This is not a particularly strong earl, & that’s ok by me. Because it is most likely a ceylon, & the bergamot scent wasn’t too strong, I added extra leaf. Then I added stevia & french vanilla coconut creamer. It was a pleasant cup, which I enjoyed. For awhile I didn’t care much for Earl Greys, & some of them are awful, IMO, but I’ve been trying several, & finding that some are very pleasant. This will not be a favorite, but not bad.

I was worried that I’d gotten the wrong tea as I was steeping this — it doesn’t smell a bit like earl grey! Tasting it, I feel much the same way. The base is nice enough (Ceylon, I believe) but the bergamot is only there if you really search for it. Honestly, I don’t mind it that much as I’m not a huge earl grey fan and only picked this up due to the low price, but I wouldn’t really recommend this when you could pick up something more flavorful.

A good general Earl Grey. Bergamot not too strong. Tea is pleasant, not particularly bitter. Has a nice aroma. More than anything else I love the amazing price tag on this guy. When I’m broke I’ll buy bulk where I can, and this definitely gives me my fix when on a budget. Great morning tea.

There are better choices for Earl Grey. Neither my wife or I were impressed.

A bit mild for my liking but still very good. I just use more than the suggested amount per cup.

I bought this tea at my local health foods store. Its an Earl Grey with moderate amounts of bergamot. It has a light taste and is not heavy at all. Its not for those who like a heavy bergamot taste. Very easy to drink with no milk or sugar. This tea gets better every time I drink it.

A very nice Earl Grey and only 84 cents an ounce at my local health food store. Very clean tasting with nice amount of bergamot. I could drink this every day at this price and its very good.
