Dry leaf…WHOLEY BERGAMOT! It kind of smells like Orange Glo!

After infusion – gladly – I can smell more of the black tea.

The taste is very, very strong and bold. Bergamot, floral, and a little black tea. I don’t know if it’s ‘superior’ but it’s different and gets the job done for a morning cup! I would probably drink again.

Had a cup this morning – I’m really REALLY getting low on my black and black flavored teas so much so that I am forcing myself with teas like this…sigh…

Done with this from my stash…doubt I would ever (re)order but I am glad I got to try it…

I still don’t think it’s superior but it is ok and gets the job done in the morning!

This is much stronger than I remember it…but just what I seem to need this morning…

In my opinion this Earl Grey should cost twice what it costs at Apollotea. This is a very top end Earl Grey with srong, rich aroma and wonderful taste.

This earl grey is not like any I’ve had before, though in fairness I have not had other premium brand earl greys. It’s an experience for all your senses, it has a bold citrus aroma you’ll meet as soon as you open the tin yet the tea brews a perfectly mellow cup. This has instantly become my favorite tea. It’s great for relaxing after a long day, though I suspect I will have it far more often.

Very interesting Earl Grey. The blue flowers add a lot of good flavour

Delicious! I’ve tried harney and son’s which was also very good, but I can’t taste a thing about this tea I don’t like. It has a great taste and smell

This is my most requested tea, the strong bigmont balances the rich but sharp black tea that is the backbone of this blend. This is likely to become my staple go-to tea

BIG Earl Grey fan from way back. This one is more ‘Earl Grey-ey’ than any I’ve ever had before. I really like this tea, and will continue to order for a long time to come

Definitely one of the better early greys I’ve tried. Even though it tastes great, I think that by far my favorite thing is just smelling a fresh batch. Amazing

I very much enjoy the Superior Earl Grey from Apollo Tea. It is strong in flavor with well bodied black tea, which is my preference. Also, the aroma upon opening the container is pleasant every time

A well balanced and smooth tea with a great bergamot taste.

This is a high-end Earl Grey at a very low price. It is the perfect wake-up tea with its hearty flavor and beautiful color. Watch the brew time as this tea can get bitter if brewed too long

The taste and a smell are absolutely beautifull. There is not a single thing wrong about this Earl Grey

I agree with those “many”. This is the best Earl Grey I have ever tasted.
