Same series as Blossom Earl Grey. So apparently – 7 years old limited edition tea.
Same steeping parameters, 4 minutes, 300 ml boiling water into cold cup.
Brews bit darker than previous one, with strong rose aroma – but it’s not artificial or soapy. It filled my room pretty well and quickly. But in brew? Yeah, it’s there – quite well present! And same, not (much) soapy, not artificial. Hmm, taking more and more sips and I feel like it is soapy. Weird. The tea base is stronger somehow, on the sweet and malty side.
Not my everyday drinking tea – well, it was limited after all, but… it wasn’t so bad as I was afraid of.
Flavors: Malt, Rose, Soap, Sweet

I miss Blossom Earl Grey! There was someone on here named Keychange who wanted some and we tried to find it again, even send my son-in-law hunting for it in Ireland. Why oh why did it have to be discontinued?
It was very good tea, even it was “so old”. Yes, this one somehow continues (although I am not sure if same tea), and Blossom Earl Grey, which was maybe bit better (and would be better as new) – was discontinued. Maybe British people want their Earl Grey with bergamot only :D
