I love earl grey, so I obviously had to try this one. It’s much milder than I thought it would be. In my first mug of this, I tasted some light creaminess on top of the black tea, but not much citrus. The bergamot is mild, but not bad. This tea would probably be best without milk added, but I basically always drink my black teas with milk, so I don’t know if I’d love that. I’m trying this again with a longer steep, and this time it’s less creamy, but I can tell the black tea didn’t enjoy the extra time. I think I do get some lemon now, but I preferred the shorter, creamier steep. The lemon flavor is really sticking around even a few minutes after drinking this, but it’s a sharper lemon than I’d prefer.

Bio
I’m an event planner who always has multiple mugs of tea beside me. Hobbies other than tea include board games, video games, cooking international dishes, science fiction, hiking, jigsaw puzzles, tap dancing, reading, listening to podcasts, and playing with my troublesome kitties.
Favorite flavors: dessert flavors, nutty, melon, mint, strawberry, anything rooibos-related.
Don’t prefer: Smoky, rosemary, savory flavors, floral (other than lavender), plain tea.
I always drink flavored tea, and preferably caffeine-free or black. I’ll try just about anything though! Let me know if you’re interested in a swap!
My ratings are kind of meaningless, but basically
90-100 pretty perfect
80-89 really good
70-79 good, but not the best
60-69 okay, but probably not for me
1-59 varying degrees of dislike
