Thé Mélange Russe

The average rating for this product is 4.5 out of 5 stars 13 Reviews
This naturally flavored selection is the perfect balance of bergamot, stone fruit and black tea flavor with a dollop of vanilla sweetness. Light hints of bergamot and a whisper of anise complement the distinctly sweet aroma. The cup is medium-bodied with a smooth creamy mouth feel and lingering finish.

A Symphony of Flavors and Aroma!
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars

THÉ MÉLANGE RUSSE is like a tea party in a cup! The dance of bergamot, stone fruit, and black tea creates a fancy flavor balance that's as comforting as a warm hug from grandma. And when the subtle hints of vanilla sweetness and anise sneak in, it's like getting a surprise visit from your favorite dessert and a mysterious stranger at the same time. The aroma is so captivating, with sweet notes of bergamot and just a hint of anise that'll make you feel like you're walking through a fragrant garden while wearing a top hat. The medium-bodied cup feels as smooth as silk pajamas and has a finish that lingers on your tongue like the memory of your first kiss. It's no wonder that it has become my most memorable; it's like having a VIP pass to flavor town. This tea is so indulgent from the first sip to the last, it's practically rolling out the red carpet for your taste buds!

An excellent Russian Caravan style tea
This shopper rated the product 4 out of 5 stars

Deep and dark, but not at all bitter. It was a great late evening relaxing cup for those who like really dark sturdy teas. I found a small demi-spoon of sugar helped.

Really lovely
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars

This is a really lovely cup of tea -- a bit of Earl Grey with lemon and floral tones. I feel like I'm sitting at the edge of a flower garden in summer when I drink it. Delicate but not insipid. St. Issac's is a nice substitute when this is out of stock. Very glad to have found this.

This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars

This ones been my morning go-to for the past several months. Bergamot is just so balanced, hopeful the next season's version is as good as the last. I'll probably run out before it comes in. I've been buying tea from Upton since the early nineties with a few deviations along the way. No other tea importer carries the quality or selection, fair shipping and consistently good service.

This is my favorite kind of Earl Gray tea - I always keep it in stock in my tea drawer at home. It seems to be in short supply, though, and I was sad I could only get a sample this time.
