i am want to become bergamot, imbiber of lumpy green orange
Somehow i never tried earl gray until a couple weeks ago. It tastes like a new color and I'm obsessed. Stash double bergamot isn't enough, it's barely different than bigelow (but it's the best I've found). I want more. I'm a perv for berg.
I want a bergamot tea bag that treats the tea leaves as an afterthought and i haven't found it. I've tried stash, bigelow, walmart, harney and sons, private selection, twinings, and one other british sounding one that I'm forgetting atm. Stash double and bigelow are the best by far but i want like at least quadruple the bergamot flavor. Do i need to buy a vial of bergamot oil and drink it until i cry and realize the error of my ways?
Not having sufficiently bergamot-essenced earl gray is my own afghanistan.
Yeah I think this is just the way to go, eventually with both tea and coffee if you are looking for very specific stuff you gotta move into loose leaf and whole bean stuff, it's just how the business model works, the pre bagged stuff has to appeal to the largest audience of consumers possible.
I wish that didn't make so much sense but alas if i must bag it myself then so be it! I wonder if a spray bottle of bergamot oil and a cheapo go-to like red rose is my actual destiny 🤔
Growing a bergamot tree just so you can have fresh bergamot zest lol
Looking into it
I don't really drink earl grey (earl? sounds like some monarchist bullshit
), but my partner does - I picked up this bagged Ahmad Tea earl grey from a Indo/Pakistani grocery store and she likes it enough to keep on hand at work.
Nice, noted and possibly goated, i'll let ya know if i find it, thanks!
If you're already down the path of hot drink snobbery why not get a nice teapot, a sieve, and maybe a cute cup? The ritual is a big part of the enjoyment, at least for me.
I have these things and i 100% agree😭☺️
it's so much more convenient to throw away a few teabags than it is to rinse out my kyusu though. i want to merge into the bergamatrix from the comfort of my cheapo 32oz filterless target teapot but maybe i must face the reality that this is nothing more than a pipe dream in the anti-bergamot reality of modern day
