If the tea of the month series wasn’t enough of a tip off, I’ll confess it. I love tea. All kinds of tea. But when it comes to Earl Grey I’ve been a pretty die hard Twinnings fan my whole life. My mom has too. Really she’s even more ride or die for Twinnings than I am.
It didn’t surprise me, though, when she looked at my box of tea samples from Tea Forte and picked the Earl Grey for this months tea of the month.
It’s not bad.
I’m trying to think of it as an entirely new tea, instead of comparing it to what I’ve always associated with Earl Grey.
Tea Forte’s Earl Grey is a great early morning tea. It’s sharp, strong, but with floral notes at the end. I recommend a healthy dose of sugar, proper cream, to soften the edge a bit, and your favorite morning pastry while you settle down to plan your day.
