This is a smooth and mellow Earl Grey tea; check it out when in the UK.
To the traditional mix of china black tea and bergamot, Tea Palace adds dried blue malva flowers which smooth out the tea and add a hint of sweetness. It is one of their best selling teas.
I haven't found anything similar in the US. Some earl grey teas add blue cornflowers, but they add nothing except a bit of color to the dried tea.
My favorite earl grey tea, though, is to start with a good china black tea, and add a drop of bergamot oil to the cup while it is steeping. Fresher, more fragrant, better flavor.
