Earl Grey De La Crème

I was skeptical about a creamy earl grey but the vanilla rounds out the bergamot so well I've replaced my morning coffee with it. The cornflowers are a pretty touch too, though I mostly just care that it doesn't go bitter if I forget the steep time.

The vanilla and cornflowers make this Earl Grey taste like a dessert in a cup, yet it still has that proper black tea backbone. I've been brewing it every afternoon since it arrived, and the creamy finish lingers just enough to feel indulgent without being heavy.

I was skeptical about adding cornflowers to tea, but they give it a soft, floral lift that balances the vanilla sweetness perfectly. This is my afternoon pick-me-up now, and the creamy body makes it feel more like a treat than a regular cuppa.
