Smoky Earl Grey is not a flavor combination I would have come up with, but the cute tin on this one suckered me in and I don’t regret it a bit! Bergamot is definitely the main note here, with the smokiness just adding a bit of depth and complexity to the blend. It’s a bit assertive if you drink it straight, but with a dash of milk, it’s a wonderfully rich and flavorful morning tea. I’ve found myself reaching for it 5 out of the 7 days since I bought it, so I’d say this purchase was a success!
Flavors: Bergamot, Smoke
Yay, smoky EG… that’s something for me!
I’m totally a sucker for cute packaging, myself!
@Devon – Aren’t we all? ;)
In general I’d say “don’t judge a tea by its tin”, but it worked out for me this time! :)
I’ll have to find this tea to drink soon…it’s around here somewhere.
