Epi Tea

I tried this chai today. I have been trying to think of the best way to describe it. Sadly, the best word I can come up with is…mediciney. I did not enjoy it. It was not horrible, but I did not like it either. I am thankful for the free sample though.

I had a nice cup of this tea today. When I opened the package, I could smell the soothing scent of lavender immediately. When I lifted the cup to my nose, I could small bergamont and lavander, but they were not in competition.

The first half of the cup, I drank straight. The flavors mingled nicely together. The second half of the cup, I added milk. I wanted to see if it would hold up nicely, and it did. I enjoyed the cup.

This tea would make a nice latte as well. I may just have to order more and see.

Thanks!

I want to thank Kyle for this sample!

As soon as I added the hot water to the cup with the sachet in it – the water started turning color instantly! It does ‘brew’ to a dark brown. The lavender is not overly loud nor does it smack you in the face. The Earl Grey aroma is fairly mellow as well.

The flavor is different but in a very good way! First and foremost this is a creamier-lavender flavor upfront followed by a bergamotty EG – heavier on the beragmot but lighter on the stereotypical-astringent EG.

The longer I let the silk bag steep the more I noticed the lingering of the after taste. The aftertaste gets more floral.

This is a delightful Lavender Earl Grey…nice and creamy, too! Neat!
