Backlogging. Needed a bagged Earl Grey, disliked most that were at the store and figure I’d give it a shot, being fair-trade minded.
Surprisingly decent. Granted it was my first cup of the day and I don’t remember much more than what I was studying.
I’ll get back to this with a more through dissection.

Had some at lunch and caught up with a friend. Totally over steeped it, but it was still better than the schools offering.

After drinking this in comparison with Twinings and Stash, I would definitely pick this one any day. Its smoother and more balanced than Twinings or Stash. This was the right amount of bergamot for me, and the citrus component didn’t dominate (looking at you Stash).
Also Twinings tasted like crap. I wasn’t surprised. I don’t think I’ll even log it.
