Steeping yields an amber-brown liquor with clarity. Bergamot citrus hits immediately with refreshing brightness. Chrysanthemum florals emerge through the middle, adding sweet floral complexity. The black base provides structure without heavy astringency. Later steeps show more balance as citrus softens and floral notes strengthen. The body remains light to medium with clean finish. The combination creates layered citrus and floral character.

Produced in China using traditional black processing with bergamot oil and chrysanthemum flowers. This variation adds floral depth to standard Earl Grey profiles. Good for drinkers wanting citrus-forward blends with additional floral complexity.
