I was always an Earl Grey drinker so when I wanted to try higher end loose tea the sales girl told me about Earl Grey Creme. If I could go back and hug her I would. This is the perfect example of what a good cup of tea should be. It has an inviting aroma, soothing feel and bold but not offensive or strong taste. The vanilla adds a bit of smoothness without having to add milk or cream.
Normaly I drink my loose tea at home and settle for higher end bags at work. After inviting my co worker over one evening and sharing this tea with her, she purchased perfect tea makers for each of us for the office - it's that good.

This tea jumped out at me at the store because of the beautiful aroma and I couldn't help popping the tin on the ride home again and again because the smell was so intoxicating. Unfortunately, I believe the added flavors impact the overall flavor of the tea in a negative way in that they dominate the flavor of the tea itself and I personally felt like I was drinking potpurri. I prefer my tea with no milk, sweetener or lemon no matter which type I drink. If you add sweetener or milk, I think this tea might work very well for you, but it is not the ideal tea for the purist. I can't say I would not recommend it as I see why so many people swear by it, but I won't be purchasing this one again. I will stock to regular Earl Grey and Irish Breakfast (please bring it back to the stores!!!).

Comments about Teavana Earl Grey Creme Flavored Black Tea:
I love earle gray and this is the best I have ever tasted. it goes great with a little rock sugar. Make sure to follow the directions if you steep to long it becomes very bitter as all black teas do if you steep too long. My husband who is so very picky even loves this tea.

This is got to be the best earl grey tea I have ever tasted. I have traveled to London, Paris, Rome, Tokyo, Vienna and even Istanbul. These countries have some of the best tea selection of teas from the world. This earl grey tea sent me to near nirvana upon the first sip. Absolutely delicious.

Comments about Teavana Earl Grey Creme Flavored Black Tea:
This is a nice tea for any Earl Grey fan. The bergamot really comes out on this one, somewhat too strong for me. A little artificial tasting...must be the "creme" part. Nice aroma though.

Comments about Teavana Earl Grey Creme Flavored Black Tea:
This tea left me turning to my husband over and over and exclaiming how amazing this tea was. He said, "I know, I can smell it on you, and it smells great". The one thing keeping this tea from perfection? The fact that it is black tea instead of green or white. Fantastic taste + health benefits = Perfection.

Comments about Teavana Earl Grey Creme Flavored Black Tea:
I've been drinking earl grey for years - took me 6 tries to find the right brand of bags with the flavor i liked (tazo). I was purchasing some of the straight Earl Grey, so the salesgirl suggested the Creme version.. I made a face at her.. but she told me to try.. and am I glad I did! I have NEVER added anything to any type of tea, so I was certain I would not like this .. but it was wonderful! I brew mine a little stronger, and the vanilla mellowed it out perfectly! I prefer this for the "end of stress time" cup, and still drink the regular earl grey for that first "wake me up now!" cup. I LOVE this tea!

Comments about Teavana Earl Grey Creme Flavored Black Tea:
This tea is amazing. I've always been a huge fan of Earl Grey Tea and after reading the other reviews for this tea I decided to give it a try. Wow. The aroma is amazing, the creamy undertones compliment the tea perfectly and make my usual addition of milk completely unneccessary. I love this tea hot in the morning with no additional cream or sugar, and iced in the afternoon with a splash of vanilla soy milk to thicken it up a little. The price is incredibly reasonable for such a quality tea, I can fill my 8 oz tin for the price of 2 oz of the higher end imperial teas. Love it.

Comments about Teavana Earl Grey Creme Flavored Black Tea:
This tea was part of an order I just received yesterday. While the tea wasn't exactly what I expected, I was still very impressed. The aroma is warm and sweet and it tastes just like it smells. I tried it first with just sugar, but found there was a tannic tinge to the tea that was off-putting for me (I tend to shy away from bitter and tannic flavors), but it was very slight, so I added just a small dollop of half-and-half to the tea. It was just right then. There was still a bitterness to it, but that might have been an error on my part either in the temperature or brewing time. I might have gone a little over the time limit. I'll try it again, being more careful about the steeping time, but I really enjoyed this. It would make a great dessert tea in my opinion.

As one that never really was an Earl Grey fan I really enjoyed this. The aroma alone is enough to love on it's own but it really shines when you take that first sip.
