I have prepared this tea from colours of Ceylon set twice already. One as a family pot tea with fillable tea bag, for second time I have prepared in in French press. I remember more from second preparation as it was today, and actually I have a little rest in my cup while writing those lines.
While steeped, for approximately 3-4 minutes, I have noticed bergamot naturally and quite surprisingly, red fruits and malt from the base I assume.
The flavour of Earl Grey… yes, I mean the bergamot, is very different between those preparation method. While I had it from pot, it was mellow, smooth and nice level of it. However, when brewed in French press, it is rather very lemony, rough and very strong. Tongue tingling. I am not fan of this level of bergamot. Maybe I will need to shake the bag which is it in, as maybe the flavouring isn’t spreaded evenly.
It is shame, because the base seems very fine. And I want to notice more from the base than from bergamot only.
Flavors: Bergamot, Lemon Zest, Malt, Red Fruits
