Another of Bird & Blend’s recent Earl Grey collection.
Not too long ago I had another smoked Earl Grey from a company based here in Montreal and it was the first smoked Earl Grey I’ve really enjoyed. By comparison, this falls flat for me. It kind of has the same problems I’ve had with other smoked Earl Grey teas in the last, like the one from Fortnum & Mason, where it’s just too many really intense, aromatic flavours at once that are competing with each other. The balance is just off.
I think that’s because the amount of bergamot in this blend is stronger than the blend from Totem Tea (Earl’s Pipe) and there’s seemingly more lapsang in the blend overall too. Just so much boldness happening. It feels like two people shouting at each other as if they’re on opposite sides of the room, but in reality they’re standing right next to each other. Maybe with milk to dampen some of the flavour noise it might be better!?
But as it stands I just don’t think this one is particularly for me, which is a small bummer because I do tend to really enjoy Bird and Blend’s other smoked teas.
