To think that nobody likes Earl Grey tea 🤢

[Ontheedgeofit]

It’s like drinking a bouquet of flowers 🤢

I find the taste a bit disappointing compared to the aroma, but I still drink it because I love getting that lovely waft of bergamot up my snout. I buy the loose leaf stuff, as I do with my normal tea.

Love it, but as others have said find the more expensive ones are usually too Bergamoty. Lady Grey is lovely, too.
I have it with oat milk & a small amount of sugar.

I love it. Black. No sugar.

Will go and make it now actually.

You are all weirdos 🤢😂🤢

A PP said perfume and that’s exactly it!

It tastes what my granny’s perfume smells like 😂

I love it. I was raised on Earl Grey and it's so comforting still.

I’ve just made a cup as a protest against this thread!

I used to be an Earl Grey drinker as my default, but I too defected to Lady Grey 😁. It is definitely still my go-to when I'm out and about, though, as Lady Grey still seems to be uncommon. I prefer it because I don't have milk in my tea, and all the mainstream teas are very tannin-heavy.

I prefer Lady Grey, but that and Earl Grey are the only non herbal teas I will drink.

I like certain ones, but most times the bergamot is too strong. The M&S one was good, last time I had it. I drink it with a dash of milk, too.

I only drink normal breakfast, earl grey, jasmine, and green tea.

I only drink Earl Grey.

I like it. Hope you're keeping score @Ontheedgeofit

For all the Earl Grey fans - try Whittards' Piccadilly Blend too, it's lush.

I always stand in the tea section of the grocery store and wonder who buys it and it’s all of you!

Came here to say exactly this! It's the only tea I drink now & no other earl grey comes close.

Really strong with a suggestion of milk

I love it. Decaf earl grey is my hot drink of choice, if not having a coffee. I do like a spot of milk in it though, pleb that I am.

I really like Brew tea's loose leaf earl grey, it's so fresh and pungent! I like sticking my nose in the tea caddy and getting a good old whiff. It's sadly put me off the teabagged stuff now though.

I've not had Earl Grey for years! I used to love it.
We used to buy lots of different teas and vary what we drank from day.
You've put me in mind of doing that again.
I must say I much prefer loose leaf tea to tea bag tea. I use a tea bag in a cup for my lunch time tea but always make pots of leaf tea in the evening and it tastes like like real tea should.

My favourite tea.

I love Earl Grey and Lady Grey, but then I love perfumed tastes like rose and violet creams. One of our local tearooms does a rose and bergamot tea, which is delicious and very popular!

😂

I have to confess that I am not British. So my tea drinking palette is probably not very refined as I thought it was.

Im a good old cup of plain tea (English breakfast I would say) and here in SA we drink rooibos but I’m not sure I would consider it a true tea.

I like it - it’s best with one black tea teabag and one Earl Grey teabag with a small dash of milk

My aunt drinks it and to me it's like drinking pot porroui🤮

It’s the only tea I drink! I love it so much.

I like it both with milk or lemon (no sugar). I like rooibos tea too.

Yay for another flower in your mouth and up your nose vote 😂
