Creme Earl Grey

I was skeptical about a flavored Earl Grey being anyone's top seller, but the bergamot here is genuinely bright while the vanilla softens it into something dangerously easy to finish a pot of. My only problem is I've already gone through the bag in under two weeks, it's that smooth.

The vanilla sweetness is perfectly balanced against the bergamot, so it's smooth without ever turning cloying. I brewed a second cup from the same leaves and it held its flavor beautifully.

I've tried a lot of cream Earl Greys over the years, and this is the first one where the vanilla doesn't overpower the bergamot. The balance is spot on, making it silky smooth even without milk. It's definitely earned its spot as my morning go-to.
