England was not built in a day… probably because they were constantly stopping to drink this tea. Strong bergamont notes on high altitude Nilgiri tea.
Earl Grey, they say, was invented by a Chinese nobleman, who gifted the recipe to a British diplomat, who gifted the tea to Charles, the Earl of Grey (1764-1845). All we know is this organic version has saved many a morning over here. Sultry. Citrusy. Perfection. Grown and produced without chemicals.

Very, very standard Earl Grey and not much to write about here. Heavy on the bergamot for my tastes, but probably normal for most – the cup has body and a decent amount of tannin to it, indicating to me this would be great with milk and/or sugar. The finish is a little metallic/brassy, but not enough to bother.
Thankfully not skunky, unlike that truly gnarly Grapefruit Earl Grey (it might have been called something else – it’s been a while since I had it) that I tried a while back from T Kettle…
Ros, any idea what the base tea might have been? Your “malty” note suggests it may have been assamic, but the tannin note contraindicates that. Maybe a blend of assan/ceylon?
Ooohhh, you said metallic, not malty! So not assam…
According to T Kettle it’s a Nilgiri black, which makes sense to me.
