Ingredients : China black tea leaves, rare bergamot oil
Aroma: Smells exactly like Earl Grey, more citrus-y than most, and the bergamot does smell strong and maybe, spicier?
Packaging: Tea is packaged both loose and bagged, loose tea comes in a tin, bagged tea comes in triangle fiber sachets, in a large clear box.
Tea Leaf Quality: Quality tea, large black tea leaves.
Taste: As we should know by now, my favorite tea - ever - is Earl Grey. This tea had me hoping high (high hopes, get it?...) and I have to say maybe that is why I was disappointed. I'll start by saying Tracy knows her stuff when it comes to her SALONTEA, and her other flavors have blown me away. This blend was bland. A bland blend ...bland blend. In all seriousness, this tea tasted like watered down Earl Grey. I let it steep for the full 5 minutes, (I am sorry I don't have a picture of the tea, and for the horrible quality of the pictures I do have, I was having camera issues, and had to use my iPhone) the tea was beautiful dark brown/black. I had all reasons to believe this tea would be amazing, and I just feel scammed.
