So, another Earl Grey try. (I will not cease untill I found a good one)
This cup is very (VERY) dark brown/orange.
It’s so bitter! I can taste the bergamot, but it’s not tasty.
I kind of understand the attraction to Earl Grey – Tea and bergamot?
It should be tasty! Have to keep trying.

Have you tried their Queen’s Blend? It’s like EG+ with a little green in it. I’m not really an EG fan myself, I don’t care much for the bergamot flavour, but I find that one drinkable.
On the other hand, if you didn’t care much for the regular EG, maybe I should warn you away from QB instead…
Oh man, totally know how you feel on the hunt for a good earl grey. I literally had to try every single brand I could get my hands on before finding something amazing! I can’t recommend any NZ brands to you, but have you tried any of the Harney & Sons earl greys? They allllllmost came close for me (I prefer a more plain earl grey with a strong bergamot kick instead of the typical floral ones).
I am considering the QB.
Going to buy some Perchs soon anyway. But I havn’t tried the Harney and Sons?
I am looking for a sweet fruity Earl Grey, I think. I’m not sure about the floral Earl Grey, but then again, sometimes I get suprised by the strangest tasting notes. (Like the one yesterday that tasted like mold, but actually tasted good)
