https://youtu.be/GLVaPXNKbNY

Smell strong bergamot (citrus)
Steeped 4 minutes boiling water 1tsp tea in mug
Taste
Hint citrus, mostly bakey with toasty finish and astringent aftertaste
Lovely with honey and cream

I would happily have this again but it's not the best Earl Gray I've had

Resteeped it too long the second time so it was too astringent and the third time I resteeped it, it was very weak

Rating: 3/4 leaves
Leaf system: 
1=Bleh! not again if it were free 
2=Acceptable, if it were free or there were limited other tea options 
3=I might purchase this tea from time to time, or select it while out 
4=A staple in our cupboard from now on, I will purchase and keep purchasing
