Decaf Earl Grey

185

Description

Black tea from Ceylon, decaffeinated using a superior CO-2 process. The latter is all natural and gentle, allowing tea leaves retain their delicate shape and flavor. Flavored with bergamot, a citrus fruit. Makes a tasty cup of tea, both hot and iced.

Story

It is said that in 1830, an Englishman named Charles Earl Grey traveled on a diplomatic mission to China, where in return for his act of kindness, a local mandarin presented him with the recipe for making this distinctive tea. A few corrections are in order. Firstly, the Chinese have never been black tea drinkers, and were unlikely to have a recipe for Earl Grey to bestow on visitors. Secondly, Charles Earl Grey never set foot in China. Otherwise, the story is completely true.

"A tad bitter for both batches I made into iced tea, but I love the Earl Grey flavor, so I'll just use less (again) for attempt #3."

"This was my first Earl Grey, bought on a whim last year. Admittedly, I found it a bit strange at first, but it's become one of my favorites. Love it."

"I was somewhat disappointed with this decaf earl grey. I love earl grey tea, and have come to expect good things from adagio, so my expectations might have been too high. The tea was kind of sticky."
