OK now I am slightly up to date. I busted out my teapot late yesterday afternoon and found a sample packet of this. I just dumped it in and figured if I steep it a bit longer, maybe it’ll all work out, which it did.
I didn’t read the packet fully though, so when I went to look up the tea I was shocked that it had bergamot. I could taste the citrus, but it was just so seamlessly integrated in the flavor of the tea that I thought it was just a note of the tea. (Though I should also full well remember that LB = brownies.)
You see ‘bergamot rose’ and you might expect like lots of soapiness. There is none. There’s the flavors but there’s still the black tea front and center. There’s rose and citrus, but they are not overpowering. It’s a perfect mix.
I also ended up walking to the grocery store while I still had a decent amount of tea left. This was even good cold! Bummer it’s not available right now but maybe it will be again because one day I would like more.
