Tea Time Review: Organic Cream of Earl Grey by David’s Tea
Hello fellow readers and tea drinkers! Welcome to another edition of Tea Time Review where I try various types of teas and share my thoughts about them. To see my most recent tea review, click here.
This time I decided to review another one of David’s Teas called “Organic Cream of Earl Grey“. I was a little nervous about trying this blend since I’m not really a fan of Earl Grey, but I was pleasantly surprised at how good this tea would taste.
As the website state’s this blend a creamy version of the classic tea “Early Grey” and it has hints of Bergamot and Vanilla in its blend. It’s recommended that you scoop 1-2 tsp of this tea and steep for a minimum of 4-7 minutes depending on how strong you want it to be.
I steeped it for a total of 5 minutes and this was the result:
Voila! After it cooled off, it was ready to enjoy.
My Overall Thoughts:
I enjoyed this tea. It’s vanilla aroma and creamy taste made it so much better the original Earl Grey (to me). Like most black teas, I added a bit sugar to it, since they can be a bit too strong for me at times. The thing that most stood out to me about this tea was its smooth taste which gave it a calming feel. There’s only a medium amount of caffeine in the tea so it’s perfect for relaxing, but it equallt gives me a small boost of energy.
If you like Earl Grey Tea, I think you’ll definitely enjoy this blend.

Because it’s been so hot, and I’ve not been in A/C, I haven’t had hot tea for weeks, but this one sounds divine. And I’m excited to learn that David’s has some fair-trade options like this one: I will definitely check it out as I’m an Earl Grey fan to begin with (I blame Star Trek and Starship Captain Jean-Luc Picard)!
🙂 I drink hot tea all year long, but if it’s in the summer I have to be in the A/C. I do like cold tea too, but I prefer it to be more along the lines of peach or sweet tea. A cold glass of sweet tea in the summer time is the best! 🙂
I love David’s Earl Grey! But I do find it strong, so best in the winter. I love Davd’s Assam as my daily black tea.
Yes! Earl Grey is a bit strong, I agree. Assam tea is wonderful and even though Darjeeling can be very strong at times I enjoy that as well.
Earl Grey Bergamot is no doubt my favourite.But, before retiring to bed at night I live to sip chammomile tea .Its so soothing and has a calming effect on my system.
Chamomile is definitely my favorite relaxation tea! 😀
This sounds Devine! I think I’m going to have to buy some of this to try and review on my blog 😊 – http://www.teaisawishyourheartmakes.wordpress.com 💖
