So far, this is my favorite EG, because it's less expensive than similarly robust English teas but comparable in body and richness. This tea hits you with a hearty dose of bergamot, exactly as advertised. No pretension, no fanciful attempts at backtaste or mystery...and I like it that way. It's a tea John Wayne might appreciate were he still alive.
This probably is the only American EG that competes toe-to-toe with the strongest English EGs for both bergamot potency and flavor of the base tea. I'll try anything at least once, especially as a gift or at a hotel, but it will take a lot to pry this one off the pedestal as my preferred EG to buy and pour into my gullet.
