Seductive caramel and red berry notes on nose— very pretty— layered on earl grey base. Sumptious palate, though it might be a bit thin in places. Very good, overall.

I think this is a decent cup of earl grey, not sure I agree with the negative reviews. Tasted v. Harney’s Earl Grey Supreme, which is a favorite, the nose is slightly toastier, rounder; not as much bergamot but this holds up admirably.

Really pretty vanilla, clove and allspice notes in addition to caramel. A truly interesting earl grey variation.

Pronounced lemon oil aroma on open of dry leaves. Nose on steep is rich with some of the classic earl grey roundness and gentle floral quality (coneflower? Vanilla?). On palate it is a little stiff and not as nuanced. My least favorite of the Kusmi earl grey variations.

Roast/burnt tasting. Dull.

Roast is not very clean; substantially lower grade than what’s available at most reputable online retailers.

Mossy, earthy, not super distinct aromas. Basic mouthfeel.

Good nighttime elixir. 5 points for including ashwaganda, kava, valerian, passionflower. The flavor itself is good but leaves something to be desired.

A little light on the cinnamon and cardamom spice, but overall well rounded and has become my go to non-caffeinated chai.
