Anyone who knows me knows that Earl Gray is my absolute favorite tea. Bergamot is my favorite scent and flavor by far. I am so disappointed by Numi aged earl gray and I expect better because their other teas blow my socks off. The scent of the dry tea bag should have set me up for disappointment. It doesn't smell like much, black tea with the faintest whiff of bergamot. After a 4 minute steep the tea is a beautiful deep black. There isn't really a scent. The bergamot taste can only be described as murky. And there's a little bit of a burnt after taste. I am happy I didn't steep for the full 5 minutes allowed by the instructions. Overall a disappointment.
