i am want to become bergamot, imbiber of lumpy green orange

Somehow i never tried earl gray until a couple weeks ago. It tastes like a new color and I’m obsessed. Stash double bergamot isn’t enough, it’s barely different than bigelow (but it’s the best I’ve found). I want more. I’m a perv for berg.

I want a bergamot tea bag that treats the tea leaves as an afterthought and i haven’t found it. I’ve tried stash, bigelow, walmart, harney and sons, private selection, twinings, and one other british sounding one that I’m forgetting atm. Stash double and bigelow are the best by far but i want like at least quadruple the bergamot flavor. Do i need to buy a vial of bergamot oil and drink it until i cry and realize the error of my ways?

Not having sufficiently bergamot-essenced earl gray is my own afghanistan.

    Earl grey is my absolute jam, but I can’t speak to which one is the most bergamot. If you like it though, Twinings also has lady grey, with more orange than bergamot, and Jasmine and lavender earl greys too. They are all phenomenal. Have you had lapsang suchong? It’s smokey!

      Oh yeah it seems like lady grey is pretty popular. i’ll pick up a box next time, i’ve always enjoyed bigelow’s constant comment so i’ll probably dig it
