Provence d’Antan Advent Calendar 2022 – Day 5
A black tea from Provence d’Antan today! This is an Earl Grey with added lemon.
Wow, I’m actually surprised by how much the lemon stands out. If I didn’t know better, I would guess it was yuzu, that’s how zesty it is. The bergamot is much gentler by comparison, but I can taste its floral notes in the middle to end of the sip, when the lemon starts to calm down a bit. The base is very light and doesn’t contribute much, though oddly the color is quite dark. I would definitely like a bit more from the black tea here.
Also worth noting, there were small pieces of what looked like lemon peel in my teabags, but the ingredients on the back of the box don’t list anything but tea and flavoring. Hmm…
Flavors: Bergamot, Citrus, Citrus Zest, Floral, Lemon, Lemon Zest, Smooth, Yuzu
