Teavana Earl Grey Crème, Black Tea With Lavender and Vanilla Notes, 60 Count (4 Packs of 15 Sachets)

I have been having the urge to run to the franchise a bit more often now that it is getting colder, but with remote work and snow on the way, the trek was not worth the drive. I found out what tea was used in the London Fog latte and ordered these tea sachets and made the best homemade dupe London Fog latte using stevia and vanilla extract in addition to almond milk. I found the flavor to be rich and delightful. As I was reading reviews and thnking about the drinks at Starbucks I realized that looking at the customization from many of the drinks (I mobile order and pick up a lot), that many of them used two tea bags for a bolder flavor on most size drinks. I thought that it tasted fine with one tea bag in my large tea cup which is between a tall and grande in ounces.

If mermaids were amphibianized and walked into your local tea house cafe (pre-pandemic times of course), this is the tea they would order. A delight for mermaids and humans alike, the flavor is bold and whimsical. Add a few tablespoons of your favorite creamer for a soothing lavender tea latte to rival any venti sized drink you buy for the same price of one of these boxes. I like the container the tea bags come in which can be reused in fun hipster ways. Be advised that for a bold flavor and to really taste the notes of lavender you have to brew 2 bags. You can get away with 1 bag brewing but it will result in a light taste of lavender. If you’re feeling blue and down, order this tea to boost your energy and believe in goodness again.

Yes, I did say better than Starbucks. I’m sure you’re thinking it is Starbucks Teavana so how can it be better?When I first opened the container & took out the sachet, I was afraid I made a huge mistake changing from the regular Tazo Earl Grey Teabags to the Earl Grey Teavana sachets. There seemed to be a lot less loose tea in the sachet compared to the London Fog Latte sachets at Starbucks.So I made my London Fog Latte like they would at Starbucks, with 2 Teavana sachets. I use 2 pumps of Torani Vanilla Syrup vs the normal 5 pumps used at Starbucks, then 10oz of hot water, & 10oz of soy and/or skim milk.For me the the bergamot citrus & fragrant lavender was overwhelming to the palate with the 2 sachets. My next drink, I only added one Teavana sachet & it was the perfect blend.I do recommend letting the sachet seep for 3-5 minutes before drinking. If you find the Earl Grey Teavana flavor to be overwhelming, go with the Tazo Tea instead. It’s definitely a more mild blend of flavors. I switch between the two... It just depends on what I’m in the mood for.Also if you’re not hip on the Earl Grey flavor, you can go with the Tazo English Breakfast teabags & recreate Starbucks Royal English Breakfast Latte using the same combo mentioned above.Once again, I only use one sachet or teabag for a 20oz drink compared to Starbucks Venti 16oz drink. In my opinion, you just need to let it seep longer than using 2 sachets/teabags.

Bought this to supplement my normal Starbucks tea while we're on lockdown. It's definitely not the same. There is a strong top note of lavender & a savory sweetness that isn't like your classic Earl Grey tea. I find I really like it though & am happy to have it replace my usual morning cuppa.

I love this tea. The teabags are of high quality. The tea is strong so you can brew it in a larger cup, it has enough strength for 14 oz cup IMHO unless you like it strong and plan to add milk. The flavor is of bergamot but it's gentle. Plus, there's an aroma to it, it says notes of lavender and vanilla which aren't strong /overpowering but they add to the flavor making it not a regular earl gray but "creme". It became popular with people I gifted it to. Nice tea!

This tea has so much potential, yet is basically too weak; requiring two bags to make a proper cup of tea.A better alternative is Revolution Tea’s Earl Grey Lavender — with premium whole leaf tea and genuine lavender petals.Update: This tea actually makes a welcome addition to other black tea like Yorkshire Gold. The two teas, together, make a very pleasant cup of tea.

This is truly the best tasting tea I have ever had! Nothing else even comes close. It’s difficult - if not impossible - to find an Earl Grey blend that doesn’t contain bergamot. It is not a flavor I enjoy in my tea, so the fact that this blend is so delicious and mellow without that sort of bitter aftertaste you get from the citrus oils is phenomenal. It has become a mainstay and a staple in my household, and I enjoy it morning, noon, or night! My mom, husband, coworkers, and everyone else who has tried this has now become a fan! For a fabulous “London Fog” style tea latte, I just add a few pumps of vanilla syrup (Torani or Monin are best) and some steamed milk to the brewed tea. You’re welcome! ;-) I will be devastated if they ever stop making this flavor!

I fell in love with Earl Grey tea because of this tea. I really like it but Teavana has stopped selling this flavor at my local store so occasionally I will find it on Amazon. If you do, enjoy it because it’s really awesome!
