Uhhh…. This tastes like flowery soap. I could smell the bergamot while it was steeping, but when I took the first sip…. Floral overload. This is just barely more tolerable than that horrid bergamot-soaked slime that Tazo is passing off as an Earl Grey.
No thanks… I’ll stick to my Twinings and Gloria Jean’s.
Favorite tea types: Black, pu’erh, oolong, kombucha, genmaicha, floral greens, matcha, yaupon, mate, rooibos, and honeybush.
Favorite flavor notes: Roasted, fermented, earthy, floral, nutty, bread-y, umami; dessert-inspired flavors like chocolate, vanilla, and maple.
Picky about, but not opposed to: chai, spice/ spicy, fruit flavors, and herbal tisanes.
Flat-out dislike: White tea, most unflavored green teas, hibiscus, plain peppermint.
90-100: Perfection and heaven and magic, all in one cup.
