Two Leaves and a Bud Earl Grey Tea Recommended by Whom You Know

Two Leaves and a Bud tea is no ordinary tea.  Based in Colorado, the company gets their name from the small blossoms (the two leaves and bud) of the tea flower.  The packaging is very informative with an entire panel of the box being devoted to the "flavor profile".  The flavor profile offers information such as top note, middle note, finish, character, leaf style and caffeine.  It also gives the suggested water temp, steep time, origin, elevation and the time of day when it is best enjoyed.  This Earl Grey tea is organic and is a lovely start to the day.  I very much enjoyed starting my day with a hot mug of this Earl Grey tea and suggest you give it a try too!

The Organic Earl Grey Black Tea by Two Leaves and a Bud is by far the best Earl Grey tea I have ever tasted!  If you enjoy Earl Grey, then you will absolutely love this tea!  I am looking forward to starting off every morning from now on with a cup of this delicious and soothing hot beverage.  Two Leaves and a Bud uses only large leaf organic black tea from Sri Lanka along with just a bit of natural bergamot.  These ingredients give the tea its perfect taste.  I especially enjoyed the hint of bergamot, which gives the tea a citrus and slightly spicy flavor.  After trying Two Leaves and a Bud Earl Grey, you will never be able to drink anything else!

Although I consider myself mainly a "coffee person," a cup of tea, when done right, can really make my day!  Such was the case when I tried the Earl Grey tea from Two Leaves and a Bud Tea Company.  Dedicated to excellence, this company works to provide consumers with only the finest teas, sourced from single geographic regions and approved by their experience tasters.  Unlike traditional tea bags, the Two Leaves tea sachets contain whole leaf tea, not powder.  The sachets are clear, so the moment you dip them in hot water, you can see the leaves expand, bringing you a depth and freshness of taste that far surpasses your everyday, run-of-the-mill tea!  The Early Grey was the best I've ever tasted - the bergamot was tangy and sweet and added complexity to the flavor, but it was far from overpowering.  The strong taste of the black ceylon tea came through beautifully, and without a touch of bitterness!  Another thing I love about this company is the packaging, which describes the tea in terms one would normally associate with wine (top note, middle note, finish, character), and gives practical information on how best to enjoy it (ideal water temperature, brewing time, etc.).  I thoroughly enjoyed my Earl Grey and am looking forward to another cup with breakfast tomorrow.  Look out coffee - you've got some competition!

I'm a tea drinker and Earl Grey is one of my favs. Two Leaves has one of the best tasting Earl Grey teas around! This is an organic tea, which is a plus. I did a little research on this tea brand and read that the tea is made from high quality black leaves which "get their legendary flavor from natural bergamot oil - oil from a citrus fruit grown in Bergamo, Italy". The tea stays true to its description! It has a very rich and robust flavor. It also goes down very smooth. I'm a fan!

I have never been much of a fan of Earl Grey Tea in the past.  I think it's because of the aroma before I even take a sip.  When I saw the Two Leaves Earl Grey Tea, I thought I'd give it another chance.  I was glad I did.  The aroma wasn't as overpowering as other brands I've tried.  The taste wasn't as overpowering as well either.  Many of my friends love Earl Grey tea and I immediately told them about Two Leaves Earl Grey.  I am so happy I gave it another chance.  If not, I would've missed out on a wonderful tea.

Two Leaves Earl Grey is simply delicious! I love this tea. The tea itself has so much flavor that I just can't get enough. I swear I drink about 3 cups of this only in the morning. The tea has a delicate but full flavor that packs a punch. For the record I like to use this tea to make iced tea. Warm or cold it's perfection.
