Governor Gray from Charleston Tea Plantation

Quoting a tasting note from JacquelineM directly:

“This is another one that I think people with “bergamot problems” would like. :)”

Bingo. I am often bergamot-avoidant (bergamotley challenged?), though I stand by my statement that all good tea drinkers need to have an Earl Grey variety in their repertoire. Had this pyramid sample from ashmanra handy at work, had my little liquid creamer pack at the ready to tone down the flavor, and surprise! I didn’t need it. This is good black tea foremost; bergamot hindmost. I’d drink more, and that’s saying something for an EG.

Winner of the 7th and 8th grade spelling bees, Lamar Junior High, circa … well, never mind.

Those who embrace the bergamot will like this one as well

LOL! I sent it to you and I haven’t even tried it yet! I must remedy that ASAP. I have liked all their tea, though!

Haven’t hit a bad one yet with Charleston Tea. I think I still haven’t tried their raspberry one; it’s in the stash of emergency bags I keep in my purse.

Bio

Somebody asked me once when I became a tea junkie; I think it dates back to college when I needed caffeine for a 7 a.m. class but chose not to do coffee. My favorite teapot is a medium-sized Brown Betty given to me by my Mema; the painted flowers are chipping off, but the size and feel is perfect. I rejoice when I get a morning to brew a pot of loose tea starting with a kettle; not a bag and a hot pot.
