Day 3 of the Tea Thoughts summer countdown box. I wasn’t particularly enamored of the last tea rod in a TT countdown box, so I went into this with low expectations. But actually it was quite enjoyable! Visually, it’s just fun because the leaves floof out and are entertaining to bob up and down in the water. Taste-wise, this might be one of my favorite earl greys. I’m not a huge fan of the genre because I don’t particularly like bergamot. But here the bergamot is present without being too strong or overwhelming. The base tea is hearty without being particularly tannic. A touch of honey complements the flavors here. Overall, this is a pretty smooth and pleasant drink that I got two steeps out of.
