This has a little more bergamot than your average earl grey - it has more heft and orange taste - but it is not overwhelming, and is within the normal range for an EG. I find this to be a very good tea, nice with milk and sugar or lemon and sugar (which is my favorite way to take EG), and possessing a pleasant aroma. It is one of the better EG teas out there, and a very good deal at the current (2018) price.

Before I get into this review I should mention that I am not a huge fan of Earl Grey to begin with, so my review is tainted in that direction. This may be an excellent earl grey, but I am still not a fan.
The most appealing part of this tea is the wonderful aroma. The strong smell of bergamot is not overpowering, but rather leaves the nostrils quite content.
The flavor of the tea was well balanced. I liked to balance of tea to bergamot, which can sometimes be quite lacking. This being said, I am still not a fan of the tea, but that is more from personal preference than actual quality.
