Introductions
Welcome to the official first scoop of The Tea Scoop!
I intend for this blog to be about all things related to tea, and let's face it, more and more things are falling under that umbrella as the number of tea drinkers worldwide increases. It's the hottest new beverage around (pun intended).
I begin this entry with a review of Tealuxe's "Extra Bergamot Earl Grey"
The liquor is a deep red color, and clear, as it should be, and has a lovely aroma. The flavor does not quite live up to its reputation. While the bergamot flavor is certainly there, it is not as strong as might be expected from the name. As an Earl Grey, it is delicious, but as an Extra Bergamot Earl Grey, it is lacking.
In the future, look for reviews of teas, tea-related products, and teahouses, as well as articles about the health benefits of tea and even a recipe or tea.
