My go-to tea is Earl Grey. Most places that serve hot tea have it and it is my favorite type. Captain Picard isn't a fool for loving this so much. I've been told by my husband that this tea is gross because of the "citrus" taste (which is actually the bergamont) but he doesn't captain the USS Enterprise so I just ignore his insults of this beautiful drink. The first time I ever had this particular tea was at a movie theater called iPic. You sit in reclining seats and press a button to order food and drinks. When I ordered an Earl Grey tea, this is what they brought me. I order it every time I go to that theater. When I stumbled upon it at the local Fresh Market I was extremely excited. I have it every day now in one of my huge mugs that hold 3 cups of water.
So far, this is my favorite Earl Grey I have ever tried. The bergamot is really well balanced. I've come across some Earl Grey teas that have a very over powering bergamot taste and others that barely have any. You should be able to taste both the black tea and the bergamot equally in my opinion. I know there are some bergamot lovers out there which is why there's a tea out there with double bergamot added. You wild tea drinkers. If you want to sample different black teas including Earl Grey, Twinings makes a great little sampler box for cheap that they sell at most grocery stores like Publix. It includes English breakfast, Irish breakfast, Earl Grey, and Lady Grey (which is like a more subtle Earl Grey).
