earl grey
Steep for 3-5 minutes, 208°F
The health benefits of black teas are often overshadowed by those of their green counterparts. This stands to reason since much of the original information about teas and health came to us through Chinese research institutes, and China is a nation of green tea drinkers.
Luckily for us, recent studies done on black teas are very encouraging to those of us interested in our heart and cardiovascular health. It seems the theaflavins and thearubigens found in black teas have favorable effects on the cardiovascular system. Reduced risk of stroke and heart attack are two of the most commonly sited health benefits of black teas.
Very good. Don't oversteep.
This is delicious Earl Grey. If you grew up on a certain Earl Grey in the yellow paper packet, you know what it's like when some other brand gets it wrong. This gets it very right. Better, even. I suggest sticking to the lower end of the recommended brewing time though, steeping for three minutes instead of five, particularly if you don't use milk or sugar. It can be bitter by five.

Absolutely smitten
I had this Teaforte Earl Grey Tea for the first time last evening at The Cut Steak House in Halifax, N.S. I mentioned to our server, Keith, how I was enjoying the cup & commented that it was definately the best cup of Earl Grey I had ever had. Pleasantly very different I told him. Sooo, he gave me 2 to bring home with me. Bless him, now I won't rest until I manage to get myself to a store to purchase some for my stash. I am a real tea fan & I see it as becoming my new favorite tea!! The fact that these are organic, perhaps some of the reason for the unusual flavor, I look forward to trying other Tea forte flavors.

Simply the BEST
My husband brought Tea Forte Earl Grey tea home for me from a business trip. When I first tasted it, I couldn't believe my taste buds! This tea is exquisite perfection. I am an avid tea drinker (and kind of a snob about it, too) and there is no other tea I've tried that is better than Tea Forte. The fact that it is organic only elevates it's stellar quality. I would say I'm totally hooked! Looking forward to tasting other varieties.

Earl grey is a classic tea
Earl grey is a classic tea and this Tea Forte blend is my absolute favorite. I have tried loose and bagged and this is by far the best Earl Grey I've tasted.
