Stella D. ★★★★★

Finally, an earl grey that actually tastes like something. The bergamot is sharp and present, not shy, and the Kenyan black tea gives it a real backbone that holds up to milk. I've been making it my afternoon pot for a week now and it's the only tea that doesn't get watery on the second steep.

Zoe ★★★★★

The bergamot hits you right away but the Kenyan and Assam bases keep it from being thin or perfumey. I’ve been drinking it black every morning and it’s got exactly the kind of punch I need before the day starts.

Olivia ★★★★★

This is the first earl grey that actually tastes strong enough for my morning. The Italian bergamot comes through clearly but doesn’t get lost, and the Kenyan and Assam base gives it a real backbone. Brewed it for four minutes and it held up beautifully with a splash of milk.
