French Earl Grey -irtolehtitee

The floral petals make this feel more elegant than your standard Earl Grey, and the black tea base holds up beautifully to a second steep. I’ve been brewing it every afternoon since the bag arrived and the bergamot is bright without being sharp.

The citrus from the bergamot oil comes through beautifully without overpowering the black tea, and the floral petals make each cup feel a bit special. I've made this both hot and as a cold brew, and the flavor stays smooth and aromatic either way.

The bergamot is definitely the star here, sharper and more citrusy than the plain Earl Grey I usually drink. I do wish the black tea base was a bit stronger, since it gets a little lost once the petals open up, but it's still a lovely afternoon cup.
