So I’m smelling it while it cools, it smells lemon, definitively. Also, bergamot smells lightly too. Very pleasant smell, I could smell this for hours. There is also something else in smell, isn’t it orange? Yes, its orange. Interesting combination of lemon, bergamot and orange.

Taste is very pleasant too, I wouldn’t say Earl Grey, but this is something different. Good, this isn’t bitter. I don’t taste any Chinese tea in this, but this feels like it. Word I’m searching for is…

…Velvety! Very smooth, I like this, no bitterness at all.

Smells strongly of lemon with a hint of bergamot. Plain, it tastes quite good! The flavors are well balanced and I can still taste the black tea, which isn’t too bitter. It’s sort of a semi-Earl Grey with lemon, which is good for those of us that don’t really love Earl Grey (me!). Adding milk and sweetener brings out some fruityness. I would be open to purchasing a whole box of this, though it would take a while to get through it.
