Tasting Notes: subtle earl grey with soft cream

Description: Summer Grey is a soft and delicate summer version of earl grey. A smooth earl grey tea that is similar to a Lady Grey or Afternoon Grey. This light version of earl grey is more subtle than our Earl Grey Crème and French Grey.

A blend of brisk Ceylon black tea enveloped between layers of Italian bergamot, delicate creamy vanilla, and a touch of orange peel.  A versatile black tea that is excellent on its own, lovely with lemon, and can take milk and sweetener. 

This tea is great as the base of a London Fog - brew triple strength, add a shot of vanilla syrup and/or lavender syrup, and steamed milk.  

Ingredients: black tea, bergamot, vanilla, orange, cornflowers

Steep Directions: steep 1 heaping teaspoon of tea per 8 oz boiling water, 205-212°F, for 3-4 minutes

The cream note really comes through without making it taste heavy, which is exactly what I wanted for hot afternoons. It's got that classic earl grey character but softer, almost like a lighter cup you can sip all day. I'm genuinely sad it's only around for summer.
