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.
Inside the Smith Sachet
The
shape is not unusual, but the artistry inside is unique. Our roomy,
relaxed fit sachet encourages greater expansion to give you better
flavor. It's also biodegradable. After steeping, you can sashay
straight to the compost heap.
