Pret’s take on the Earl’s gift to humanity is pretty solid. Off the bat it seems different than the rest of the chain cafe’s offerings. It’s in that 3d pyramid bag thing that is supposed to simulate loose tea to start. Inside that bag you notice some unusual colors. Instead of black you see various greens, off whites, and what looks like a muted orange. That orange-like color comes from the addition of rose petals. The sip is quite flavorful especially at the end where you tastes the floral notes of the rose. No real harsh black tea taste unless it seeps for too long. It almost has a hint of a green tea taste. This brew by Pret is definitely their own concoction which is a nice change to the generic greys at chains.
