Rishi Tea Earl Grey Supreme Organic Black Loose Leaf Tea, Caffeinated, 1lb

This is now my go to earl gray tea. The natural bergamot they use is absolutely noteworthy in its different to how synthetics smell. There’s a totally different layer to it. And I love it. The taste and otherwise? It good, I’ve had comparable results with other good quality earl grays, but I just really enjoy the fact that they are one of a few sources that use real bergamot. I’m buying again right now.

I Love This! I saw a suggestion to make the first brew of this tea a little on the weaker side and to keep the steeping time short, so I did. I love Earl Grey tea, this is remarkable. I don't think I've ever had real bergamot oil in my tea. It's so mildly citrus-y and lovely. I added a little honey, and I'm very taken with this tea. I'm on my 3rd steep with the same leaves, and I brewed large 20oz cups. It's wonderful. If you need to be smacked around by the flavor of artificial bergamot to feel like you got the tea you wanted, this isn't for you. If you want to taste what real, natural bergamot is supposed to be, try this. The is a quality tea that I used to have to walk through villages in England to find in tiny little hole-in-the-wall tea shops. Update: brewed it stronger on the first fresh round today. It's sublime. The aroma, the subtle citrus-y floral notes, just a hint of honey to sweeten... I love this tea.

The smell of true bergamot oil is evident when you open the bag. The whole room is filled with the intoxicating aroma of bergamot. The flavour is reminiscent of Earl Grey from long ago, before “flavouring” was added to black tea. This is true Bergamot not a “flavouring”. It’s been years since I was able to relax with a truly clean brew with the authentic clean flavour of bergamot. If you’ve never drunk Earl Grey this is the benchmark. If you’re tired of being disappointed with other brands this is the real deal. The Earl Grey for which you are searching. Try this tea!

Fantastic tea! I love yunnan tea, and Earl Grey should be made with Chinese black tea anyway. The bergamot is deep and rich, very fine quality, a natural oil and tea high quality, long leaf, well made. This combination is excellent. If you're used to tea blends, like Indian, Sri Lanka, Indonesian, African for your Earl Grey, along with bergamot "flavoring" this may be too intense for you. I recommend using 20% less tea than your usual non Chinese loose leaf blend Earl Grey teas, and then determine how much you prefer going forward. I think this is an exceptional tea, and of high quality. Therefore a good value. I intend to purchase more.

Very nice quality tea. A little more floral than citrusy.

If you have a loose leaf strainer it is worth opting for the loose leaf form of the tea. Stronger bergamot scent than the bagged version. Nearly out of our first bag and will be buying it this way from now on.

Excellent quality

At $33/lb I expect a rich and flavorful tea. This is not what I would call a quality product even though it's labled supreme. Great aroma, but the leaves are so dry, the resealable part on the bag was only attached to one side so there's no way to reseal, ended up using a bunch of jars. After brewing, there's almost no bergamot taste and that's at 3 tablespoons per cup, 5 minute steep with slightly boiled water.

flowery Earl Grey. There are NO cornflowers in this just oil for flavoring. It is very strong, so only use 2/3. I love Fortnum and Mason Earl Grey, which I am setting my standard at.
