I’ve been looking for a good Earl Grey for the longest time.

This one, unfortunately, isn’t it. A fine basic Earl Grey but the citrus tones in this are… perfumey and cheap, a little overpowering. Wouldn’t repurchase.

Second infusion was very good. The bergamot influence was less than the first infusion but the taste of the tea was more forward.

This tea is a big disappointment considering its high ratings on steepster and elsewhere. I’ve been on a search for the perfect earl grey, and so far, I’ve tried maybe 20-30 different earl greys. This one is really mediocre. It tastes no better than a cheap earl grey from a tea bag, worse maybe. It has no body or depth, just a weak, perfumy bergamot. The flavor is very weak overall. Steep time adjustments and adding more tea do not seem to bring out any more black tea flavor from the tea.

Considering that I had the teabag version, the tea was very fine. It helps me survive while I’m waiting for the good stuff to be delivered, because to my horror I could not get any loose tea in Madison, WI… Actually I don’t think I’ve seen much of it anywhere since my arrival in the US over 2 months ago…

Simply, the most aromatic, fresh and perfect tasting Earl Grey tea I have ever come across. I bought this in bulk from a tiny shop in downtown Haworth, England (home to the Brontes). I am rationing it strictly for fear of running out. I have no idea where I can get more and I live across the sea and about 3000 miles away from where I bought this.
