LiberTeas will forever be the reigning champion of Earl Greys but I decided to take a stab at naming my Top Ten FLAVORED Earl Greys of the Moment – just for kicks! These Earl Greys are FLAVORED and when I mean FLAVORED I mean they have additional or more-than-just-your-regular-Earl-Grey-flavorings going on! They have additional or unique flavors that you wouldn’t find in a straight-up EG. Some mentioned above even have a non-black tea base but have EG flavors so those also qualified for my FLAVORED list. Of course MY taste buds differ from everyone elses and yours differ from mine. These are just 10 of them that really stood out to me and I thought deserved an additional mention. A few even went back a year or two in the archives. If you do not see your favorites on this list – let us know in comments and we will try and locate them – and try them – if possible.
Early Grey Organic Tea from Care Tea
Early Grey Organic Tea from Care Tea infuses to a nice, solid, dark brown and smells like a stronger black tea base especially for it being in a bag! The aroma of the Earl Grey scents are not as strong as I have smelled with other teas but it is present.
The taste of this Early Grey Organic Tea from Care Tea is an eye-opener! The black tea base is sturdy and prominent. Then the Earl Grey flavor pops in. There are astringent punches at the end of the sip. The hint of bergamot pops in and out throughout your sipping experience. I can tell that Early Grey Organic Tea from Care Tea is a HIGH Caffeine Tea and today I can certainly use that!
I wanted to dig in a little deeper to this tea company. Why was it named Care Tea? Very simply… From the earth to your cup… We care about your health We care about the community We care about the planet It all leads to purity in every sip. Good taste, good health, good tea. That’s certainly something I can side with! And Early Grey Organic Tea from Care Tea is certainly a bagged tea I can see myself drinking again!

It’s #MusicAndTeaMonday and I hope you will join us by posting on your favorite social media! #MusicAndTeaMonday: London Fog from Harlow Tea is the tea I chose today and the song pairing is London Calling by The Clash!
It’s been a while since my last flavored Earl Grey so I thought I was about due and London Fog from Harlow Tea stood up to the test! The black tea base is of medium strength and the flavors are a slight notch above medium. The Earl Grey-ness is peppy but the addition of the lemon peel and lavender flowers really take it to the next level in terms of flavor.
London Fog from Harlow Tea is such a comforting cuppa. I would share this with just about anyone – it’s that type of tea. Now…let’s get on to the music pairing for #MusicAndTeaMonday.
