Earl Grey descafeinado

I switched to this so I could have a cup after dinner without it keeping me up, and the Ceylon base still tastes like real black tea rather than a watered-down version. The citrus is subtle, not perfumey, which I prefer.

The bergamot comes through beautifully without that harsh caffeine bite, and the Ceylon base gives it a smooth body that holds up well to a splash of milk. I've been brewing it in the late afternoon when I want the ritual but know I'd regret a full-caf cup, and it's become my favorite wind-down stee

I was skeptical decaf would still have that bright, citrusy bergamot kick, but the Ceylon base really carries it beautifully. This is my evening cup now, and I don't miss the caffeine one bit.
