This is just a delightfully mellow blend. The black is gently tannic without being bitter – probably because I’ve backed off from my usual 3 min steeps – and neither the bergamot nor the lavender hit you until the end of each swallow.
It’s not a tea I necessarily drink for flavor, but it’s a comfortable one to sip while your mind is elsewhere.
Self-employed, sleep deprived and always on the go.
Trying to cut down on caffeine – trying being the operative word – but I’m generally an Earl Grey drinker with a strong aversion to coconut, jasmine and chocolate in my tea.
I brew almost exclusively Western style, unsweetened.

If you see something in my cupboard and want to try it, hit me up – I’m always down to sell/trade samples
