Earl Grey Recommendation?

I buy Upton's organic Earl Grey, TE15. primarily for my grandson. However, their bestseller is TE11, Extra Bergamot. They have about 10 others. Toci

The Arab brands do EG better than the British.

PS I d> I'm searching for a high quality Earl Grey, which is available in the

I'm not an Earl Grey fan, but my mother is and no matter how much I spend on fancy new EG's for her, she always has a favorite: Mlesna brand Earl Grey. It only comes in teabags, and I have had it and I'd have to agree that it is very good. She hated the Adagio one, she didn't like the Numi one, and she did like the assortment from Upton's I got her. The extra Bergamot one was my favorite FWIW - which isn't much since I'm not an EG kind of guy. I do speak highly of the Mlesna brand Monk's Blend (also a teabag) though.

Good Luck!

I liked earl Grey vanilla with vanilla flowers from either upton or special teas. It's a surprisingly good combination, and I usually hate when anything at all is added to teas.

i like the flavor of Chado's Earl Grey Imperial find it less 'artificial'(tho i dont know if its not artificial) than any of the ones i've tasted, i also like how it smells, with sugar it still has that sugar aftertaste like any tea i put sugar in. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ tgfop.wordpress.com You can handle my gaiwan, but... be gentle.

I can recommend Adagio (see their website). Their earl grey was even awarded on some Earl Grey fan website with list of many others. I like it because it is FRESH. Despite of that - in my opinion a good ratio tea-bergamot.

The strongest Earl Grey I know of here in the US is Zarrin brand, which is sold to the middle eastern community. The Persian market in Maryland where we go has half a kilo for six dollars, and it is VERY strongly scented Ceylon.

The box says it's a product of Blansh international, San Jose, CA, and gives this phone number: 408 279 3444.

It's very strong.

I've got to add these to my tisane flowers I occassionally add to tea.

Agreed. Pretty strong stuff. Very flavourful. It's available here on the west coast (Persian markets) for about $3.50 in a green box. Ahmad Ahmad is terrible. Insipid and flat. Republic of Tea is tasty, too. Shen
