R.C. Bigelow, Inc. was begun in 1945 by Ruth Campbell Bigelow, a tea connoisseur who wanted to offer even more taste opportunities to American tea drinkers. Among the teas that Bigelow presents is their wonderful Earl Grey tea, a smooth and aromatic blend of black tea and oil of bergamot (a small acidic orange).

Overall, I found this to be a very good hot tea. It has a wonderful aroma, that reaches out and lovingly caresses your nose, and that great Earl Grey taste. So, if you want a great black tea, one that tastes good at any time of the day or night, then get Bigelow's Earl Grey.

Star Trek: The Next Generation's Jean-Luc Picard is a private man, but one thing fans know about this French Starfleet captain with a British accent is his love for Earl Grey Tea. It would be especially cool if we had our own replicator that would spit this out perfect, as-is without having to fudge with a bag, a string and a packet of sugar, but such is life in the early 21st century.

Earl Grey is a smooth tea, it doesn't have the dry, almost bitter flavor of "regular" hot teas. Not too flavorful, but just a smooth herbal, yet mild flavor. Smooth, classy and the choice tea of the captain of the Starship Enterprise.

This is a favorite tea of mine. I enjoy the tea on its own. Yet, it is a mild tea to enjoy with desserts.
