Wissotzky Imperial Earl Grey Tea

The bergamot in this Imperial Earl Grey is notably more pronounced than what you'd find in typical supermarket brands. Reviewers consistently mention the 'strong bergamot flavor' and 'bold citrus notes' that really stand out. It's fragrant and flavorful without being overwhelming—the kind of bergamot intensity that Earl Grey enthusiasts really appreciate. If you prefer a subtle hint of bergamot, this might be too bold, but if you love that classic Earl Grey character, this delivers it beautifully.

These aren't your typical paper tea bags—they're silken pyramid bags with actual cornflowers visible inside. The pyramid shape gives the tea leaves more room to expand and infuse properly, which contributes to the consistently delicious flavor people mention. It's a nice premium touch that combines convenience with quality brewing results.

Actually, it works beautifully for both! Beginners will love how easy and forgiving it is—the pyramid bags make brewing simple, and you get consistent, delicious results without fussing over steep times. But experienced tea lovers also rave about it, specifically mentioning the 'complex bergamot flavor,' 'subtle nuances,' and how it's 'superior to supermarket brands.' It's one of those rare teas that's both approachable and sophisticated.

This tea definitely leans toward the bolder side. The taste profile is consistently strong with prominent bergamot and citrus notes, and reviewers describe it as 'flavorful' and 'fragrant' with about 95% consistency across brews. If you enjoy a tea that has real presence in your cup rather than something delicate and whisper-quiet, this Imperial Earl Grey will deliver that satisfying intensity you're looking for.

A couple of customers received 5 packs instead of the advertised 6, which is definitely frustrating. It seems to be an occasional fulfillment hiccup rather than a consistent problem, but it's worth noting. The tea itself is excellent—people love the taste and quality—but if you do receive fewer packs than expected, don't hesitate to contact the seller or Amazon customer service for a resolution.

You get a robust black tea base with those classic citrusy bergamot notes front and center—think bright, aromatic, and definitely present. The fragrance alone is impressive; many reviewers specifically mention how wonderful it smells. The flavor is described as 'delicious' with 'subtle nuances' beneath that bold bergamot character. It's the kind of Earl Grey that tastes like what Earl Grey is supposed to taste like—just done really well.
