I’ve sampled this tea twice, but I’m not sure what to make of it… It’s supposed to be an Earl Grey with a base of black and green teas, plus a hint of vanilla. I can definitely smell some bergamot in the dry leaf, but not much vanilla, maybe a slight hint of something creamy.
Once it’s steeped, though, I only taste the base (which seems to be more green than black). There’s maybe a little bergamot here, but it’s very subtle, compared to the flavor of most Earl Greys I’ve tried. It’s a nice blend, as far as the base teas go, so I’ll drink the rest of my sample. Maybe I’ll try using more leaf, and see if I can taste more bergamot and vanilla in future cups.
