I quite enjoyed this one, though I’m not a huge fan of Earl Grey. The chocolate note was prominent, quite rich and deep, working nicely with the bergamont. I’m not sure if I’d repurchase, but this was a good-quality, well blended cuppa. So many oddball blends turn out worse than their individual parts, but this worked quite nicely. It’s a good cuppa for an autumn day, somehow. A bit decadent, but somehow also…pragmatic. I imagine drinking this before a big late-night assignment, wanting to have a treat but still knowing there’s a lot of work ahead. Perhaps it’s my quintessentially British soul that equates a “treat” with “hard work.” No chocolate tea without some commensurate effort!
