I do notice bergamot, but there are a lot of other aromas in there, and it smells cloying, more like potpourri than a flavored black tea.

Upon brewing, I find I like the aroma even less, because the bergamot is even more obscured by other flavorings.  To be honest, it reminds me a lot of the air fresheners used in public restrooms...not the sort of smell I want to drink.

A somewhat subdued tea that was slow to infuse, but became quite robust if steeped long enough.  Quite different from a typical breakfast tea.

The dry leaf, which is fairly large pieces of leaf that are tightly rolled, smelled slightly of cocoa, but wasn't very aromatic, nor was the cup upon brewing.  But when I sipped the cup I was surprised by a very pleasant flavor that is both bold and smooth.  Very warming.
