I bought a tin of Harney and Sons Early Grey and Earl Grey Imperial on the same day, and I just finished the regular Earl Grey, having loved every cup. When I cracked the seal on this tin I wondered how much better it could possibly be than the regular Earl Grey. What I loved about the regular Earl Grey was its simplicity. They just take damn good tea leaves, add a hint of bergamot, and that’s it (and for the record, that’s all an Earl Grey should ever be). The Earl Grey Imperial has the same formula, but it’s even better. The quality of the tea leaves in this blend is amazing. Every flavor in the cup is perfectly balanced. No single flavor overpowers any other, which makes every sip an absolute delight. This is the best Earl Grey I’ve tasted yet, and I look forward to many more cups of this tea in the future.

Bio

I’m a recent ex-Mormon, which means that I only recently began drinking tea (oddly enough, tea is verboten in Mormon doctrine). I started drinking tea (Earl Grey, hot) because of Jean Luc Picard, but I keep drinking tea because it’s delicious. I am a supertaster, which means bitter teas (I’m looking at you, Darjeeling) are much more bitter to me than they are to the average human. I’ve enjoyed getting into tea thus far and I look forward to tasting a great many more teas in years to come.
