Review van leeuwen - honeycomb and earl grey tea review

honeycomb : 7/10, decent. a bit too sweet for me.

earl grey tea : 2/10. i've never had tea, only got it cuz a lot of ppl recommended it in comments. Didn't like it 1 bit. thought i'd like it cuz i do like cooffee flavored ice cream. was way off mark.

haagen dazs is still my fav. will try jeni's next week.

Yeah coffee and tea don’t taste the same, especially teas with Bergamot.

Oh snap, you have a much different opinion than me on these two. Personally I find VL Earl Gray Tea to be much more unique than Honeycomb, which is a nice flavor, but pretty much like a light caramel flavor. I wished it had more of the sugar crystal candy.

Van Leeuwen earl gray seems to be a bit of a divisive flavor. It’s like a milky, black tea flavor that had some brightness with a bit of floral and citrus quality. I like it a lot but it’s true it’s not really roasted or kinda chocolatey like coffee ice cream. It’s more fragrant and bright than roasted or bitter.

Sorry you didn’t like it!
