I think I like this better than the Adagio version I recently had. It still doesn’t taste 100% like EG, but it’s good. The main flavor is rooibos with a bit of bergamot. I like it better with milk. I may stop ordering rooibos EGs because they don’t really hit the spot in the same way. For what it is, it’s decent though. It doesn’t have any weird flavors, and it has a strong second steep. I almost taste some vanilla or something creamy bringing it all together, but I think that’s my imagination.

That’s how I feel about rooibos Earl Greys, too. I can usually tolerate them if I add some lavender and prepare as a latte, but I just don’t really care for the flavor of bergamot paired with rooibos.

Yeah, I was really hoping they’d work for me since I don’t drink a lot of caffeine, but I guess I’m sticking with decaf black EG!

I’m an event planner who always has multiple mugs of tea beside me. Hobbies other than tea include board games, video games, cooking international dishes, science fiction, hiking, jigsaw puzzles, tap dancing, reading, listening to podcasts, and playing with my troublesome kitties.

Favorite flavors: dessert flavors, nutty, melon, mint, strawberry, anything rooibos-related.

Don’t prefer: Smoky, rosemary, savory flavors, floral (other than lavender), plain tea.

I always drink flavored tea, and preferably caffeine-free or black. I’ll try just about anything though! Let me know if you’re interested in a swap!

My ratings are kind of meaningless, but basically
90-100 pretty perfect
80-89 really good
70-79 good, but not the best
60-69 okay, but probably not for me
1-59 varying degrees of dislike
