شاي أسود إمبريال إيرل غراي

Steeped a pot for my usual 4pm slump and the bergamot is so bright it honestly woke me up better than the tea itself usually does. The black tea base is smooth enough that I don't need milk or sugar, which I didn't expect from an Earl Grey.

The bergamot aroma is beautifully strong without turning bitter, and the black tea base holds up perfectly to a splash of milk. I brewed a pot for an afternoon catch-up and the whole kitchen smelled incredible. This is my go-to now for a proper English cuppa.

This is my third tin and it's still the first tea I reach for when I need a proper afternoon pick-me-up. The bergamot is perfectly balanced against the black tea base, not too sharp or perfumey.
