This one prepared for me, so I can’t really put too much effort into how this one was prepared. As far as the taste… Not too bad, I expect that had it been a better ratio of water to leaves it would have been a bit stronger. Flavor wise it was impressed it still managed to convey the bergamot flavor while not overpowering the real tea flavor. Now I didn’t notice a huge difference between this one and the normal Earl Grey except a slight lightness that can sometimes be overlooked in a black tea, but overall a good cup. Fresh after taste with little left on the palate in the way of too much bergamot oil. So my hats off to the folk at teavana. Nothing overly amazing in the way of an Earl Grey but definitely not too shabby:)

Just a normal guy that gave up the normal daily coffee for a healthier, more flavorful, more intrinsically complex beverage. Being a US marine and deploying on the regular makes enjoying a decent cup of tea difficult at times but shows that even the “rough” guys can enjoy a great cup of tea.
Here are my rating categories, FYI:
100-90: Absolutely awesome! I don’t know why i’m spending time typing about them instead of drinking!
85-89: pretty damn delicious, and will keep most of them in the permanent collection, but they’re not quite as spectacular as the cream of the crop.
84-80: Tasty teas that I enjoy and would drink again when i can find it, but more than likely will not make a second appearance except for freebies and samples.
79-70: Teas that I would probably drink again, but wouldn’t seek out. They don’t quite do it for me in one aspect or another; often just not quite my style
69-50: Teas that I don’t really enjoy all that much and wouldn’t drink another cup of.
49 and below: The unfortunate bottom category. This tea is just disgusting to me.
