This Earl Grey has a classic British character.
The dry leaf is very aromatic, with a strong, fresh smell.
Upon brewing, steeping for 6 minutes, this produces a rich cup with moderate strength of flavor and a moderate body. The Bergamot is bold but not overpowering, and the base tea has somewhat of a warming quality while straddling the middle ground between robust and light. The bergamot aroma gets a bit perfumey at times, and the base tea a bit bready or malty at others.
I enjoyed this tea a good amount. It's reasonably priced as well.
I recommend brewing 6 minutes. With a 3 minutes steeping, this seemed more thin-bodied to me.
