Thanks KittyLovesTea for this in a swap!
This tea smells of beautiful bergamot. The bergamot is super strong, and I love it. The tea is also very pretty with whole black leaves, mixed with bright blue flower petals.
The brewed tea smells very strong of bergamot as well, but there is another smell I cannot place. It is the black tea but I can’t tell what kind of black tea it is.
The taste is good. Not as strong bergamot as it smells. The black tea base is throwing me off a bit, I wish I knew what kind of black tea it was. It is still good though, just not a familiar taste. Cornflowers always adds a flavour of pastry/crust/bread to me. So there is a faint taste of sweet bread underneath the earl grey taste.
Delicious Earl Grey, definitely something different to mix it up a bit!

The website just says this Earl Grey is made from the highest-quality black China teas. Most EG I have tried use a Ceylon base.
My first thought was that it tasted kind of like a Darjeeling, but then I saw it said China black tea. To me it is not quite like a Ceylon tea, but it could be. It might just be the bergamot flavouring and cornflowers that is throwing the taste off for me.
