The classic, done properly. A full-bodied black tea scented with oil of bergamot — that bright, citrusy aroma that makes Earl Grey unmistakable — for a cup that's smooth, fragrant, and just sharp enough at the edges. Lovely straight, softer with a splash of milk, and the one to reach for when afternoon needs rescuing.
