Tea2you's earl grey is one of the smoothest I've had. It is rather light with a smoky taste that luckily does not overpower the tea as a whole. It has a consistent taste through the sip without a front or back end prevalent taste. Rather nice if you ask me. I've become accustomed to teas that end with too much of a punch. I'm looking at you Taylors of Harrogate. It's would be an almost perfect cup if it had more bergamot taste.
Had a nice chat with the fellow at their stand in London’s Borough Market. Their teas come from India. Even the bergamot which I expected to come from the famous Calabria region of Italy. Being a British establishment he says the British brought the trees to India from Italy on one of their "rule the world trips". My words not his. The citrus bergamot tree was taken from Italy to grow in India and that country's significantly lower labor and manufacturing cost has led to it become an attractive alternative for the bergamot buyers of the world. Tea2you's entire earl grey blending process is done in India and shipped to London for selling/very much enjoying.
You can find their tea at their shop(pe) in Borough Market in London. They provide free samples so you can try their offerings.
