I had the Capital Teas Cream Earl Grey Black Tea with milk and sugar. Before adding sugar, the vanilla in it made it smell sweet like caramel. When I sipped it, it definitely needed sugar. After a sips or two, the overpowering saccharine smell diminshed, when I could really being to enjoy the tea. As I kept having it, I felt like I was in a garden eating some flowers, not that I have done something like it before (but how tasting a flower which smells so would be) but that the smoothness and complexity of this tea is in its waltz of taste and smell synesthesia. Oolong tea has never caught me. But I look forward to trying more Earl grey teas.
