A new vibrant spin of Earl Grey

Big fan of Earl Grey and this spin on a classic is a big upgrade for me. The flavor is bolder and the tea is strong: just what I'm looking for in my morning cup of tea. This is one of my favorite teas by you!

Great taste!

Earl grey is my favorite and this is a great twist on a classic! I usually like it with milk, but I’ve been enjoying this without!
