Quite astringent for an Earl Grey, but mellowed a bit with milk. Peppery and bright from the bergamot oil, which doesn’t get a lot of backup from the Ceylon tea – there’s no strong black tea feel to back up the bergamot. I like mine strong and hearty, but this one doesn’t quite get to that level (and I won’t risk oversteeping an Earl Grey).
This is You :-D

Designer, photographer, gardener, and rabid locavore. Tea? I’ll have mine with milk and sugar, please. :)
I adore the silly ostentation of ordering tea in a restaurant. Coffee? Yeah, you get a mug and a saucer of cream packets. Tea? Oh, let us break out the wooden tea box, and get you a tiny little platter with a teapot and a mug and all the accoutrements…
If you are into swapping tea, I’m always happy to ship a sample of my cupboard in exchange for new and interesting teas!
