This may be the best balanced Earl Grey I have ever drunk.The scent is delicate and not at all overly aromatic. The taste follows suite and imparts a thinner taste of oil onto the tongue than does the more commercially packaged (teabags) version; even those by Twinings.If you like a hint of Bergamot than this is the tea for you. If you really love to be overwhelmed by Bergamot, than you will want to try a different product.Cheers
