“I purchased this blend for the first time recently. I am desperate to find a replacement for Dark Grey tea which has been discontinued. Unfortunately this tasted of nothing in particular, bland and insipid”
“My husband and I both are confirmed "Earl Grey" drinkers. So, it greatly disappointed us that "The Earl Afternoon" tasted like grass. We could literally detect no bergamot or lemon flavors, only intense grassy-ness. We purchased this box with the intent to try a new Earl blend that was not available over here in the US. I have made cups for several of my friends with the hopes that I could give the box to one of them. Bottom line is that I cannot even give this away.”
“For a number of years you supplied us with 'The Earl' in the blue sachets that were extremely good. This is the second or third delivery of the replacement tea in the pink and yellow sachets. Unfortunately having purchased thirty boxes on this occasion we have to advise you that they are completely tasteless. We may as well be drinking hot water. what a shame”

“I bought a bulk supply of The Earl teabags - 7 boxes thinking I was buying my adored tea that I used to buy. However, not only has the packaging changed from blue to pink, the taste has changed to some vile overly black tea flavour with none of the zesty bergamot and citrus able to come through the extra strong black tea. Just so sad and now I am landed with 7 boxes of the foul stuff and no tea to drink anymore as the Earl was the only tea I liked. Very disappointed and annoyed.”
