Ontbijt Earl Grey

The notes are properly balanced—neither too floral nor too sharp, so it works black or with a splash of milk without losing its character. I've been reaching for this tin every single morning since it arrived, and the ritual feels noticeably more polished.

The bergamot aroma hits you the moment the water touches the leaves, which makes the whole kitchen smell inviting before I've even taken a sip. It's bold enough to stand up to a splash of milk but still has that crisp, classic Earl Grey finish that carries me through the morning.

I usually drink plain black tea in the mornings, but this Earl Grey made me switch without a second thought. The bergamot is smooth and never sharp, and it steeps into a rich, almost creamy cup that holds up perfectly with milk. It's become my go-to first sip of the day.
