For many years I have been a fan of Earl Grey tea from Twinings Tea. Recently I discovered Monks Pear Tea from a company called Adore Tea and then I tried the blend from T2 tea. The main flavour is from the bergamot but what makes it different is the addition of pear flavours.
Bliss! This is now my favourite blend of tea. Here is a description from the T2 web site
Big, bold and sweet, yet surprisingly humble, a black tea blend with sweet jasmine blossoms, classic bergamot and crisp pear flavours. Pear is there from the outset, but the floral bergamot finish lingers for lovely effect. An almost full-bodied, heavier fruity black that takes a traditional Earl Grey and gives it a fabulously fruity twist.
Read more on the T2 web site and be sure to like their Facebook page which is how I found out about this tea!

This sounds yummy. I’m a big fan of Twinings Earl Grey as well and have come to quite like Twinings’ new Australian Afternoon Tea but will have to give Monks Pear Tea a go next time I’m near a T2!

I always added milk to Earl Gray tea, but last night I drank the tea without milk and it was much better. Yum!
