Yes Terry, Earl Grey can be perceived as zesty, even perfume. It's a personal taste and a love it or hate it, like marmite. But it is refreshing on a hot day.
It needs to be sipped pointing the little finger at 2 O'clock. :D

Fishman, lol,
You obviously visited my teashop :D
Yes Pulisa, definitely loose tea otherwise you don't get the true taste. There's an art in making tea and even a teapot can change the taste.
See now I want to get back into it, lol. :D
I like the Stump tea pots with the built in infuser.
I've got a green and and orange one!

I like the look of them Pulisa :yesyes:
Not sure if you've been to the Lake District Carnation, but they do lovely 'cream teas' there. Tea served with lots of cream cakes/scones/jam etc. All very civilised.
Talking of loose tea, I remember when it was the only tea. Then my friend who lived next door was telling me about tea bags. We resisted tea bags for quite some time, using a strainer and of course poured from a teapot.
