I wonder if the small one is just like a more concentrated version of the others. All the goodness squished up.

^I remember we used to have Early Grey in the house sometimes. Not really my cup of tea, (excuse the bad pun :P) It has quite a mild flavour I think, whereas I like a good strong builder's cup of tea!

Earl Grey Tea is a black tea flavoured with bergamot oil [more-or-less].

Bergamot is a citrus fruit.

I prefer green teas!

Sorta. A lot of people don't even notice. To me, I notice it more in the aromatics than the flavour itself.

in Canada we don't sell any tea that is just "tea". it's either Orange Pekoe or English Breakfast or Earl Grey, for example. though we do have a brand called Typhoo that promotes itself as an authentic English tea.
