Russian Earl Grey Tea

I am a tea connoisseur with a borderline tea addiction. I live in San Francisco and regularly visit China Town to do tea tastings, and I have also experienced traditional tea ceremonies in Kyoto. Thus, I have been exposed to a variety of phenomenal teas – considered by some to be of the highest quality in the world. Before tasting these Whidbey Tea Bags - Chamomile Mint, I didn't have any expectations. However – after brewing myself a cup – my senses were immediately vitalized by the splendid aroma. Subsequent to my tea steeping and cooling down, I was even more thrilled by how delicious it tasted. The quality of these tea bags are on par with any of my favorite chamomile teas that I have tasted around the world. I will be regularly ordering Whidbey tea from here on out.

I love Earl Grey tea but if tea drinkers would be honest, many if not most have a heavy, perfume like taste with a dry aftertaste. This tea is incredible. Flavor filled with a sweet aroma and a surprisingly sweet with notes of orange and almost a roobious like tea embedded in the aftertaste. This is what Earl Grey was supposed to taste like. I doubt I will drink another brand of Earl Grey in the future; this tea is that good.

I received a sample of this tea in a wellness box, the sample was FABULOUS! I went an ordered it online immediately. The tea I received is the same packaging however the taste is not the same, close but still not the "knock my socks off" taste from the first sample bag.

A friend referred this tea to me, and I’m so glad she did! It used to only be available in boutiques, so it’s so nice that it’s finally on Amazon.The Native American inspired design is absolutely lovely (“Whidbey” is an island in the San Juan’s near Seattle). And the silk bags inside look nice, and steep wonderfully.As to the tea itself, before steeping it smells a little of anise and slightly herbaceous. Once brewed, it has a pretty light mouth feel, little acidity and full flavor. I normally prefer teas with a little more body, but this one is balanced well. I really enjoy drinking this on its own, but it might not pair with heavier foods.Overall, this in an amazing tea!! Highly recommend both this blend and the Russian Early Grey.

I have been hearing about Whidbey Tea for some time now and finally ordered the Russian Earl Gray and Mango Oloong blends. I am very particular about my tea having had some of the best in the UK and China. I was pleasantly surprised by the high quality of tea and fragrance of both these blends. I can drink these teas all day and look forward to trying some of the other blends. Highly recommend!

I’m no tea connoisseur, but WOW! The Spiced Rooibos is delicious!!! I like things a little sweet, so one sweetener packet, and it was perfect for me. The smell is just amazing. This should be an air freshener scent it’s that good. Might be just the right tea to convert me to just a tea drinker and kick coffee.

I didn’t think it had a chocolate flavor at all.

I recently compared tea from Teapigs, Whidbey, and Ambience. Whidbey is Assamese black tea and needs longer brewing time to release the full aroma. I found the tea from Teapigs (nice aromatic tea made from Assamese, Srilankan, and Rwandan tea mix) to be the best among these three with Ambience the worst.I also preferred Twinnings Darjeeling black tea over Whidbey and it is considerably cheaper.So if you want to spend the money go for Teapigs or better still Tea Forte which has the best packaging and flavor.
