This is a pleasant EG with strong citrus and lots of bergamot. I found the citrus was almost too strong, but the coffee leaf base was slightly roasted so it was a unique take on EG. I do find EGs are much better with milk, so I added some vanilla soy milk and poured it over ice (first brewed hot but then iced and drank cold). It is almost spring here on Canada’s west coast and we have daffodils and crocuses coming up soon in the garden. It is sunny but cold today (~10 deg C) but I thought sun instead of rain/clouds was reason enough to have an iced tea.
One critique of this EG is that without a black tea base, there is no malty undertones. I also like my EGs with vanilla (cream of EG or Vanilla EG) so this plain version was made even less desirable by the lack of malty black tea and the lack of vanilla flavouring.
Flavors: Bergamot, Citrus, Roasted
Hi Arby! Our new Earl Grey has been upgraded with a better bergamot oil from Sicily and also we added a light touch of vanilla to balance the citrus. From reading your review, I think you would really like it! Let us know if you want a sample and we can ship it out :)
Cheers,
Max
