I actually really like this one! It smells strongly of orange when you first open the package. I ended up putting 2 tsp in my tea pot this morning, then forgetting about it and making something else. So when I got home about an hour ago, I boiled some water and made this.

The water cooled for 3-4 minutes, as I was using the timer for some instant noodles I’m testing for hiking (They were OK. The canned chicken was surprisingly decent [PC Blue Menu chunks], so I’ll be getting more of those and drying them.). Steeped for almost 3 minutes, poured into a mug with a little honey.

Yum! Because it’s not bergamot, I wouldn’t really call this an Earl Grey. It is a really nice orange tea, though. ahem It has a much nicer orange smell and flavour than the Murchie’s Mandarin Spice.

I’m really enjoying this with just the honey, and can hardly wait for the weather to warm up again so I can try it iced. I’ll probably get more of this one for the summer (free shipping in BC is just so incredible!), because I can see myself going through a lot of it.
