Among the Tazo varieties this one is just a mystery to me. So much as touch this to your water and you have a bitter steep. Maybe it's the fannings in there. I don't know, but this is a pretty astringent Earl Gray without a lot of complexity (dull and muted, in terms of flavor).
The best thing about this is the strong floral bergamot scent after brewing, but by the time I finish the tea I always regret those first few sips--it gets increasingly bitter, not more flavorful, as you drink.
