Elderflower Earl Grey Tea

The floral notes from the elderflower really shine through alongside the citrus, making this a much smoother Earl Grey than the usual ones I grab. I’ve been brewing it every afternoon this week, and the black tea base holds up nicely without turning bitter even if I forget to take the bag out.

The dry leaves smell incredible even before brewing, and the floral elderflower comes through just as strongly as the citrus once it steeps. My afternoon cup has become a ritual this week, and it’s smooth enough to drink without sugar.

The bergamot and elderflower balance each other perfectly—neither one overpowers the other, and the black tea base stays smooth right to the last sip. I’ve been brewing it every afternoon for a week now, and the floral note lingers just enough to make it feel special.
