Tasting Notes: citrus and floral 

Description:  Lively earl grey that has a captivating balance of Italian bergamot with high elevation Darjeeling Indian black tea.  A delicate earl grey that has the perfect harmony of citrus and floral notes mingling in each sip. 

What sets this earl grey apart is the vibrant bergamot balancing with Darjeeling tea's smooth astringency and pleasing dry-mouth finish.  An unforgettable tea that lingers on your palate.  

We love this earl grey for a midday and afternoon pick-me-up.  We recommend this tea for those that enjoy a light-bodied earl grey that is full of flavor. This tea would be perfect for lovers of lady grey and traditional earl grey.  We enjoy this tea straight up but you can add honey, sugar, or lemon.  We also love this tea iced - it's our current favorite iced earl grey tea.
