From the beginning of time Earl Grey has been one of my favorite teas. Like Ol' Reliable. It's become something of a comfort food. I've tried Earl Grey from countless places and some have a stronger bergamot flavor. I've found Market Spice's to be one of my favorite sources. Does anyone else have a recommendation on where to get the most flavorful Earl Grey?
I've also had Earl Grey rooibos, green and creme- all very good!!
Upton has an "Extra Bergamot Earl Grey" if you are looking for more potency in the bergamot. I got a sample tin of it, and it really is stronger than any other I'd tried.

***This organic blend is earthy & spicy, with a fragrant aroma & smooth flavor to captivate the senses. Naturally sweetened in the Kentucky sunshine & infused with natural energy. Equally delicious when served piping hot or crisply chilled.***
My favourite Earl Grey has got to be a small tin of Cream Earl Grey that I picked up my local tea shop. I had never had Earl Grey tea before then, but I bought the tea after smelling it. It is obscenely romantic and cool smelling, and you can taste the cream in it as you drink it.
While at a friend's house, I served him a cup of Cream Earl Grey, and it completely blew his mind. The next time I went to the tea shop, he came with me, and bought two 100g tins of the tea. I'd like to get him to try some other teas, such as greens and whites, but he loves his Cream Earl Grey so much that he refuses to try anything else.
This is a tea that would truly make Jean Luc Picard proud.

I believe drinking tea makes me a better artist. But hey, I also believe I'm completely sane.

SpecialTeas has very good Earl Grey teas
I can recommend SpecialTeas Earl Grey blends; I very much like their classic, 820 Fine Earl Grey and 826, their lavender version - also known as Lady Earl Grey. Also can recommend the organic Earl Grey (827 Earl Grey Organic).
Haven't tried their cream variety (821 Earl Grey De La Creme) nor the new product, a China Black earl grey (822 Earl Grey Royal), that sounds like a more robust version of the traditional tea.
I go through periods where the bergamot flavor is overwhelming, and then I will try it again maybe 6 months later and I will really enjoy it again. *shrug*

Too much bergamot kills me, I like Harney's EG supreme, nice and tippy.
“Take some more tea,” the March Hare said to Alice, very earnestly.
“I’ve had nothing yet,” Alice replied in an offended tone: “so I ca’n’t take more.”
“You mean you ca’n’t take less,” said the Hatter: “it’s very easy to take more than nothing.”
