The red Spanish safflower against the black lapsang souchong and Ceylon base accompanied by a rich smoky aroma makes for an almost ominous looking leaf. Perfect for October. This also has bergamot but honestly it is so light it isn’t particularly noticeable. It is satisfying my LS craving from yesterday.

Can’t envision LS with bergamot—wouldn’t that be like two cats fighting in a cardboard box?

To me there is little better than a lightly smoky earl grey. I had one from Utopia (I think), that was excellent. This however is a LS with just a touch of bergamot. You really don’t notice it. I was craving smoke. Its got that handled.

I’ve had a couple of lapsang/earl grey combos, one that was nicely done, & another that was like a chick who visited the perfume counter at the mall & then came to the BBQ, if you know what I mean :D
I think blending those 2 is a real balancing act!

Terri – lol. Reminds me of an old Confederate Railroad song, I like my women a little on the trashy side… and sometimes my tea.

Harney’s also has a smokey earl grey that is very well done. Called the earl of Harlem.
