Wow, I was definitely shocked by this one. For context, I have not tried a lot from Kusmi, mainly just samples and from tea swaps. It’s not usually a company I would seek out when going to make a new order but I think it will be now.
I ended up picking up a tin of this from IGA when I was in Montreal as well as a teabag sampler of Anastasia. I wasn’t expecting much because one of my friends that tried it said and I quote: “It’s just a bougie Earl Grey”…. UM NO! I don’t think it is. Yes, there is bergamot. Yes, it maybe could be considered an Earl Grey. However, the berry and caramel notes make it almost taste like the old travel sweets my Nonna used to carry around in a tin. It feels very nostalgic and comforting to me. I did get a 100g tin of this… but I might have to get more soon.
Flavors: Airy, Bergamot, Berry, Brisk, Candy, Caramel, Citrus, Floral, Honey, Light, Tea

This used to be my favorite, but sadly I don’t like the reformulation. But I would say it’s similar to Paris, which isn’t really an Earl Grey either.
Kusmi is so nostalgic for me, it was one of the first tea companies I remember trying when I joined Steepster!
