Blend No. 55
Ceylon & Assam Black
Teas & Natural Essence of Bergamot
A flavor somewhat superior to traditional Earl Grey.
Fragrant Ceylon Dimbulla and Uva are artfully combined with select
teas from India's Assam valley, then scented with the essence of
bergamot form the realm of Reggio Calabria, Italy.
This small batch of tea was personally crafted for you by
Steven Smith, teamaker. To fashion a true Lord Bergamot, one
begins with a higher class of Ceylons and Assams than used in
traditional Earl Grey formulas. To these we add the perfume
of oils squeezed from thick-skinned bergamot, a citrus fruit grown
on small family plots in southern Italy. It's a process
similar to pressing olives. We know the Earl would be
envious.
