## Summary

A lighter Earl Grey on a muscatel Darjeeling base: brewed short, best without milk, with the bergamot and delicate fruit kept intact.

## Description

This is a more refined take on Earl Grey: a light, muscatel Darjeeling sits under the bergamot in place of a heavy black base, so it drinks best without milk and wants a short steep to hold onto both the bergamot lift and the Darjeeling fruit.
