Additional notes: REBLEND. WELL, it looks like I’ll be one of the first to write a tasting note for the reblend of this one. I had a sample of this one before, it was even old. Somehow, this new batch tastes even older than that tea. The old blend was so nice! Definite cheesecake and nice bergamot on a decent black tea. The new batch… everything is different. The new black tea base!! Ack, I hate it. The flavor is nothing I can see anyone remotely liking. I can tell by the fragrance it just isn’t the same. There really isn’t a cheesecake flavor, though there is a smoothness to it. And the bergamot definitely doesn’t seem the same.. or even like actual bergamot. Very disappointed in this one. I don’t know how it could be THIS different from the blend I’ve tried before. I’d lower the rating on this batch to a 73. Maybe this is another that needs to simmer in the pouch a while… I’ll try it again in a few weeks.

Ahhh, I’m so disappointed to hear this. I just ordered some yesterday based off old tasting notes and my love of Earl’s. Thanks, one for doing the reblend.
That sucks, I’m sorry. I’ve never really had that much luck with his reblends.
I was tempted to buy this even tho I don’t like 52’s blacks. Glad I resisted!
Sorry! Maybe it’s just me though. But I have no idea if the blends were that good before, why they can’t be good again.
Dustin – I haven’t tried the reblend of Lemon Meringue Chai I bought yet… I’m a bit scared it won’t be as good, but I always have the pouch you sent me!
