First impression on the smell of the dry tea leaves is, what a weird strong smell. After tasting it, the smell and taste gave me goose bumps. I tried to finish my glass, but just couldn't... it tasted very alien.

I always liked citrus fruits and bergamot is citrus...no surprise Earl Grey ended being one of my favourites when I first started getting into tea and I was drinking a lot of flavoured stuff.
I´d never considered putting milk or sugar in earl grey...milk and citrus just seems weird to me and adding sugar to citrus just kinda masks the bitter/sourness of it which is the whole point of citrus to begin with right?
but then that´s just my personal taste.
I´d say give it another try and keep in your mind that the idea is it´s flavoured with citrus oil...so it´s got the flavour/aroma of lemon or grapefruit peel...it won´t be so alien then.
