This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars

My daughter loves this tea and I have been buying it for her for several years. She has tasted many, many Earl Grey teas and she said this one is the best by far. In fact, she refuses to drink any other Earl Grey tea. This is her go to when she wants a tea with caffeine.

The Estate Blend of tea arrived on Sept. 28 & was my first to try. It was soothing and pleasant to my tastes. It made me think of a slower and a bit more of a pleasant time. I am very happy that I took the chance to purchase this as well as the other 2 teas I ordered.

This was a surprise when I first made it and now it's my choice for Earl Grey! I've been a user of other Earl Grey's for years but this has something extra - maybe it's the orange flavor? It makes a delicious iced tea as well.

Fantasmical tea!!
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars

As soon as I opened the box I could smell that this tea was next level! I ordered 3 cans, this Bridgerton with Vanilla and Lavender, the Downton Abney with vanilla and Grandmama sitting in the garden. And I ordered the hicaf with coconut! All 3 are exceptional!! When you open each can the flavor is strong and it smells like quality product. I've drank tea all my life, I don't drink coffee or soda. And this tea is fabulous! The hicaf, is definitely THAT, highly caffeinated, but I didn't get the hitters or feel awkward. The black teas are also pretty caffeinated, which o was grateful for!! My order got stuck on mainland with FedEx and I called Republic and they were amazingly nice, they looked into it and didn't hesitate to offer to send me my order again with 2 day shipping, which to Hawaii cost a pretty penny. Their customer service is as quality as their tea!!

Dowager Countess (and Vera Bates...) Approved!!!!
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars

Any tea that has earned the seal of approval from the redoubtable Dowager Countess of Grantham—aka, Lady Violet Crawley—as well as that of the downtrodden demon of Downton, Vera Bates, must indeed be something special! Dedicated viewers of the beloved series will recall the first Mrs. Bates' most unexpected—and unwelcome—arrival at the Abbey that saw her being served tea at Mrs. Hughes' behest. Despite Vera's decidedly difficult and nasty nature, the Lord's estate blend put a smile on her snarling lips as she relished in the luxurious taste experience accorded by that superior sipper. (Could this be the very tea to which she purred her gracious compliments?) Featuring the historical and exquisite Earl Grey as a base with a moreish mix of traditional bergamot-orange oil and sweet, smooth, satisfying vanilla to enhance its famous flavor, this bold and beautiful brew elevates teatime to an event which one need not be born-to-the-manor to enjoy! With its warm, inviting aroma and rich, creamy flavor, R of T's Downtown Abbey Estate Blend makes everyone feel like an aristocrat! (Even evil Vera!!!!)

I have and enjoy most if he other Downton Abbey teas, but this tea is a newer experience. It reminds me of "Earl Greyer vanilla," but there is something slighter different in the flavor mix.

Surprisingly Disappointing
This shopper rated the product 1 out of 5 stars

Earl Grey has always been one of my favorite teas (and particularly the Earl Greyer from TRoT), so when I came across this one I was ecstatic. Not only is if from a company whose Earl Grey is one of the best, but It has the LEGENDARY Dame Maggie Smith on it. I had to have it! I was however disappointed when I made myself my first cup as it tasted surprisingly soapy. As this had never happened before with a tea I chalked it up to a bad dish washing job and decided to try again with a new cup, only to find that that cup as well tasted soapy. After this I decided to have some of my friends try it just to make sure it wasn't just me, and they agreed it tasted strange. I'm not sure if this was just a bad batch or if its how the tea is supposed to taste, but I think I'll just stick to the regular Earl Greyer.

Earl Grey is my favorite tea flavor. I was not sure if I would like vanilla with Earl Grey, but what a treat! It has the best citrusy vanilla aroma.

Way too much vanilla...
This shopper rated the product 1 out of 5 stars

I ordered this tea aling with three other blends in the Downton Abbey series. I love Earl Grey tea and was expecting Republic of Tea to create a winning blend of this well-known favorite. Unfortunately, that was not my experience. The vanilla is extremely overpowering and I tasted no hint of oil of bergamot. I tried very hard to find this version of Earl Grey acceptable to drink but could not. It is the very first RoT blend I've ever not thoroughly loved!! Bummer...

My favorite tea of all time!
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars

I first purchased the Estate Blend when I saw it announced in the mail in catalogue. It has become a daily staple since then! (I recommend and buy it for everyone!) I love the fragrance and taste, and it has such a lovely aftertaste with just a hint of vanilla. I lost my sense of smell with Covid, and everything tastes but odd since, BUT NOT THIS TEA! I hope that the Republic of Tea will carry and offer it for years to come. My only complaint, that it doesn't come in a giant bag. (Though I do up-cycle the tins.) Fun fact, I received the email to review this tea as I was drinking it, so I felt inspired to write how much I LOVE it. 10/10 would recommend.

Heavenly
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars

It smelled awesome when I opened the container. I bought it because I had purchased one of the other Downton Abbey teas by The Republic of Tea, The Bates Tea and fell in Love. From the first sip to the last it made me happy. The only thing I don't like is that most of the teas are a "limited item". I want to be able to enjoy this tea whenever I would like. .

