Russian Earl Grey Tea

Sixteen years ago I bought two boxes of what I assumed were two Russian teas at the newly opened Big Lots store in Elmira, NY. The boxes were printed in the Cyrillic alphabet with beautiful artwork but the price label only identified them as 'tea'. When I went back, they didn't have any more of either and I've spent the last sixteen years trying all sorts of 'Russian" teas trying to find them. The one was a type of Earl Grey with a strong blending of citrus/bergamont/lemongrass flavors. I finally found it in your Russian Earl Grey tea. ( I still haven't found the other tea but it is definitely NOT Russian Caravan!} I will be ordering this often as it is great at any time of day but especially enjoyable on cold mornings from late fall through spring.

very nice

Great citrus flavor, I was surprised how much I enjoyed this tea. The orange and lemongrass complement each other very well. I like this version much better than the regular Earl Grey teas.

Love this unusual tea! Excellent quality. Will reorder.

It's the Spanish orange which makes this blend zesty. A perfect breakfast tea for me. Chef Jim

this has added flavor and is bold but smooth. nice full bodied afternoon tea

Wonderful - as always!

very nice, not something I would want several times a day, but I like it.

We just LOVE this particular blend so much

This is my favorite tea. I am so pleased to have found a source for Russian Earl Grey that is in the United States and the tea is excellent.

has other complex flavors besides bergamot which enhance it greatly

This is great Earl Grey style tea.

Although it was not what I was expecting I did enjoy this. I was hoping for more bergamot - so instead of it being a morning tea for me I have starting drinking it as an afternoon/ evening tea

It's a beautiful earl grey with which is brightened up by the addition of lemongrass. I brew it is a glass pot to enjoy the beauty of the tea mixture.

Ordered this product in hopes of surprising my wife with a tea she had while at Walt Disney World and succeeded. The product was fresh and tasted great and it arrives much quicker than I expected. Fantastic service and experience.

Nice flavor, has lemon-orange-bergamot, good for cold days; first discovered it in Europe;; I like the loose leaves, much better than tea bags of lower quality,,just don't over-steep. Very fast shipment, nice bag!

Interesting variation. Aroma and taste very pleasant. A nice change from the original.

I had been looking for this flavor, after I'd discovered it in Europe. The package arrived promptly, and the bad was much easier to use than some other stores'. Wonderful aroma (bergamot, lemon peel and the loose leaf tea is much superior to the powders and the tea bags with clippings). If you like Earl Grey you will enjoy this variety.

EARL GREY IN ANY VERSION IS JOY ON A SNOWY AFTERNOON BUT RUSSIAN EARL IS LIKE CUDDLING UP WITH A GOOD BOOK BY THE FIRE -- JUST THR TINIEST HINT OF SMOKE FOR ATMOSPHERE.

I've been looking for this type f tea since I drank it at an uncles years ago, could never find it, but now I have,,,, fragrent, fruity, citrususy but all on a very subtile level,,, will reorder some more soon

Very good tea with strong citrus flavor

This is among my all time favorite black teas. I buy more every time the bag starts to run low.

This is one of our fav teas.

My husband is a big Earl Grey drinker and enjoys it served hot or cold. I decided to order this for him to try, as he likes to add citrus to his teas. (I am not a fan of Earl Grey so this is his quick review). He said, "it is a good, but different blend, which has a very strong lemony citrus flavor but not enough to overpower the Earl Grey bergamot. It's smooth and is without a harsh aftertaste." He adds that this blend is very refreshing when served iced and is his preferred way to enjoy it.

My favorite blend since I was a teenager.

This tea was a huge hit at our house. Very flavorful. Delicious.

Amazing flavor, rich and unusual. Tried it at a friends party first, now have some of my own.

This one surprised me. What a wonderful way to nudge me into a new day with its fresh taste and fragrance. The only thing better than waking up each morning is that first cup of good tea.

I'm glad I tried something a little different. It's delicately spiced but doesn't overwhelm the Earl Grey bergamot. It's just a nice change sometimes from my old and all time favorite Earl Grey.

#1 tea on my list. Too good for words; have to try it.

A wonderful variation on Earl Grey with a touch more flavor.

A very aromatic and delicious tea that I would recommend to anyone. Great solo, perfection with a touch of sweetener!

This is a delicious tea that I enjoy every day. Enjoying Tea service has been excellent as long as I have ordered from them -- except for my current order, which arrived with a split in the seam of the packaging which helps preserve freshness, and with the enclosure of a discount-for-future-orders coupon which will expire well in advance of when I would normally order, based on the size of the order and my well-established order pattern.

Love it!

Your loose tea is wonderful. This loose tea is robust without being too intense. I've been using teabags for years. Now I know that loose tea makes teabag tea taste like tea dust.

Best Earl Grey I ever tasted....

This tea is awesome. Bright , crisp flavor and beautiful aroma and appearance ! It's such a favorite , we order the 8 oz size and drink it almost every morning.

Russian Earl Grey Tea is my favorite and your tea is awesome!

This has got to be the most delicious Earl Grey I have ever tasted.

Being a big fan of Earl Grey, I thought I'd give this a try and I was very pleasantly surprised! This tea maintains the richness of Earl Grey with the addition of a crisp floral burst. I drink it hot, straight and it's very satisfying!

This tea is smooth, fragrant and makes a wonderful Ice tea, A nice treat and pick me up on a warm summer day! Enjoying Tea has some of the best teas I have found.

I took a chance with something new, never have had Russian tea style of any sort. This was good. Interesting flavor, and the flowery overtones were not overwhelming. Very good just as is (I don't use sugar or cream).
