A. Denise Moulun-Pasek★★★★★

I have been drinking Cream of Earl Grey tea every morning for years now and it never gets old. Steeped for 3 minutes, served with whole milk and a hint of honey, it is so very satisfying. I will be purchasing it for years to come and I look forward to tasting Vintage Fork’s Double Cream Earl Grey!

It is the delightful scent of the tea that lures me. Whether it is as I open the loose tea bag, or lift the cover of my tea caddy, or inhale the rising steam from my freshly brewed cup of tea, it is one of the most inviting scents that I long for. My family and friends are recipients of teas from Vintage Fork, and love it as much as I do!

This has been my favorite version of this tea for awhile now. I love it. A bit of warm milk and some Mexican vanilla and I’m in heaven.

Fragrant and creamy, this Cream of Earl Grey is like a trusted old friend. My go-to for morning caffeine and calm when I don't want "in-your-face" bergamot of regular Earl Grey.

This tea is a classic! If you enjoyed Cream of Earl tea from other retailers, you are are in for a pleasant surprise. Better flavour & aroma. Hot or cold, sweetened or not. This is a fabulous tea choice.

I relish the aroma of the tea as I open the cannister. I breathe deeply as I scoop the tea leaves into my little seive. After the tea is steeped, once again the tea releases its fragrance, and I can hardly wait to drink it, but it's still too hot. Finally, the moment arrives and I sip the delicious fragrant tea. I can drink it all day, but that first cup is the best. It starts my day in a very good way. Thank you for an excellent tea and product!

Charlotte Rollans★★★★★

I adore this Cream of Earl Grey tea. It is a strong black tea with a good depth of flavour, but has these wonderful sweet and creamy notes to lighten it up. It is perfect for anyone who loves adding a bit of sweetness to their cup of Earl Grey, and should be a staple for anyone who prefers more traditional tea flavours.

This has been my favourite Earl Grey spin in ages. I love that it's a touch more rich than regular Earl Grey, but not as citrusy as Lady Grey. Extra best is that it comes in decaf!!

Opening this packet was so delightful! The smell was just as lovely as the flavour! The tea blossomed beautifully! Perfect for these fall mornings!

Delivery was the same night! Awesome. We waited a few days before trying it. I love that it is a bit on the earthy side and it does indeed develop a creamy taste without losing the Earl Gray or lavender taste. Thanks for a terrific product. BTW: Works great in a London Fog style dring too.
