Alright, so the other day I was at the grocery store, just doing my usual weekly shopping. You know how it is, trying to find something a little different to spice things up. Well, I stumbled upon this Bigelow Black Tea Earl Grey, and let me tell you, it’s been a game-changer for my morning routine.

First off, I grabbed a box from the shelf. Honestly, I’ve tried a bunch of different black teas before, you name it – Tetley, PG Tips, you get the idea, even some fancier ones like Harney & Sons. But this one caught my eye because it was Earl Grey, and I’ve always been curious about that bergamot flavor.

When I got home, I ripped open the box and brewed a cup right away. I boiled some water in my old kettle and then put it into my cup. The tea bag itself looked pretty standard, I mean, these were not loose tea type. You can see that the leaves are way bigger than other brands, that is kind of cool. I let it steep for a good few minutes, just like it said on the box, to get that full flavor.

• First thing I noticed? The smell.
• It was way stronger than the regular black teas I was used to.
• Kind of citrusy, but also kind of floral.

I took a sip, and whoa, it was definitely different. That bergamot really comes through. It’s like, a little bit bitter, but also refreshing at the same time. And it gives you this little energy boost, which is perfect for the mornings. It’s probably because of that bergamot oil, which helps to absorb the caffeine better, as I read online. They also said it’s good for heart health, nice!

Now, every morning, I start my day with a cup of this Bigelow Earl Grey. It’s become my go-to. I even tried it with a splash of milk and a little sugar, and that’s pretty good too. It really just depends on my mood. I used to have a Bigelow green tea but I didn’t enjoy it very much. This black tea is definitely more my thing.

Overall, highly recommended.

If you’re looking for a black tea that’s a little bit out of the ordinary, give this one a try. You might just find your new favorite morning drink, like I did!
