From Steepster

This full leaf Ceylon black tea was sourced from a single estate and hand blended with pure bergamot oil from Calabria, Italy. We love how the refined body of the black tea mingles perfectly with the intoxicating lemony aroma of bergamot; an affordable everyday luxury.

Something really strange is happening to me. I spent the weekend with a group of girlfriends from high school up at a house in Hood River. After much drinking and catching up till wee hours in the night, we went to breakfast and I needed caffeine badly. The only black tea they had was an Earl Grey. I seriously despise all things earl grey. But I was desperate so I had it. It was the Steve Smith one. It was delicious. I thought it must have been due to my desperation for tea and caffeine.

Then this morning I was desperate again after the puppy and toddler took turns waking me up all night and I had no time to make any tea before hitting the road. I went through a drive through coffee stand and they only had Paris by H&S. I had never tried that before due to the Bergamot, but again, desperation won out. It was SUPER delicious. Could I blame my enjoyment on desperation again?

Nope, when that cup was empty, I wanted more. And not just more tea, I wanted more bergamot. So I made this one. And it’s delicious. What the hell? My WHOLE life I’ve absolutely cringed at the thought of bergamot and suddenly I can’t get enough.

What’s wrong with me? Do tastes really shift soooooo rapidly? The only time that’s happened before was during pregnancy, and I know I’m not pregnant.

My tea world has been turned upside down!

It happens! Sometimes we become plagued by an idea which prevents us from pursuing a type of tea. In my case, I was sure that I was unable to drink jasmine tea, all because of a negative experience years ago (probably of a mediocre variety). It turns out that today I love jasmine-scented teas to the point of being obsessed!

Lol, that’s because Bergamot is delicious….it ends up winning people over even when they don’t want to :-)

I do love Earl Grey in pretty much any form but this was heavenly! I love the intensity of the Bergamot.

So I’m not a good instructions-follower & just dumped the entire packet into the filter and filled my mug up to the top. I also tend to lose track of how long it’s been steeping. The first steep was good, a really bold flavor (probably my fault from steeping too much). The 2nd steeping is fantastic — it has a lighter flavor, and you can taste the citrus much more. Love it.
