French Earl Grey from Mt Dandenong

My latest and newest tea was a French Earl Grey. It comes with "hibiscus flowers, sunflowers and rose petals". Not a normal tea for me, this had the most excellent aroma. The whole house was more pleasant to be in while the tea was steeped.

It comes from tealeaves.com.au, a shop up on Mt. Dandenong, not that far from Melbourne. The small pack will easily give 15 cups of tea.

Now on the taste, it was not the best tea I had ever tasted. It was not greatly strong or distinctive, this is a tea imbibed for the smell. It was calming, it did feel "healthy", it is probably incredibly good for you, but it didn't have an excellent taste.

It was served without honey, but would benefit from a medium strength light honey. Too thick and the taste would be knocked out entirely, but you do not have to fear about destroying the smell, that is strong and will persist whatever you add to it.

So it is a joy to brew, but not exiting to drink.

Have a great day.
