No. Just… no.
Thanks Auggy for giving me different steeping instructions for this guy. It actually tasted a bit better this time around – the bergamot flavor was almost manageable, but it’s still So. Bitter. I did get to taste the Ceylon this time around, which is just smooth default Adagio Ceylon. But the bergamot here just kills me. It’s noxious and overwhelming and just not fun.
If I can’t finish a cup, I really can’t rate this very highly. Is it the worst tea ever? No, and I’m sure that someone that LOVES bergamot would like this. But to me it’s just an unbalanced mess. Too bad it smells so gorgeous. It tempts me into making it only to disappoint me into oblivion.

I’m a big Earl Grey fan, but I HATED
Whoops! HATED Adagio’s version. I love SpecialTeas’ versions far more.
I like how your teas have genders:) Maybe you could blend it w/ a female one?;)
Well, the tea name IS “Earl Grey.” He seems like quite the gentleman. This is his bratty younger brother of a tea. :(
Bethany, I’m so happy someone else disliked this one. I feel so silly for disliking it… and I’ve been having lots of troubles with EGs in general. The closest thing I’ve come to liking an EG was Twinings’ Lady Grey. So maybe there’s hope for me yet!
i dont like EGs but twinings lady Grey is delicious. maybe its the balance of flavors? who knows :) too bad its 130am or id brew up a cup of lady grey :)
