The apricot pieces make this one stand out from plain Earl Grey — the fruit softens the bergamot just enough without making it sweet. Steeped about three minutes and it came out smooth, no bitterness at all.

The apricot pieces are what make this one different — they soften the bergamot so it doesn't come across sharp like most Earl Greys I've tried. The Assam base is sturdy enough that it doesn't go bitter if I forget and leave the bag in a minute too long.

The bergamot hits first and then you get the apricot, it actually tastes like real fruit instead of candy flavoring. Assam base keeps it from being too light. The tin it came in is sturdy enough that I'm keeping it for loose leaf refills.
