Any recomendations for Earl Gray? Prefferably in a tin (I like to
collect the tins) I've been drinking Twinings which is enjoyable but
seems lacking. They claim its made from the finest teas but there is a
heck of a lot of stems in there.

On a different note Sunflower, Jasmin Tea, I love this tea.

Thanks

I'm not an Earl Grey buff but I have some friends who like it and
are partial to Upton's Extra Bergamot English Earl Grey (TE11)
as well as their Finest Earl Grey (TE20).

It doesn't come in tins but I really like Eastern Shore brand Earl
Grey. I lined up about 15 different highly rated Earl Greys and tasted
them all side by side and this was the winner, to my taste at least.

Small package

or by the pound

Golden Moon Tippy Earl Grey was a good second choice for me and it
does com in tins.

Harneys' Supreme Earl Grey is my favorite, with La Russe Douchka from
Damman Freres a close second. And Harneys does come in a tin!

I suggest that you try different ones for yourself because the best Earl
Grey for you may very much depend on the base tea as much as it depends on
the amount of bergamot. For example, Twinings is so-so for me, Bigelow is
good, and Hedley's makes me gag. Hedley's uses Ceylon and the others use
Asian blends or China blacks or something like that and while I've yet to
find my perfect Earl Grey, I've found that the Earl Greys made with Ceylon
base teas are the ones that I'm most likely to pour down the drain.

Well, you might drop by www.englishteastore.com and try theirs. I liked it
the last time I tried it, and they just switched to metal tins from clear
plastic cylinders.

I agree. the englishteastore.com has some pretty good ones. I also like
the grand earl grey from www.teanas.com.
