I´m a big fan of Earl Grey type of teas, but on the other end are the red berry infusions I normally cannot appreciate at all (if you can enjoy them so much fresh, it´s always a huge disappointment to have them in infusion, according to me). St-Petersburg basically being a mix of both, plus an extra caramel (cf. Marco Polo tea, as it´s being named in France), it´s of course too little bergamot and too much berry for me, but I seem to find the caramel here more annoying, to be honest. OK for an afternoon tea (with a sweet snack) though.

Flavors: Bergamot, Caramel, Red Fruits

Preparation
195 °F / 90 °C 2 min, 45 sec 1 tsp 12 OZ / 350 ML

Bio

Introduced to tea by my sister-in-law in my country of birth = Belgium more than 30 years ago, I still love tea, mainly black, which I enjoy without sugar or milk. Having lived in UK, near good tea shops (e.g. Betty´s all over Yorkshire), I tend to buy most of my tea in bulk from tea shops (as such, most of these are not represented in my on-line cupboard). Nowadays, I live in Spain where tea gives me another sensatory bliss (as wine or beer or coffee can give me too).
