I’m shocked for 2 reasons at the moment…
1…I can’t believe I am the first to log this tea and 2…I can’t believe how STRONG this tea is!
WOW!
It’s very dark brown in color and it smells like Earl Grey and Lavender but I think the Bergamot is more of a sweeter smelling Bergamot than a ‘multipurpose cleaning type’ that some taste and smell like
This is a VERY strong, bold Black Earl Grey Tea! WOW! It does say soft floral…I think it’s fairly intense and paired with the other Earl Grey components it just makes it more so.

The lavender scared me a way from purchasing this tea the first time I saw it. Is it really floral with the lavender, or is the floral more subtle? Glad the tea is bold and strong, but is it the floral that is strong or the bergamot and black?
I think it’s strong all around…the black tea and bergamot moreso but when I read ‘soft floral’ would certainly say it’s MORE than ‘soft’ it’s fairly loud, IMO
This is one I will have to try. I have only tried “Lavender Earl Grey” tea once (most likely, it was a Metropolitan Tea blend) and at that time, my experience was that the lavender was a bit overwhelmed by the bergamot and tea, so I could barely discern the Lavender in the blend. I love lavender in tea blends, but I want to actually TASTE the lavender!
