I got a sample of this from Cameron B.! Thank you!
While I’m happy to get to try another one of Kusmi’s Earl Greys, I had been avoiding this one because of the name. It reminds me of a boy I should have been kinder to in high school. I’m sorry, Marcus! I was a monster back then!
Anyway, this one doesn’t really stand out to me. It’s basically just a mild EG with a bit of orange essence. The orange is almost muted by the bergamot, too. I feel like I’ve had this before. It’s really similar to Mélange Hédiard, if you’ve had it. I dunno, I’m just not really feeling this one.
Flavors: Bergamot, Citrus, Citrus Fruits, Fruity, Orange, Orange Zest
Preparation
205 °F / 96 °C
3 min, 30 sec
4 tsp
24 OZ / 709 ML
I recently tried this and was excited to do so but like you, it fell flat for me. Nothing really stood out and was a bit astringent. I’m going to have to treat it like a Marcus haha.
