Excellent, but . . .

I agree with the earlier review concerning the bergamot - just right.
But, what makes this Earl Grey "Fancy" is the addition of a very floral fragrance. It makes the flavor flowery, almost sweet. There is nothing wrong, per se, with this tea but, for me, it was too floral.
I gave what I purchased to a friend and they LOVE it.
So - again - there is nothing wrong with this tea, it's just not for everyone (is anything?)

Our Earl Grey blends differ in the base of tea used for each. For example, Earl Grey Fancy uses a robust India Black tea, Earl Grey Imperial uses a milder Darjeeling base, Grand Earl Grey uses a Keemun and so on. The bergamot flavoring remains the same but the end result changes depending on the base flavor of the tea. Customers have their favorites, of course. What makes a tea 'Earl Grey' is the addition of bergamot flavoring.

Great Earl Grey!

This is an excellent Earl Grey with the right amount of bergamot. Strong enough that you can't miss it, and in balance with the tea flavor. I don't need it fancier than this!

Tea Education

What makes a tea Earl Grey? The addition of bergamot. This can be a flavoring or essence, usually in a liquid form which is then added to the base tea. In the case of Earl Grey Fancy, we start with a robust black tea from India which is then carefully blended with bergamot flavoring. That's it. This is our basic Earl Grey. Other more elegant formulations may have botanicals or white needles in them to enhance the aesthetic beauty. They don't add any additional taste. Bergamot is a very aromatic flavoring, usually fairly strong.

Hands down, my favorite Tea!

How does one set out to describe a favorite tea? Especially when you like other teas. But Dian Black, hands down, is my favorite tea! I find that is the best way to start the day. No harsh flavor notes. My tasting buds and Dian Black are on the best of terms. Silver Tips has brought a wonderful tea into our palette of excellent teas.

Wonderful Turmeric Chai

I just wanted to tell you how much I am enjoying the Turmeric Chai tea that I bought from Silver Tips. I wasn't quite sure what to expect as I had never tasted Turmeric before, but as I really wanted a masala-type tea, I decided to try it. It's wonderful! You use a high quality base tea and the spice blend is perfectly balanced, with the different spices taking turns impacting the palate. Really, it's almost like drinking a fine wine. You certainly crafted an excellent tea. I will be buying it again.

Excellent English Breakfast!

I got this as a sample when I ordered my two long time favorites from Silvertips (Keemun Hao Ya (absolute #1) and Dion Black). It's been a long time since I was so impressed by a tea as I was with this sample. I immediately ordered a large bag. It's a wonderful version of English Breakfast that stands up well to milk and sugar (my preferred way to have it) and no bad aftertaste. Solid choice!

Irish Breakfast - a strong cuppa

When I am looking for a some real punch in my teacup, I brew Irish Breakfast. It goes well with milk and is great for dunking my favorite biscuits (cookies in the USA).

Kenilworth - our family favorite

I grew up in a suburb of Cape Town, called Kenilworth. That is why I tried this blend of black tea. It has become a family favorite.
