Now... all we need to do is wean you away from those added flower flavors! While I realize that it is perhaps the second most popular tea, I don't understand how ANYONE can drink Earl Grey!

Earl Grey's citrusy rather than floral - the taste comes from bergamot oil, which is extracted from the rind of bergamots (the citrus fruit, not the garden flower!)
I used to really like Earl Grey. These days, I still like the smell (I adore bergamot), but not the taste.
