Earl Grey with Bergamot from Peet's Coffee & Tea
24

This was a very disappointing Earl Grey. I can’t taste the bergamot at all, though I can taste something above the black tea. I’m not sure what it is, but I am fairly sure that I don’t like it. As per the tea itself: the Darjeeling is so-so. It is a bitter, bland, and overall bad tea. I am sad Peet’s.

Try it again with water that’s a couple of minutes OFF the boil (boil water, take kettle off hob, let sit for 2 min, then pour)… and an infusion of 4 minutes. See how that works for ya.