I tried this on a whim because I love DA and wanted to pretend I was having tea with the Crawley's. So silly but fun when you get out your fancy tea set and crumpets with your 8 year old daughter. I am hooked on this and just bought more and sent a can to my friend. Please keep making this one! Cheers.

So nice for Downton Abbey fans!
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars

I ordered several varieties of these limited edition teas to celebrate the Downton Abbey movie and as Christmas gifts for some of my friends who love Downton Abbey - a tin or two of tea with a beautiful teacup or teapot! I have the Estate Blend teabags (Earl Grey with vanilla), which is delicious, as I would expect from the Republic of Tea. My only disappointment is the tin itself - the Downton Abbey artwork is quite small and unimpressive. I thought the tin would be a pretty keepsake after the tea is gone - but they're just not as nice as other tins I've purchased as "souvenirs." Still - as a limited edition - they're a special treat.

This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars

I've been trying all of the Downton Abbey teas, and honestly have loved them., BUT this one is my FAVORITE so far!! First, the smell out of the tin is so comforting! The smell and flavor once brewed is TO DIE FOR! Subtle sweetness, perfect Earl Gray and Vanilla flavors. Add a splash of milk or cream and it's even better!! I'm ordering several tins of this for fear it will be discontinued!!!

Wonderful earl grey
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars

I was trying some other DA teas and thought I would try this as well. I like earl grey teas but they can be too perfumey and overpoweringly floral (or something?) for me. This is one of the best I have had. The vanilla softens the earl grey I guess. I like it with a splash of milk.

Mellow
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars

I am an avid drinker of earl grey and my favorite is earl grey with orange bergamot. This Downton Abbey estate blend introduced me to earl grey with vanilla which is delicious. The vanilla mellows the bold black tea and makes for a very pleasant drinking experience. I loved the show and when I saw that the tea was an earl grey it made for a fun option with a nod to the show. I'm so glad I gave it a try. It has also become the gateway to me purchasing republic of tea through the website. I've already ordered a second tin of this tea to keep at work. I expect to expand my republic of tea options soon as the rewards program fills up fast and that makes the tea far more economical when I'm getting a free tin every few purchases.

This tea just gets better
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars

I've already written a 17-thumbs up review of this particular blend, but I'm happy to convince all readers to try this marvelous flavor combination. I ordered more because I noticed the supply was running dangerously low and knew I wasn't drinking it (I do have other favorites). So I spoke to my daughter-in-law who, along with my son, recently moved in. SHE: It's the best tea EVER ME: I agree. We're running out. SHE: Noooo! Order ALL of it. I'll pay half. If we run out, I'm locking myself in the washing machine because mornings will be filled with despair and doom. So I ordered more, because we need the washing machine! Also, because I don't want the Minister in Charge of Tea Blends to stop manufacturing this masterly combo of Earl Grey and vanilla.

Good Earl Grey - Nothing extraordinary.
This shopper rated the product 4 out of 5 stars

I must confess, I initially ordered this tea simply because it had Dame Maggie Smith on the tin. I am a very big fan. The tea itself is a good earl grey, nothing extraordinary, but the orange does come through nicely. I'm a big fan of milk and sugar, and the splash of milk takes away any bitterness. This is a good basic early grey for your breakfast/caffeine needs.

When my daughter bought season 6 on DVD, PBS included a sampler of the Downton tea collections. I've been buying it regularly since. It smells heavenly, without being overpowering. It tastes even better. It's the ideal blend of quality black tea and bergamot and vanilla. It's a nice pick-me-up in the afternoon.

This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars

A smooth and delicious blend of two favourite flavours. Wonderful with milk and sugar. Tasty as an every day drink, but more than refined enough to be worthy of the Downton name. It is kind of odd that of the teas I've purchased, this is the one I've been prompted to review, as it is a limited edition. I hope they add this or something like it to the permanent roster. Earl Grey Creme is one of my favourite tea flavours, but every time I find one I like it either becomes unavailable or the recipe is changed. I hope Republic of Tea helps me out with this problem!

Pleasant Surprise
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars

I bought this to complete my Downton Abbey collection, but since I am not an Earl Grey fan, I didn't think I'd really like it. But I do! For me, Earl Grey usually has a strange after taste, but this tea doesn't have that. It has the flavor, but milder. I am pleasantly surprised that I liked it. I drink it as cold brewed iced tea. Maybe that adds to the mildness. I will actually drink it, not just enjoy the can on my shelf.

This is my current favorite tea. I like to brew a pot in the morning and add milk. In the morning I drink it hot, then refrigerate the rest of the pot and have it cold in the afternoon. To me there combination of bergamont and vanilla is perfectly matched in this black tea. My only complaint is that it seams that Cost Plus has already run out and you cannot find it online either. Please consider adding this to your regular tea line.

This is the only version of Earl Grey I like. I wish it was available on this website. World Market is not someplace I get to often. The tea has a fabulous flavor to it. I compared the description of it to other Earl Grey teas. I assume the vanilla in it is what makes me like this despite having not liked earl grey teas in the past. It quickly became one of my favorites up until I realized I could not order refills. UGH. I am still rating it 5 stars and not lower because the reviews are meant to be for the tea itself not complaints over exclusive selling rights given to another store.
