French #7 from Blue Hour Tea. . .

Don’t let the flowers fool you: this Earl Grey blend is POWERFUL. It’s packed to the gills with the Earl’s trademark bergamot, plus lavender and cornflowers. This blend packs a punch. DO NOT OVERSTEEP IT.

Tired? The smell itself is so strong that it will wake you up immediately. Cranky? The flavor will get your gears in motion. Dead on the inside? The caffeine will give you a shove.

This is like Earl Grey’s spunky hippie sister got into his tea stash and started messing around with it

“I picked these today,” she whispers, dropping a handful of blossoms into the mix. “These will make it pretty AND align his chakras. He’s so UPTIGHT sometimes.”

And then the Earl gets in there and he’s like “OH MY GOD, MOONBEAM, WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?”

Then he sips it and says, with a sigh, “Oh. It’s pretty good.”

And goes back to bureaucracy or whatever it is Earls do all day. She’ll wander back into the fields, going on a walkabout, not to return until the winds and the moon usher her back to the castle. He never knows when she’ll drop by, but he’s secretly glad when she does. She keeps him on his toes.

Signature Tea from Kent & Sussex Tea & Coffee Co. . . . A Take on Earl Grey

 

When a brand has a signature product it HAS TO BE GOOD, right? Well, Signature Tea from Kent & Sussex Tea & Coffee Co is superb! This was the tea Kent & Sussex created for the Grand Hotel Brighton! They say it’s a fresh and vibrant take on Earl Grey! And I would have to agree! If you are someone who isn’t sure about Earl Grey because of the POW-in-your-face EG flavoring then you will have to check this offering out! WHY? Because it’s so much more than just a stereo-typical Earl!

Signature Tea from Kent & Sussex Tea & Coffee Co is a medium strength and medium caffeinated tea but it’s actually made up of black tea from several different regions including Tinsukia, Assam, India. Darjeeling, India. Keemun, Anhui, and China.

The citrus offers a wondrous plumpy orange flavor that I seem to crave more of while drinking. There are your nods to Earl but it’s not as strong as some other Earls tend to be and with the blend of flavors it all works swimmingly! I can totally see and taste why Kent & Sussex calls this their Signature Tea! I can’t say I have anything comparable! Signature Tea from Kent & Sussex Tea & Coffee Co is a memorable cuppa!
