Double Bergamot Earl Grey

Among one of my favourite black teas. Every morning, before it gets too hot to venture outside, I walk four miles to the nearest well and gather just enough for my morning brew. Steeped in freshly boiled water straight from the fire.

So i’ve been out of practice. But the good news is i have a ton of teas i need to add tastings for. So i will get this out of the way since its the most recent that i tried during the holidays at my parents house.

What a strong aroma from this tea, but i guess with double bergamot this should be expected. i added a bit of milk to this one to cut down on the strong flavor (which is a rarity for me) but after that it was very enjoyable. I generally like lighter earl greys so if you like it strong this one is definitely for you.

The Tea that got me drinking tea! I’m now more of a Bigelow earl grey fan, but this one still has the most wonderful smell. Don’t let it steep too long or the flavor is super strong. Don’t forget about it either, because it’s a strong tea to have while cold (or luke-warm).

Very strong bergamot… evened out by the half & half but still not a balance of flavors for an earl grey that I prefer.

I think I might have developed a small tolerance to bergamot because most times normal earl greys don’t quiet satisfy my tea hunger anymore. I think someday I might just be drinking bergamot straight from the bottle. Stash really does an excellent job with this tea. It’s quality I would have expected from Twinings (normally I don’t care for Stash tea).
I don’t know how I would have graduated high school without this tea. It was my morning fuel (besides breakfast). It was my cure-all for any sickness I might have had and my favorite tea in health.
If I had to marry a tea it would be this tea.

This is an amazingly good tea … I tend to buy it loose leaf rather than prebagged. I love living near the Stash store!

Delicious delicious delicious. How can I express how amazing this tea is? The double bergamot oil takes this from a regular earl grey to one of my favorite teas of all time. It’s a great after-dinner tea.

One of my favorite teas. So delicious!

A solid Earl Grey for when I’m in an Earl Grey mood (which isn’t always.) I like the extra bergamot because I like my teas strong and distinct from each other.

It smells absolutely fantastic, but by and large it’s just another Earl Grey. The flavour isn’t much different than Stash’s standard Earl Grey, but when when you brew it there’s the added benefit of making your immediate surroundings smell wonderful.

Delicious! Heavy on the bergamot as one would expect, but very well balanced with the taste of the tea itself.

Was hoping this tea would help me get more into Earl Grey (and flavoured teas in general, for that matter) – Twinings’ blend just wasn’t doing it for me – and the experience was a success.

Now I definitely know what bergamot tastes like and why it goes well with tea, but at the same time the “premium black teas” still shone through and the quality was there even on the second steeping.

I really liked the extra oomph from the bergamont – delicious

The quality of the bergamot in this cup is what I call juicy. The flavor is lingering. It makes you say “What a fine day.” If you really want to taste the bergamot, try this. The base is bold and sweet, I drink it neat. I give Chad a cup of this when he’s trying to study.

Very good! The tea is very rich and deep, with a very present bergamot flavor. However, where some bergamot teas are very perfumy and overpowering, this tea is very smooth.

1tsp sugar, half a capful of 2% milk per 8oz.

My favourite Earl Grey, and I really like my earl grey. Not as overpowering or sharp as ‘traditional’ brands, but still a full flavour, and thats why I love it.

Finally found this in a local store. Very good, probably will lower steep time by a minute next time.

One of my favorite teas.

I use this to make iced tea in the summer.

This is my everyday tea. I’ve sampled Early Grey from many different suppliers over the years but was never quite satisfied with the usual proportions of bergamot. Stash’s Double Bergamot Earl Grey has it just about perfect for my tastes. In fact, I love the tea so much, I keep the paper envelopes around for a little “aromatherapy” even and especially when I’m not drinking tea. Yum!
