Murchies Ms. Grey

This is the last of the three teas that Kathy gave me for Christmas: Ms. Grey from Murchies. The website describes it as:
Murchie's Ms Grey is a smooth black blend that is very easy to drink. The bergamot gives light, bright citrus flavour; hints of lemons and oranges, that make us think of a villa in the south of France.

Ms. Grey has the same base blend of teas as Earl Grey (Ceylon, Darjeeling & Himalayan, and Keemun), but about half the bergamot: Darjeeling is an addition to Earl Grey that is fairly unique to Murchie’s, and makes this tea smooth and layered.

As I've written before, I love Earl Grey and all variations thereof - this one is no exception. You can definitely notice the "lack" of bergamot (if you're used to drinking an Earl Grey) but I find this one to be quite nice in its own right. Nothing overpowering, nothing overwhelming, just a hint of the essence of Earl Grey. Very nice and light for an early afternoon tea!
