#mugtober sipdown (2654)!
The theme on this day was “tea mail” so I picked out this sachet sample that I received in a tea swap with thereaderscup – it’s the last of the Bridgerton themed teas she had sent me and I’ve truthfully been putting off trying it since I’m not a big fan of plain Earl Grey. This was a very good excuse to finally just drink it, though.
I was quite pleasantly surprised. It’s still not super my cup of tea, but it was a lot more enjoyable than I’d expected it to be. Quite sweet, for an Earl Grey, and with almost more of a bright orange note than actual bergamot. I feel like for someone who LOVES bergamot/traditional Earl Grey this would likely actually be a disappointing experience but for someone like me who doesn’t it was a refreshingly different take and I really liked the sweet orange vibes.
