Added some samples to my order with high hopes, and I was not disappointed! Cream Earl Grey has been a personal favorite for years, but I'm constantly impressed by the consistent quality & masterful blends of flavors in each of these teas. I'll be back for refills!

The sample teas are excellent quality, fresh and flavorful!

I ordered this as a free sample and it is delicious. I brewed just one cup as my first taste. I let it cool and added just a tiny bit of sugar. Then poured it over ice. I am a Texas girl and we drink iced tea. The tea has a full body taste and the pecan is noticeable. I will use the rest of the sample to make a pitcher of tea because I want to share with friends.. My other sample is the Royal Breakfast tea. I will review that one after I sample it.

I selected Texas Pecan & Earl Grey Cream samples. Texas Pecan: smelled fragrant from the bag, and I think it had a cocoa note along with the pecan and black tea once brewed. I really liked that combination, which was somewhere between a heart breakfast tea and a nutty dessert tea for me. Tastes rich. I steeped at varied temperatures each time, some over what the directions say, and it still never became bitter! Excellent with sweetener and milk, or just sweetener. 5 stars! Creamy Earl Grey: it’s real bergamot, and I appreciate that, but I get an anise/licorice note mixed in (not listed separately in the ingredient list) that I wish was not there. It was good served with milk and sugar, and I imagine would make a good base for a tea latte if brewed at a higher concentration than directed. For my tastes, this one was 4 stars, but the quality is still 5.

The two teas I received surpassed expectations: the "Cream Earl Grey" had a nice bottom note added to the traditional deep Bergamot flavor. The Fiji Island Coconut was incredible aromatic; the flavor of coconut was comforting and delicious, mild and not overpowering
