to boil and then steep the leaves for about 4-5 minutes. It brews up a nice medium brown color.
Now some may say I'm a weirdo for doing this, but I add milk to my Earl Grey. It might revolt some of you, but I like my black tea creamy. Mmm, creamy Earl Grey.
I really enjoy this tea. As you can see, I've worked my way easily through half of a 4 ounce container. I think this is my go to for now when I want straight up Earl Grey. The Harney site says that the tippy teas in this blend add natural sweetness to it. As I don't add any sweetener to my teas, maybe this helps it nudge out other Earl Grey blends for me. I also really enjoyed ordering from Harney's. They have a lot to choose from and the price point is more than reasonable. I got the 4 oz. tin for $7.50.

If "elegant tea" is your thing, than definitely give Harney a try.
