Review of Earl Grey

Broken-leaf, but not fannings like their English Breakfast. I brewed for only 1 minute. The cup was a very rich reddish brown color.
Aroma is extremely perfumey for an Earl Grey, and rather fruity and citrusy. Smells more like a normal orange than the bergamot orange too, and smells almost candy-like, but almost a bit woody too. Not entirely good or bad, just different. Aroma is also reminiscent of those old yellow pencils I used to use a lot in elementary school. It kinda brings me back...although it's weird because I don't associate that as a food or drink aroma.
