To honor the re-opening of The British Art galleries at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, we created custom blends. This blend stands above the rest, as a mixture of black and green tea with bergamot oil. Each cup is a tribute to England’s initial fascination with tea, which would be the start of flavors and renditions to come.
Since 1983 Harney & Sons has been the source for fine teas. We travel the globe to find the best teas and accept only the exceptional. We put our years of experience to work to bring you the best Single-Estate teas, and blends beyond compare.
Usually with these blends I can’t really tell much about the individual teas that are in them. but for this one, I could.
First sip and my immediate response was, OMG that’s foul!
Second sip and I kept thinking about lawn mower clippings and over boiled greens of an unidentified type.
Isn’t this supposed to basically be an earl gray? Isn’t there supposed to be bergamot in it?
And then I looked at the ingredients. That’s right, this is a black/green blend which might explain some of the flavors I’m getting. But its completely overriding the bergamot almost completely and I didn’t realize that was possible.
Even as it cools. I sip and I think maybe there might be some bergamot there and then BOOM!!!! BOILED GRASS IN YOUR FACE!
And I thought bergamot could overpower just about anything. :)
