Tippy Earl Grey

You might just know Earl Grey tea as the tea that Captain Picard orders up. Of course, it's been around long before then, even before TOS!

It's basically black tea with bergamot oil. Bergamot is a citrus fruit, basically a bitter orange.

But there's a problem. I loathe Earl Grey tea. The bergamot rubs me the wrong way. I've never met an Earl Grey tea I liked. But maybe this one will be different.

Nope, don't like this at all.

But don't take that as a comment on the tea itself. It's very fragrant and has a flavor I would image would appeal to someone who doesn't loathe the very ground in which bergamot grows.

So, yeah, it was kinda pointless for me to try this one. But I said I would try each and every one of the 31 samples.
