1 sachet for 300mL water @90C, steeped five minutes.
I’ve been utterly ruined for Earl Grey by TeaBox’s Earl Grey Citrus, which remains the most fragrant and delicious EG I’ve ever had — probably because it’s so very fresh. Stash comes second, especially with their double bergamot EG.
So I admit, I was expecting the bergamot here to light may fire.
Well, it blows on the embers nicely. I would hardly call this an “intense” EG, more of a medium-to-strong EG. The tea base is quite good, which can make or break an EG, no matter how much or how little bergamot is used.
It’s delicious. Don’t get me wrong. It’s a lovely, sparkling bright Earl Grey with a good tea base, and a very smooth finish. I would happily serve this to someone I know likes a good EG, and I would buy it again.I could drink this all day. For intensity, though, TeaBox and Stash are way ahead.
This is a nice EG. The bergamot is strong, and the black tea is high quality. There’s almost a creamy/vanilla flavor, but maybe that’s my imagination. It was better warm the first day, but it was decent cold the second day too. The resteep was good. I wouldn’t necessarily seek this out over other versions, but it’s tasty.
Adventaggedon Day 9: Tea 7/7
Yeah, this is too much bergamot for me.
Here’s the thing though… I find most of Kusmi’s Earl Grey teas are already a very intense/strong leaning bergamot so when I saw they were essentially carrying an extra strong EG I kind of balked at it. I will say it’s not a bad bergamot by any stretch and the hint of more pithy lemon is also nice. However, this is clearly meant for the Earl Grey lover and that is, well, not me.
