Tried it twice in the same hour, because the first time around, it was so light that I thought I pulled my infuser too quickly.
Another item from my 16 canisters from the PdT Black Friday sale, this one is vaguely like Earl Grey that hasn’t been steeped for long enough… or maybe hot enough. Either way, as someone who truly appreciates Earl Grey, I just couldn’t get into this one.
On the second cup, I cranked up my kettle to max, doubled the leaves, and let it sit for nearly 10 minutes – just as a sanity check. And even then, it was like a weak Earl Grey with very, very subtle notes of vanilla. Closest comparison would be Teavana’s Earl Grey Creme if it had only been infused for a minute or two.
This goes in the “trade or give away” section of my tea rack.
