Earl Grey tea for two.
I was a bit skeptical of this particular Earl Grey because it mixes black and oolong teas together, and I'm generally skeptical of mixing types since they brew so differently. But this is Formosa Oolong, which is pretty flexible, and mostly just adds a woodsy, warm, barky type note to the more tannic sharpness of the Indian black tea. The bergamot itself is pretty soft. A very balanced, relaxed Earl Grey.
I got these little ceramic pots with nice soft seals for Christmas and I'm using them to keep my standby teas in, the ones I always like to have around (Earl Grey, Lapsang Souchong, and Jasmine Pearls). All ones that are a pleasure to open and immediately be overwhelmed with their smells.
