Apres-Midi Blend from Edwards Premium Tea
92

This is a delightful tea. Though it has bergamot, I hesitate to call it an Earl Grey because the bergamot is so subtle; the rose and jasmine really shine through.

The tea itself is very smooth and light, mildly nutty on the front of the taste, with a slightly buttery secondary tone. A hint of bergamot peeks out in the middle notes, and it finishes strong with the rose and jasmine. The rose lingers the longest in the aftertaste. Though I typically feel that flowery flavors take away from the bergamot, this blend is perfectly balanced. I love it. I think this blend would be most appreciated by the connoisseur.
