Earl Grey reformulated by Twinings in 1994 for people who found the original too aggressive. Bergamot held back, lemon and orange peel brought forward. Softer. More floral. Still finds your morning.
Earl Grey, softened. Easier to live with. It earned its spot in our lineup by solving the stage it's supposed to solve — without pretending to solve every stage after it.
