This is definitely a novel twist on Earl Grey, using a Darjeeling as a base tea, and having more lemony overtones than the standard Bergamot quality. It's not clear whether this is actually flavored with a lemony bergamot oil or with lemon as well, but it does resemble normal Earl Grey enough that I can see this as just being a particularly lemony sort.
Overall? Although it was weaker and more lemony on the first sip, I actually enjoyed it quite a lot and thought it was well-executed. The base tea is light, and the flavoring light as well. A bit tangy, smoother than most Earl Greys, but still with some bitterness.
Interesting and worth trying, but, in my opinion, not as good as Ronnefeldt's other black teas.
