Above and beyond
Everyone has tried Earl Grey. And yet this one is different. It’s made with an exceptional blend of rare, ethically-grown, high-altitude black teas. Pure oil of bergamot, a citrus fruit, gives it an aroma that’s headier than usual. And the cornflower petals add a subtly perfect fragrance. Discover the difference. You’ll never go back.
Ingredients: Black tea from Sri Lanka, cornflower petals, natural flavouring*.

This is harsh. It smells harsh and it tastes harsh. I am admittedly a DavidsTEA fanboy, but this tea is just so sharp, it’s comparable to drinking soap or perfume. I’ve read good things about their Cream of Earl Grey tea, so I think I’ll try to pick that up next time I’m in a David’s. Hopefully it will be better than this.
-If you don’t like bergamot, you will hate this blend!
Balance : Great, really shown the Bergamot taste.
Special characteristic : The bergamot make the difference.
Worth the taste : 4.50$ for 50g, YES!
Full taste :
From first to last, the bergamot taste which really make this blend memorable and, the black tea. Simply nice! :)
This tea REALLY taste like it smell.
Overall : A surprising blend that can carry the epicness of the classic Earl Grey and which can define it’s own unique taste too!
I first bought the cream of earl grey and LOVED it, so after I finished that one, I thought I’d just go for straight earl grey. And got myself 100g. Unfortunately, it doesn’t compare very well to the cream one, but nonetheless, it’s still pleasant with enough soy & stevia added.
But I agree with other reviewers that it is indeed strong, and the bergamot oil’s scents is overpowering and somewhat like a “punch.”
I still enjoy it though, can’t hate earl grey :)
