After really liking the Cream Earl Grey that I got in a swap I found this lonely sachet in my stash. When i opened the bag I was pretty scared. It had a very strong bergamot smell that I associate with pepper. The smell however is much much stronger than the actual tea. I get a hint of bergamot and a nice balance with the black tea in the back. It is a nice cup a tea. Not my favorite, but very enjoyable.
I started drinking tea while on a 4 month long cycling trip through South America. It seemed to always be a great way to warm up when I was cold and it was always available everywhere. Mate was the big tea of choice down there and it was also a great way to get to know people. When I returned home, my sister introduced me to Teavana and this launched me into the realm of loose leaf tea.
