Phyllis Earl Grey Eco

In my mug this morning is Brook 37’s Phyllis Earl Grey. This Earl grey is unlike any other out there. Elegant, unique and complex while still true to its Earl Grey roots! Who knew licorice and pineapple would make such a perfect Earl Grey! I love this blend so much that when they did their big sale recently I bought 5 refills

Today’s tea break from traveling features a lovely cup of Phyllis Earl Grey from Brook37, perfectly paired with buttery shortbread fingers from Highgrove.

I have heard a lot about Phyllis Earl Grey from Brook37 Tea Atelier, and was excited to give it a try! The packaging is beautiful. I made it both hot and cold. Hot Brew: I brewed 9 ounces of water at 194 degrees for five minutes. The brew is clear and light brown/orange in color. It is light in body and astringency. The bergamot (Early Grey flavor) is complemented with floral and fruit flavors. Cold Brew: I brewed it in the refrigerator for about 10 hours. It has a clear yellow coloring. The fruit flavors were more predominate with a hint of licorice root on the finish. It was light and refreshing. I could imagine myself enjoying it on a hot summer day. Overall, it was a really nice tea. If I'm looking for a traditional Earl Grey, this isn't it, but that's ok. It is probably a tea I would reach more for when the weather is nicer and I'm looking for a lighter tea.

As an Earl Grey lover, I was impressed by how seamlessly the unique ingredients harmonize. Versatility: Lovely on its own, it also adapts well to additions. With a touch of milk and sugar the citrus softens, creating a velvety, comforting cup. Prepared as a London Fog with lavender and vanilla syrups and frothed milk, it becomes an aromatic, indulgent treat. Iced with vanilla honey and lemon, it transforms into a vibrant, refreshing sip. Brook37’s new eco-friendly container is sleek and stunning. I appreciate the resealable pouch to keep the tea fresh. Their biodegradable pyramid teabags are generously sized, allowing the tea to fully bloom.

Phyllis Earl Grey, a delightful modern interpretation of a timeless classic tea. The addition of pineapple lends a sweetness unparalleled in other Earl Greys. Licorice root prevents the blend from becoming overly sweet, while complementing the bergamot. Calendula contributes a smooth, creamy flavor, rendering the addition of milk or sugar unnecessary. In fact, I believe that adding a plant-based milk would overpower the delicate flavor profile. This tea is a lovely tropical blend with subtle floral hints. I look forward to introducing my sister-in-law, an Earl Grey aficionado, to this exceptional tea.delightful modern interpretation of a timeless classic tea. Brook37's commitment to environmental and social sustainability is commendable, as evidenced by their membership in 1% For the Planet, eco-friendly packaging, and donations towards education.
