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.
Take the plunge for drinking loose leaf tea! You'll get a much more flavorful cup for the same price! You don't even need special equipment, though it can be nice to have a good filter. You can just use a steel mesh strainer that has double duty in the kitchen, brewing in one cup and pouring through the strainer into the other.
The bergamot flavor will often be stronger in a loose leaf as, among other things, they're usually fresher. But as an added bonus, you can buy your own dried bergamot to make your own as citrusy as you'd like with a black breakfast tea.
i am rapidly approaching the conclusion that i've already exhausted the frankly pathetic best of what the frankly pathetic bagged-world has to offer and i have begun the process of reallocating all system resources to loose-leaf
