This was the first Earl Grey I ever had, and so I cannot help but compare every Earl Grey since with this one. Probably a bad habit, as this is not an exemplary blend.
The overall flavor is pleasant, mild, and unobtrusive. The scent leaves something to be desired, as does the strength. As Earl Greys go, this one is very mild, making it a decent introduction to the blend - though, for more experienced drinkers, it is unsatisfactory. One plus is that it is so mild that oversteeping does not lead to the typical bitterness, in my experience. However, I have since come to look for much stronger flavor in my Earl Grey.
