Smooth. Robust. Flavorful. Just the right amount of bergamot. Probably someone’s perfect Earl Grey. But for me the tea base seems too heavy and strong due to Keemun, not refreshing enough. It’s more on the smokier side though I can’t taste any smoke directly if it makes any sense, the blending is done very nicely indeed.
I’ve been drinking loose leaf tea all my life. I always take tea plain without adding any sweetener or milk to it. Would love to swap for tea, feel free to contact me about it.

This is my favorite Earl Grey.
Darn. Now I’m wishing I had gotten this one when I was in their store in Hawaii. I got the EG with some sort of berry (I forget which one) but haven’t cracked it open yet.
