The Lord Bergamot blend from Smith Teamaker, is a symphony for your tastebuds. The delicate blend of Ceylon and Assam black tea from India and the aromatic Bergamot harvested from Reggio Calabria, Italy is enchanting. The tea needs no enhancements (sugar or honey) but if you like to sweeten your tea just a touch, I would suggest adding a teaspoon of lavender honey.
Each box of Lord Bergamot No. 55 contains 15 silken sachets and it’s recommended to steep your sachet for at least 5 minutes before enjoying. I prepared my tea in another measuring cup and allowed it to steep before pouring it into my Smith Teamaker teapot (which added yet another special touch to my afternoon tea time.) The teapot features a silver strainer that perfectly captures any tea leaves that might escape. It’s also ideal for using loose tea leaves as well.
Add your pastry (Madelines are my current favorite) and you’re ready for an elegant afternoon tea.
Can’t wait to try! Lovely post!!!
