Thank you Dexter3657 for sharing this blend with me.
I’va always been curious of this one especially after reading several notes of Ashmanra about it.
This is my first tea of the morning as it is supposed to be a bergamot tea and I find really nice to begin the day with an EG or even an EG’s spin off.

The liquor is very dark, depth and smells honey and berries.
Drinking it, I still get the honey notes and a little bergamot, stronger on berries, probably black currants to me, not sure.

I really appreciate the smoothness of this tea, free of any bitteness, almost creamy.
The flavours are not overpowering the tea itself and are subtile, natural and elegant flavours.
The tea base made of a mix of Chinese black teas is a medium bodied tea which pair perfectly with the subtile flavours evocated above in the note.

A very lovely blend.

why cannot I find bergamot nor citrus in the flavour rolling menu ? did you have the same lack ? It seems crazy it is not already present --so I decided not adding anything for flavours if I cannot immediately add all the ones I picked out

I don’t use that flavour thing at all, nor do I look at what other people put. It just doesn’t suit my approach at all, so I ignore it. I did however notice that a lot of people were missing the suggestions they wanted to use so I had a look at what was there. Those are some pretty wacky choices! Some of them sound like something Husband and my dad would use to describe their single malts. O.o

Hah! Yes, I’ve sent in 3 emails now to add flavours, because I don’t add any if all the ones I want aren’t there. I’ve yet to see my suggestions added though.

I think it is crazy we are allowed to create a tea into the database and not to add any flavour by ourselves…
Until yesterday I was not using the flavour things and I thought it can be ok to begin to use it but meh…no :)

My favorite characteristic of ToL is its flexibility and forgiveness…as addlepated as I often get, I haven’t managed to ruin a cup yet, regardless of steep time or temp.

First, please forgive me for my English and all the grammatical mistakes you’ll find in my posts.
As English isn’t my mother tongue it sometimes makes things more difficult to express cleverly and accurately what I feel.

I was mainly in black flavoured teas, green as well if not bitter.
I’m now drinking much straight teas because my palate is now developed enough to appreciate them .

My favourite brands are : Taiwan tea Crafts, Teavivre, Mariage Frères,Theodor,Butiki Teas,Dammann Frères, Betjeman & Barton.
My ratings are as follow :

100 to 95 : my darlings; always in my cupboard (or very often ! )

94 to 90 : Excellent tea

89 to 80 : very good tea, a pleasure to drink it

79 to 70: not bad even quite nice, why not having it sometimes, but well,it’s not so urgent !

69 to 50 : Meh, deceptive or just not for me – but has some qualities

49 to 30 : I just don’t appreciate it

Under 30 : is this thing supposed to be tea ?!?!?
