| A perfect tea for starting the day -- robust and flavorful. Its even pretty to look at. Nothing like the flavorless Earl Grey one finds in bags. This is a new favorite! |

A Very Fine Tea Indeed!!! |
3/27/2017 |
| I recently discovered Simpson and Vail Tea, as I was shopping for a loose tea on amazon (I had received a gift card for my sweet 16th from my uncle and aunt). I was very impressed by the quality described in the description, and the price was incredible! I ordered 3 teas; Victorian Earl Grey, Moroccan Mint, and Highland Morn. When they arrived I was completely dazzled by them! They tasted so good! Since this review is for the Victorian Earl Grey, I will discuss that one. It was beautifully soft and the brew had a lovely color. It was sweet and had lovely floral notes all throughout it. It was very smooth and I enjoyed it greatly! On the whole, I was impressed on all fronts and hope to purchase more tea from Simpson and Vail soon!!! |

| Drinking this tea makes me feel like a lady of luxury. It pairs well with a simple butter cookie so nothing detracts from the exquisite flavor of the tea. |

Earl Grey fit for Royalty. |
2/17/2017 |
| The blending in this tea is such high quality, you can truly taste the rose petals and the lavender while the bergamot just pulls it all together. Every time I drink this tea I say this is what royalty would drink and then I think of the movie coming to America with Eddie Murphy as king of Zamunda walking on rose petals, call me crazy but this tea is Really Good. |

| I bought this mostly looking for a version of Earl Grey I could use in historical reenactments, and am totally hooked! The floral notes add a sweetness but are not overpowering, and the bergamot is rich, but not too blatant. Well worth coming back for again and again |

The tea that brought me here... |

| This is my favorite earl grey! The rosemary and florals just give it that little bit extra to make it special. My first bag of this was actually given to me as a gift, by someone who thought this would be right up my alley... boy way she right! Ive since sent samples of this to every Earl Grey lover I know... and everyone has loved it. This is one of S&Vs Flagship teas, delicious, decadent, and impossible to go wrong with! |

| The leaves smell heavenly, like a flush summer garden. Brews to a gorgeous, reddish amber cup. Brewed tea has the unmistakable bergamot. The lavender and rosemary lend a balancing, forward note that lend much more nuance than any standard Earl Grey. The rose is there, but its sort of a background boost, lending a light malt that forms the backbone of the tea. The floral elements lend enough sweetness on their own, I felt no need to add any cream or sugar. Overall its a lovely, light, complex tea. I can see myself going through the rest of it very quickly! |

Floral and Robust at the Same Time |

| If you enjoy sipping tea with a lovely floral note and also enjoy the citrusy flavor of bergamot then this is the tea for you. Decadent yet refined enough for everyday use, it reminds me of sipping tea in a lush garden filled with the fragrance of blossoms. |

| One of my absolute favorite teas is Earl Grey. The sweet smell of bergamot always soothes my soul with its rich amber color. My grandmother still only orders EG whenever we go to tea. Since I was a little girl, some 48+ years ago, my mom would give me a cup of EG in her fine China and make me feel like royalty. She would have loved this blend even more. You get the sweet bergamot with the delicious aromas of rose and lavender, which make for a beautiful amber with a slight rose color, it may be my imagination that I see rose. This is truly a heavenly blend. I will definitely keep this on hand. Its soothing just sniffing the bag! |

| Also known as Lady Jane Grey tea, this blend combines the delicate orange bergamot flavor of Earl Grey with a hint of flowers. We have tried other blends with this name from competitors, but this is best blend. The tea retains its full flavor but adds hints of orange and flowers. |

Nice Earl. |

| Im already fond of lavender Earls and rose tea, so I figured this was worth a try. I was a little afraid that the rosemary would be overpowering from the strong smell in the dry mix, but it really wasnt. In fact, I hardly notice it at all. I like it with some sugar to bring out the floral flavors. |

Favorite Blend of all Time! |

Decent Earl Grey |

| This Earl Grey has very good aromatics. The Rose and Bergamot are both present. However taste wise the Bergamot could be more prominent. The those is subtle but present. Although I think this tea is good I have others that have more prominent Earl Grey flavor that I will go to first. I would personally not re buy this one but can see why others would like it. |

| We have tried many tea companies, and many blends. We always return to this one. We have done business with this company since they were located in the Wall Street area of Manhattan in the 1960s, and this blend has been a consistent favorite. If you think this is overpriced, try their competition ...you will return here for the taste. Yes, it is that good. |

My Favorite |

| Earl Grey Teas are my favorites. This Victorian Earl Grey tea is my all time favorite tea. I sometimes add half-and half. Sometimes add a little lime juice. Sometimes I add nothing. I dont sweeten my teas. Victorian has a little natural sweetness from the rose petals. If I did sweeten it, I would go with honey. |
