Details
The Double Bergamot Earl Grey Tea blend from English Tea Store is for those who like a stronger taste of citrus. This Earl Grey tea is a finely ground blend of Indian and Ceylon teas. The tea gets its unusual flavor from oil of Bergamot, which is a small acidic orange. The latest research indicates that the Bergamot orange is a cross between the sweet or pear lemon (Citrus Limetta) and the Seville or sour orange (Citrus Aurantium). The sour orange is native to southern Vietnam, hence the Chinese connection.
This tea has a light refreshing taste, and can be served hot with or without milk or sugar. It can also be used to make iced tea.
Earl Grey tea was named after Charles Grey, the second earl in his line. He was Prime Minister to King William IV in the early 19th century. The legend is that the Earl was given the recipe by a Chinese mandarin with whom he was friends, and whose life he had saved.

Excellent quality and delicious
If you like Earl Grey, the double bergamot will be your new favorite. The fragrance is delightful, strong, but the “extra” bergamot is not overwhelming - just the right amount.

Taste great and strong
Earl Grey is my favorite, I always buy the loose leaves so I bought this because of the double Bergamot, it’s nice and strong, I always use cream and sugar and tea must be HOT. The only glitch is it’s a bit too fine, but not a deal breaker.

Double Bergamot Earl Grey
Nothing double about this Earl Grey. I found it disappointing.
-
Leaves were too finely ground...
Very disappointed. When I opened the package, I noticed that the tea leaves were so small that they fell through the mesh on even my finest mesh tea ball. I tried it anyway; the tea had a bitter aftertaste. Did I get the bottom of the barrel? I saw no evidence of insects--but it sure looked like the consistency of something that had been digested by insects. The rest of the tea is going into my compost!

Love This Tea
I mix this with Earl Gray Cream, or Lavender, or both for a unique flavor. Really picks me up in the morning. If you like Black Tea, Especially Earl Grey, you'll love this.

Very fragrant tea, love it.
Very fragrant tea, love it. Have been using this for many years. I tried switching to Earl Grey teabags for a few months but they lack the rich fragrance that comes from the double bergamot flavor. Also with loose tea, you can adjust the amount used to your taste.

Good
This Earl Grey is more citrusy than average, I would say. I prefer flowery over citrusy. It is finely ground. It looks like coffee. It's not my favorite, but it's not bad. Next time I'll try the leafy regular Earl Grey.
-
Heavenly
Sometimes a little extra of something just doesn’t make a difference...BUT the double Bergamot is a piece of heaven. It is the difference in a nice cup a tea and an awesome cup of tea. I do love both the Earl Grey teas I purchased from you, but I must say that the double Bergamot is truly special. It will be my go to tea for those evenings that I need an extra hug!

Only Earl Grey I will drink
This is the best Earl Grey tea I have ever had -- now it is the only one I will drink.
