Wissotzky Imperial Earl Grey Tea

The bergamot is notably bolder and more pronounced than what you'd find in supermarket Earl Grey teas. Multiple reviewers specifically praised the 'strong bergamot flavor' as a standout feature. If you love that distinctive citrusy Earl Grey character, this delivers it in spades—it's not a subtle, background note but a starring flavor.

They're actually functional, not just aesthetic. The silken pyramid bags give the tea leaves more room to expand and unfurl compared to flat bags, which helps with flavor extraction. Plus, they include cornflower petals inside, which adds a subtle floral complexity and makes brewing feel a bit more special. Reviewers found them convenient while still delivering premium taste.

This Earl Grey is excellent black—no additives needed. One reviewer specifically mentioned it's 'good for drinking black,' and the bold bergamot and fragrant aroma shine through on their own. That said, it's versatile enough that you could add milk or sweetener if that's your preference, but it's designed to be flavorful enough to stand alone.

It works for both beginners and enthusiasts, actually. The pyramid bags make brewing foolproof—you get consistent results without fussing over steeping times or temperatures. However, if you're completely new to Earl Grey and unsure about bergamot, just know this version is on the bolder side. It's a great way to discover what quality Earl Grey tastes like, but it's not a 'mild introduction' to the style.

A couple of reviewers mentioned receiving 5 boxes when the listing advertised a 6-pack. It seems like there may have been packaging inconsistencies or listing errors on some orders. Worth double-checking the current listing details and seller reviews before purchasing, or reaching out to the seller if you receive fewer boxes than expected.

The fragrance is a preview of what you'll taste—bold and bergamot-forward. Reviewers consistently described it as 'fragrant' and praised both the aroma and the flavor in the same breath. If you open the box and love what you smell, you'll likely love what you taste. The cornflower adds a subtle visual and aromatic touch that complements the bergamot beautifully.
