Stash Double Bergamot Earl Grey Black Tea

This is a double bergamot Earl Grey, which means it packs significantly more of that citrusy, aromatic bergamot punch than your standard Earl Grey. Tea drinkers consistently mention the 'strong bergamot flavor' and 'rich double bergamot' notes that set it apart. If you've found regular Earl Grey a bit timid, this delivers the bold bergamot experience you're looking for.

Interesting question, because most reviewers actually praise it for being bold without crossing into bitterness. The majority describe it as 'mild' and 'not bitter' despite the double bergamot intensity. That said, one reviewer did find it strong for their taste, so if you're extremely sensitive to bold flavors, you might want to start with a shorter steep time. The good news is it's forgiving—works beautifully plain or with cream.

Absolutely. Despite being 'double bergamot,' multiple reviewers mention it's actually quite approachable. It's described as 'mild and enjoyable without additions' with a 'consistent flavor' that's easy to brew with tea bags. The fact that it works well both plain and with cream makes it forgiving while you figure out your preferences. Plus, the strong bergamot character means you'll immediately understand what makes Earl Grey special.

If you're already a fan of Earl Grey, the value here is solid. Multiple reviewers specifically call out the 'good value/price compared to retail' for getting six boxes at once. One reviewer mentioned it's 'the right strength for multiple cups,' and several talk about repeat purchases—one even called the flavor 'addicting.' Just be aware some find Stash pricier than grocery store brands, but you're paying for that intense double bergamot quality and Non-GMO verification.

Think of classic Earl Grey's gentle citrus whisper turned up to a confident voice. The bergamot—a citrusy, slightly floral note—comes through as the star here, layered over a solid black tea base. Reviewers describe it as 'bold bergamot' with 'rich, nuanced notes' and a 'pleasant aroma' that fills the cup. It's complex enough that enthusiasts appreciate the depth, but straightforward enough that the flavor profile is immediately recognizable and enjoyable.

It's totally your call. Reviewers mention it 'works well with or without cream' and is 'enjoyable plain,' so it's genuinely versatile. The strong bergamot flavor means it holds up beautifully if you want to add milk or sweetener, but it's also satisfying enough to drink straight. Start plain to experience that double bergamot intensity, then customize from there based on your mood.
