The first thing I noticed about this one was that it contains rose petals rather than the more usual cornflowers, which makes it both different and pretty – an excellent combination! It also smells delicious – really, really peachy!
Suprisingly, it tastes peachy also, which is as amazing as it is unexpected. It’s the best kind of peach, too – not artificial at all, but nicely juicy and fruity. Like an actual ripe peach. There isn’t a lot of bergamot, so this would be an excellent EG for a bergamot hater (I know you’re out there…I think I used to be one of you!) It’s muted and subtle, and you could pretty much pretend it’s not there for what you can taste of it. The black tea base is very smooth with a nectar-like sweetness that perfectly complements the peach flavouring.
I was expecting a pretty standard EG, but this is far from being that. I think this is what I thought Bird & Blend’s Earl’s Paradise would be like, before I was bitterly (and that’s no joke…) disappointed. I’m struggling to call this one an EG, though – it’s really a peach-flavoured black playing dress-up.

This was the EG I got to adapt my palate to bergamot (yup, I was that person that used to hate it). I needed something to babystep my tongue into it, and used this tea. Still love it, one of the only teas I’m willing to put up with T2’s shit packaging for. To me the peach tastes more like lychee and I like the floral overtones, too. And now I can drink EGs fine so long as they are on the more mild side or have some additional flavorings.
