Earl Grey de la Creme - Steeped - black tea

This is another tea that I received in my Steeped kit.  I've never been much of a straight up Earl Grey fan, but I heard great things about this tea, so I was anxious to try it.

Supposedly this is the tea that Steeped founder Tonia Jahshan tasted that inspired her to start the company.  Powerful tea!

I steeped it just below boiling for 3 minutes.  I decided to give it a few sips before sweetening or adding anything to it.  It had a nice, mellow, creamy flavor.  I then added a little sugar and a little milk to it, for the classic English cuppa.  The milk and sugar really brought out the mellow flavors.  It's not one of those teas that makes me say, "yay!", but it's one I will go to when I want a simple, hot cup of tea.
