Word to the wise, if you don’t like Bergamot do not buy this. With that aside this is a very bergamot heavy tea. The only earl grey I drank before this was the industrial Higgins Burke earl grey, which was very light on the bergamot. Smelling this tea dry, it reminds me of froot loops and soap. On the first infusion the bergamot hits you like a train. If this isn’t for you try doing a 30 sec rinse of the leaves to get rid of most the bergamot oil. The second infusion was better, tasting more of the mushroomy, and earthy black tea and just a subtle hint of bergamot. Would definitely buy this again, but would always go a 30 sec rinse.
