Was initially not impressed with this tea, but I’m pretty sure I was just “drinking it wrong”. I know some of y’all will see this as blasphemous, but I always take my earl grey with at least two packets of sweetener and a splash of milk (I’m usually a purist, I swear!). So for the first 5 cups or so of this tea, I did just that. Something just didn’t seem right. So then I tried drinking it straight and the creaminess came through, and I cursed myself for not realizing this sooner! It’s almost strange how sweet & creamy this straight tea is. And it’s all balanced very well with the bergamot.
Second steep the creaminess was even more noticeable, because the bergamot seemed slightly less prevalent.
