The bergamot in this tea is way too strong for me. Which black tea is best to mix it with half-and-half?

Try an English breakfast tea, or if you want a different flavor profile, consider mixing in a green tea for its lighter flavor and higher antioxidant value.

I'll second D.L. Boyd's suggestion. The English breakfast should help maintain a good, black-tea flavor while mitigating the strength of the Bergamot.

Yes, I know what you mean. I like my first of the morning tea a little stronger and then dilute it with water by half later in the day. I don't throw away the grounds after the first brew but put a black tea bag in and let that brew.makes an excellent blend. the brand is Trescerro, marketed by IMA,Houston, Tx. Lift your lil finger and enjoy your tea!

Any citrus with any dairy product will always taste weird. Just use a non flavored black tea like an English breakfast tea, it was made to go with dairy.

Short answer: yes. Longer answer: i am trying it literally as I am typing this since that idea never came to me. the tea is very light in color so in the future i might mix it with other tea(s). But it does taste good. No off-notes of any kind

Im not sure. We have 5 people drinking the tea so we probably go through it a little faster than others (It has been about 2 months). Also, tt takes fine, but it does taste a little different than the normal Earl Grey tea.

I mix this with other herbs/flowers and white tea. I usually put no more than five or six buds in my tea pot. I've never made tea with only the rose buds.

Bergamot is an ancient aroma used by kings and princes for centuries. It has an orange/lemon aroma but less floral. I think it smells best mixed with other citrus smells, or with other Eurasian aromas (like sandalwood, frankincense, myrrh).

Actually is not an "herb" tea as such, it is black tea. We drink it for breakfast (the blend has body but is not bitter, it goes perfectly well with milk) and we like to mix it with Earl Gray, which is also black tea but with a very rich aroma that makes it so tempting in the morning. Hope we have helped you.

Twinnings pales in comparison. I used Davidson Earl Grey at my High Tea for the Earl Grey fans and they were in complete agreement that this Earl Grey is superior to any they have had before. Davidson should put me on thier payroll!!!

I can't compare it. I am allergic to caffeine and it seems to be in all Black Tea. Most commercial teas have Black Tea in them. Caffeine gives me migraines. So you can imagine how careful I am. Twinings is off limits. For some reason Sunflower tea doesn't bother me. It is green tea. From what I gather it is the tea you get an any restaurant in any Chinatown. You can get a small 1/4 lb. and give it a try. I like it rather strong.

I've had the Tea Forte's Earl Grey and this Davidson's is very good, but definitely stronger...more flavorful but stronger in general. I've converted and now the Te Forete version is weak and bland to me...

As of Feb' 15, Davidsonstea.com says this is an Indian Assam blend. Note that the description on Amazon says "A well-balanced traditional blend of robust Indian black and Keemun teas." I did not discover this until getting the tea. I was looking to try a blend with Keemun. It is a good if not great tea, and an OK value considering what my local farmer's market charges for organic Assam tea in bulk.

From Teas Etc website: "Avoid over steeping your tea by brewing with slightly less tea and water that is not as hot as normal." I mix black & herbal teas, use just a small amount and water just off the boil; but I put the lid on loosely or leave it uncovered when safe to do so, so it will cool more quickly. I continue to add water throughout the day then add a bit more tea later in the day. If removing the tea from the water is important, I recommend you consider another mug, such as the "Aladdin Tea Infuser Mug."

It is a full flavored tea (that is not some supermarket tea). Bergamot is a kind of grapefruit and the flavor runs true to that (hints of citrus, kind of smokey). personally I prefer the lavender earl gray since I like my earl grays slightly sweeter.

My daughter says mix with hot water and add a drop of bergamot oil. Tastes more like Earl Gray tea.

I use a WELL rounded full teaspoon, or two teaspoons in my tea infuser. Makes a strong tar. This bag wil last me forever.

I use the 1/2 lb Lipton Loose tea, which I don't believe is very finely ground, and his holes leak leaves out everywhere. It's pretty excessive, which is why I'm returning him.
