Naturally, it’s never really too hot for tea in Monterey County or elsewhere; just have what you are usually having on ice, and the tea in the summer problem is solved. A taste of nicely brewed black tea with brown sugar or honey is far superior to that of any store-bought ice tea. Revival Ice Cream in downtown Monterey takes this experience to yet another level. Earl Grey is one of their rotating flavors, not unlike apparatuses and spinning acts at circus arts. Earl Grey is all about infusing black tea with bergamot orange oil. Here, vanilla ice cream is infused with both, equipping the usual ice cream sweetness with some sobering bitterness, while still playing up the bergamot aroma. It’s not the only flavor at Revival that has hardcore fans. Their Bee’s Knees ice cream is the signature flavor.
