Trying 1 tsp with 8oz boiling water steeped for 4 minutes. It’s amazing I have the alertness to even type this this morning. Getting up so early for work is always a struggle, seeing my shifts vary as I work in a restaurant. 3am always comes too soon!
This Earl Grey brews up a nice strong liquor of a deep brownish orange. It smells heavenly this morning, but any black tea might get that reaction! This is a sample I received from Ricky, and I am excited to compare it to other Earls I have tried. Just not this morning…need a few more cups first!
Greatly scented of bergamot, this tea made me more alert while steeping it, it has a decent flavor without any additives, but a bit of bitterness (maybe 4 minutes was a bit too long). I added a splash of cream and a pinch of sugar and this is much smoother and really quite nice. I can taste the bergamot and the black tea. I like this, but can’t describe much more than that right now. Thanks Ricky for this generous sample. I think this may be added to my list of Lupicia teas to purchase (the list is getting rather long however!).

Hmmm, didn’t even realize I sent you that. I’m getting forgetful.
@Ricky – I think ginkgo is good for alleviating forgetfulness (I forget now) … you must have some tea with it as an ingredient? :)
Ahhhh! Must be those vitamin supplements I take every day. Wait? What? Sorry, I forgot again.
hehehe!
Ricky-I’m glad you sent it, it is quite bergamot-y and enjoyable! Maybe I can find some Ginkgo tea to send you. What was it I was looking for?
