The bergamot dominates the tea aroma in this blend, but what black tea there is in the aroma has a decent quality. I find that Earl Grey tends to make a better decaffeinated tea than most other black teas, and this tea fits that pattern well.
I still find this tea, like most of mighty leaf's offerings, to be insanely overpriced. 100 pouches for $62.50 (or a higher price if you buy less) is highway robbery. For that price, you could buy something organic and fair trade and get both more quantity and more quality. If you're going to buy from Mighty Leaf, I'd recommend any number of their other offerings--many of their teas are truly high quality even if they are expensive, but this one I found only average.
