I love all things earl grey, and really all things bergamot in general. This tea has a lot of great qualities, and extra points for being caffeine-free so that I can enjoy it in the evening.
Visually, this tea is gorgeous. The little specs of blue cornflowers are delightful to look at. I did notice that it’s about time I invested in a better quality infuser, as my current ones allow a good portion of the finely ground loose leaf tea to simply fall into the water. If anyone has any recommendations, drop them in the comments.
The taste is great! Plenty of bergamot, but the rooibos profile is definitely not to be dismissed. I agree with some of the other descriptions that were listed: wet wood, root beer, anise (as an aside, I noticed that “wet dog” is one of the flavors in our database…I hope I never have to use it in one of these reviews). These are all great descriptors that work well with this tea. There is some orange/citrus as well that’s quite lovely.
I don’t often comment on the mouthfeel of teas, but I will say that this one felt particularly silky.
I enjoyed everything about this tea thoroughly and look forward to drinking it again.

Bee pollen sometimes tastes like wet dog to me, ha ha!
Fillable paper tea bags worked the best to me when it comes to the rooibos.
The infusers in my Curve and Stump teapots are very, very fine and they do sell them with mugs and possibly by themselves as well.
