Metropolitan Tea Company Buckingham Palace Garden Party Loose Tea - 100g Discovery Pack

Most Earl Grey teas are heavily scented with oil of bergamot. Unfortunately, that scent has always reminded me of the inhalers my parents made me use a long time ago when I was a child with a stuffy nose. I ordered the Buckingham Palace Earl Grey variety with a bit of trepidation for that reason, but have been pleasantly surprised at the subtelty of this tea. There is virtually no scent of oil of bergamot to send me back to age 10 with a head cold and that is a real plus. It is otherwise a tea with interesting flavour and medium body well suited to afternoons or evenings, but not a breakfast tea to my way of thinking.

My tea arrived and was/is just as wonderful as always! KitchenNiche's customer came through. They told me that they had been having huge computer system issues at the time I was reaching out which is why they didn't respond. Things resolved and my tea arrived and they have been very gracious and helpful. I LOVE their tea and am very happy with the customer service I have received recently.

Let me say that I love KitchenNiche's tea. I have ordered from them many times before. My most recent purchase, over a month ago, is STILL unfulfilled. I never received tracking numbers and I have yet to receive my tea. There are no email addresses or phone number on the website to contact the company - to contact them you have to use their "contact us" form. Well, I've tried that multiple times on 3 different days over the last week and nothing. I really hate to give them 1 star because I like their product, but sheesh, respond to my missing delivery complaint please!
