Review: The de Grancy

The de Grancy [Black, flavored] *** $$ by Cafe de Grancy CH

Other Names: None

With my natural distrust for flavoured teas, I approached this one with little expectations. Black flavoured teas especially can be a sh*t show, as european blenders seem to think that the heaviness of black tea can accomodate a serious melange of diverse flavours. The discription of Earl Grey flavored with ginger and rose looked like it might be such a mix but in contrast the blend does very well with all three main flavours (bergamot, rose and ginger) being used sparingly and creating a very pleasant brew. This tea smells very strongly of earl grey.

With flavouring, less is most definitely more...
