[Just for fun] Describe the smell of....

Post by Chris Corbyn »

Earl Grey tea.

My colleagues seemed to think it was odd I could give such a specific description for the aroma of a tea and I'm curious if anyone gives the same description as me.

Hint: Two different food products often used as condiments.

All I know is that it smells funny. Never trusted funny smelling objects.

I like it more than just plain black tea, but I didn't know what was special about it (I just wikied it)

Obligatory reference: "Keep your forty I'll just have an Earl Gray Tea"

It's sort of a dry, musty, deep, floral goodness. With a hint of wicked.

Anyone that can name the smell of anything named Earl has issues.

I'll stick with coding thanks.

I've only had it in ice-cream. It smells like, well, tea.
