Okay, so I was bad on Saturday and grabbed a tin of this as well while I was at Green Acres. :)
The scent about knocks you out when you open the first lid on the tin. Talk about strong bergamot! And it doesn’t let up after steeping. If you like your bergamot in your face, this is the blend for you. It’s not harsh, but easily might become so if oversteeped. I hope this tin wasn’t an over bergamotted bunch because if this is consistently representative of the Grey-Line, it could well become a staple Earl in my cupboard.

Come back! We miss you! Lol
:) I’m still drinking teas, just not new ones. :) Plus, been on little vacation.
soooooo you need new teas to get you back? I can bombard you…don’t think i won’t haha. Glad you had a vacation! :)
LOL… Oh, I came back with teas. :)
It is entirely possible that you purchased some Grey-Line within a few days of it being hand-packed. Bergamot oil, like all citrus essential oils, degrade (lose their flavor) faster than other types of flavorings.
We do all of our work in micro-batches so that the flavorings are fresh and lively on the shelf. Over time, the bergamot flavor will mellow.
It’s a pleasure to hear that you are enjoying it :-)
