8.5/10
This is a mellow version of an Earl Grey tea. It has a little less bergamot than the average Earl Grey tea which makes it an excellent brew for Earl Grey nay-sayers to try. The taste is pleasantly smooth, a calmer blend that still has good citrus flavor in the forefront. The floral notes remain in the finish and leave a pleasant aftertaste.
My family and I decided that this was the perfect English tea. We are huge Earl Grey fans it kind of goes with our love of high teas. This tea goes perfectly with scones, tea breads and any number of tea foods. You will enjoy trying a taste of food from the tea tray, a taste of tea, then another taste of a different food. It stands up to milk and sugar well providing a smoothing of the astringency coupled with an enhancement of the bergamot and citrus flavors.
We tried this one iced, which evoked a sweet, vanilla taste that was good, but I would prefer drinking it hot. Try this tea even if you dont like Earl Grey, or if you just want to try something different but still a classic tea.
