This was my first time tasting an Earl Grey tea. I definitely appreciated the bergamot orange balancing out the black tea flavor a bit, though it still wasn't enough for me to outright enjoy this tea. On its own, it was still too tanniny, or something (bitter isn't quite the right word). With food (I had fried eggs) it was definitely more enjoyable, so I can see why teas like this are considered "breakfast" teas. Now that I have a baseline for what to expect, I need to try a higher quality version of this tea to give a real test.

Until then, my apologies to Captain Picard -- but your tea is not for me. ;-)
