This tea took me a little time to get used to because my brain kept going back and forth between noticing the chocolate notes and the Earl Grey notes. After a few cups, I ending up really liking. It has a good flavor and is well balanced between both the Earl Grey and chocolate.
This tea is absolutely delicious, but much more than that - for some reason it reminded me of a old New England teashop on Brattle Street, Cambridge from when I was back in college. I don't know how the tea did it, but thank you for the magic that brought back those cozy memories from so long ago.
I got this as a sample. I like my tea with a splash of milk and a little Splenda and my only regret is that this was only a sample. It was so so so good. Hints of creaminess on top of the brightness of earl grey... beautiful.
Received as a sample. I feel as though this is one of those blends that needs just a bit of added sweetness to help bring out all the flavors-- in this case, it felt necessary for the citrus/bergamot notes to appear. Dry and wet nose, if there wasn't a label on the sample, I wouldn't have been able to tell it was an Earl Grey-themed blend because the dark chocolate aromas dominated almost completely throughout. Brewed it long and strong. Very smooth, slightly thick mouthfeel. Once I added a dash of milk and a few sugar rocks, then I could taste the citrus notes hitting the roof of my mouth and throat. It's tasty enough, but not quite one I would go for in the future. Then again, I personally prefer flavor themes based on the ladies of Grey.
