I thought 4 oz. of this would be plenty, but I am rapidly going through the tin. This has swiftly become my favorite Earl Grey. As long as I get the steeping right (5 minutes exactly) the bergamot notes are very bright and fresh, and the tea has a wonderful smoothness. This tea is a lot more persnickety than most of Harney & Sons’ offerings though — I oversteeped some cups by a few minutes, and while still drinkable, it really wrecked the balance of flavors. Definitely one to set a timer for.

Not Really My Style:
spices (except for ginger. ginger rocks)
chai (because, you know, the spices)
rooibos (I don’t get it. Everyone seems psyched for it. Not me).
those smoky teas, like lapsang souchong, though once in a while I’ll need something really strong and then I like them.
