The teas sold by NM Tea Co. are almost uniformly better than you can find elsewhere, but this particular tea is beyond enchanting. Drunk hot with a bit of cream, it's smooth vanilla sweetness is almost unbelievably gratifying. I've restrained myself to only drinking four cups a day. Running low on my first stash I was ready to tear my hair out (or at least get an Albuquerqueian friend to mail me more) until I realized they ship, for free! Seriously; this might not be the most complex or nuanced tea you've ever had, but it might be the most delicious. You *must* try some.

I'm not a big black tea drinker, but do, on occasion, enjoy Earl Grey, so I got this today thinking it would just be something I'd want very occasionally. But wow, this is amazing tea! I followed the recipe for a London Fog steamer, and it is so delicious, I can see myself drinking this regularly! I also tried it without milk or sweetener, and I might even prefer it that way! Without milk and sugar the florals are lovely and delicate, not overwhelming, but they are strong enough to stand up to milk too. If you're an Earl Grey lover, you will really like this, but even if you only occasionally drink black tea, it's worth trying, because this is phenomenally good!

But it's the one I drink the most! It's perfect for any time of day, evening, night, hot, cold... I mean, drink it hot or cold. It is rare for a cup to be left over, but when it is, I put it in the fridge and have "iced" tea the next day.

I'm giving this 5 stars because every tea I've purchased from NM Tea Co is of the utmost quality, and this is no exception. However, I am a consummate Earl Grey drinker, and I do not like this take on a classic one bit. The vanilla is out of place. The floral notes are too dominant. Will not purchase again.

I keep returning to this over and over. Good with our without milk. It makes waking up in the morning more fun.

I love this tea! Nothing more delightful than a cup of cream earl grey in the afternoon.

Light bergamot flavor. Would prefer it to be a little stronger, but still a beautiful EGC. The cream does not taste artificial, as so many can, and I find that I reach for this one more frequently than any other breakfast tea.

The Earl grey is good, but it could do with more bergamot flavor, and less of the sweet, 'creme' flavor.

This is by far my most favorite tea ever! The creaminess and balance always have my coming back for more. Many Earl Grey teas are very harsh and acidic, but this one is perfectly smooth. Love It!!

This Earl Grey lends a creamy flavor to the taste that makes it better than the classic Earl Grey in my opinion. I make a London Fog of it, and have it with pecan shortbread cookies and it's just the perfect tea for that.

Our absolute favorite of NM Tea Co.'s offerings! Rich, smooth & delightful. The cream perfectly alances the bergamot, and neither overwhelms the tea base. Love it - the cognac of tea!

I tried this on a whim and it has become my favorite tea. I drink it hot or cold, morning or evening, to wake me up or put me to bed. I even ordered the 16 oz. and started distributing little packets to friends and family who are big tea drinkers. It has always gotten a great response.

NM Tea Company-- please don't ever change your perfect Early Grey Creme tea! I was once a Teavana devotee, but in addition to lowering the general quality of their products lately in general, they changed their EGC formula, specifically, and absolutely RUINED the flavor. I found yours online after trying several others with disappointing results and I am SO grateful. Smooth, slightly sweet, and you aren't messing with the flowers. Hooray for you for putting product quality above senseless innovation!

I love Earl Grey cream tea, and this one is absolutely delicious. I’m so happy I found this company, too. The price was very fair, and I loved the different shipping payment options. I’ll definitely be buying more in the future!

After several months of ordering various teas from NM Tea Co, it's finally time to write a few reviews. Cream Earl Grey is one of my top 3. The flavor is so delicious and the amount of Bergamot is spot on. This is my go-to morning breakfast tea.

This stuff is so good! I got the 16 ounce bag option and there are no regrets. Originally I received this as flavor a gift and it was so delicious I had to order more

Wonderful and aromatic tea! It's the perfect Earl Grey flavor with the added bonus of a creamy finish! My go-to caffeinated tea. Arrived a day early too.

Smooth and drinkable. I have been looking high and low for a creamy EG and NOW I have found the perfect cuppa. Added a splash of milk and the creaminess came through. Very good value for a very fine Ceylon.

My favorite tea is a Cream Earl Grey. Ive tried diffrent tea companies through the years and NM Tea is by far the best! I ordered on a Friday my order was sitting in mailbox Monday! I have found my permanent tea co.

This tea has become a staple in my home. It smells amazing, and goes down smooth. I highly recommend this tea to any Earl Grey lover!

Out of every tea I've tried this is my favorite! Cream and sugar and it's like a dessert! It's also hard to over steep, allowing you to leave it in longer and not ruin your tea. 10/10 would recommend everyone try.

I never had any Earl Grey teas until I visited my Sister-in-Law in Albuquerque. We went to her tea house and she served me this WONDERFUL TEA! Oh my gosh! Cream Earl Grey. . . . Where have you been all my life?!?!?! I do drink other teas, but this one is amazing, and very special! AND I ran out of it! ! ! I am ordering again and will never allow it to happen again!

I'm a very picky tea drinker when it comes to earl grey, I like my bergamot extremely strong. I orginally thought harney and sons earl grey imperial was good however this one kicks it out of the water. So flavorful but not overbearing with the bergamot and the creaminess adds excellent balance.

I enjoy preparing and tasting a variety of teas. At one point, I really didn't care for Earl Grey, and now Cream Earl Grey is my favorite. It's smooth and delicious as is; no additions required.

Several years ago I switched from drinking coffee to enjoying black teas in the morning. I have tried many different varieties and Cream Earl Grey is my absolute favorite choice. Compared to regular Earl Grey, Cream EG is much smoother, with less punch. It is an excellent morning tea.

We love, love, love this tea. We were introduced to the Cream Earl Grey by some friends who live in Albuquerque and now my 16 year old son makes sure we are never without it. A wonderful breakfast tea, and lovely as an afternoon tea with steamed milk. Highly recommended.
