A distinctive blend of Asian teas with citrus notes from Italian bergamot oil.

Maybe I was insane, going out after 10 o’clock just to get a flavour of tea that wasn’t in my cupboard. Earl Grey it was. I have always had a love hate relationship with this tea. When it’s badly mixed in a cheap tea, or adding milk to it, which seems like someone answering the question: “Do you want milk or lemon?” with BOTH!
Actually, I don’t use milk at all in tea, anymore. Perhaps Earl Grey was invented for people who don’t. The oil itself comes from the Bergamot Orange. Who knows, maybe a Brit was offered Uzu in Asia, only to return home and find none. Tea with toast and marmelade is a classic too.
I’m doing shots of this tea. The first two were not that good. It does take a little time for black tea to get ready. I can see now how bergamot might have been used to immitate better tea. It must add a bit of sourness to the taste as well (think lemon). Living in a Coca-Cola society, we should know this flavour? I’m sure that anyone dealing with bad tea everyday might look for something to make it taste better.
By the fourth steep the tea base is almost gone, still some bergamot, though. At package opening, you could smell the flavour. Now it’s tongue smackingly good.
Flavors: Bergamot
An alright accompaniment to an amazing breakfast of chilaquiles, poaches eggs and sausages. With sugar, milk and cream.
This is one of my favourite Earl Grey teas. It is so smooth and fragrant and tastes as good as it smells. There is a sweet tinge to the bergamot and it blends in lovely not too overpowering just the right amount. Side note – the first place I actually had this was at McDonalds and was surprised the tea was actually so good!
