Earl Grey with Lavendar?

by jayde » Nov 19th 08 1:04 pm

Has anyone else seen or tried this blend? I tried it recently and since I love Earl Grey with Bergamot I figured this may be a new favorite. Unfortunately I found it had a really smoky taste and that it's probably the Bergamot I love so much in Earl Grey, not the actual black tea leaves.

I'm just curious if anyone else has experienced it. :)

Is this Dragonwater's Lavender Earl Grey? I love that blend, which may be because I just love lavender in general.

This one would be from www.peets.com
I didn't really find it had a lavendar taste to it.

revolution makes a lavendar earl grey blend that gets pretty good reviews. I'm like you, I love the bergamot. I also love twinnings lady grey.

I love lavender in earl grey. It's pretty common. I just requested some to review from Rishi. Revolution's was the first one I was introduced to...I drank a TON of it for a really long time. Serendipitea makes an awesome rose earl grey, too, if you are looking for additional flavors.

I actually have some of the Revolution Lavendar Earl Grey... if anyone wants to try some, PM me and I will be glad to send you a sample to try out. I am drinking so little flavored tea, I'm sure I will never use all it before it gets old.
