This was admittedly the first earl grey I've ever tried, and it's probably not helping that it's decaf, but this was disgusting. It was shockingly bitter, and I only steeped for 3 minutes. Even after adding milk and then in desperation, throwing in a spoonful of sugar, I still couldn't manage to finish my cup. I'm scared to try again with this or my other earl grey sample, but maybe I'm just not one for citrusy black tea.

This was certainly underwhelming. I had received a sample of this and I had expected it to taste pretty close to earl grey bravo, which I love and drink regularly, but this just felt like a weak and somewhat run down version. lso, this seemed to have a little less citrus flavor than I am accustomed to tasting in an earl grey tea.

Great Earl Grey flavor, and I can have several cups without ending up twitching from too much caffeine. AWESOME.
★★★☆☆
Earl Grey is one of my favorites, and this is a fine tea. I am just not a fan of decaf teas, so it was just OK for me.
★★★★★
Huge EG fan, and just had to have decaf. This is the perfect blend of bergamot and Ceylon that allows the flavors to coalesce without being overbearing. Only took 1.5 teaspoons to make a full-bodied 12 oz. cuppa, and I re-steeped, too!

This was a wonderful tea, I really enjoyed it. It was my first earl grey tea, and was excited to see a decaf option, as I usually drink my tea in the evenings. Very good!
★★★★★
This is by far the best decaf earl grey I have ever had!!
★★★★☆
I enjoyed this tea, but I think I prefer the fully caffinated version better. I love this tea all around though!
★★★★★
i love earl grey, but have this bad habit of craving it at night so the decaf is the perfect solution for me. This was very good!
★★★★★
Best decaf earl grey I've ever had. Lots of bergamot flavor. I love it iced, with a slice of lemon.
★★★★★
Perfect. Decaffeination often does weird things to flavors, but this decaf earl grey just tastes like a great cup of earl grey. Awesome.
★★★★★
Typically I think of basic flavors like earl grey as boring, however I really enjoyed this. You can really taste the bergamot flavor and it was so enjoyable it disappeared quickly.
★★★★★
Decaf Earl Grey for me! The timeframe in which I can consume caffeinated beverages is limited to a few hours in the morning, but I love earl grey and was hoping this would stand up to the decaf test and allow me to enjoy it at any time! It's perfectly blended and I can have it before bed and it doesn't keep me up all night!
★★★★★
AWESOME!! The flavor is a perfect Earl Grey. Its smell is a bit over bearing but seems fitting for cold mornings in slippers.
★★★★★
This is just like the caffeinated earl grey. I like it quite a lot. I'll be buying this one again.
★★★★☆
Smells like freakin' fruit loops! Tastes pretty good, lots of flavor and I think its even better on the second steep but that fruit loops smell is just...very, very odd.

I say great because I can't really tell the difference between the decaf and the regular earl grey! Great when you want the earl grey taste without the caffeine.
★★★★★
This decaf version of Earl Grey has all the flavor of the caffeinated version.
★★★☆☆
This tea is okay at night, but a good chamomile is better. This tea is nothing spectacular - not particularly good for a decaf tea, and not particularly good for an Earl Grey. It's good to have as an option for decaf, but I find myself turning to herbal teas much more often than this one.

This was my first time trying earl grey and I was very surprised at the nice taste it had.
★★★★★
This tea is delightful, and a very close match to the Earl Grey Bravo. I am somewhat sensitive to caffeine, so I love having this available to drink any time of the day or night.
★★★★★
A super decaf Earl Grey. Not wimpy at all. Rich and deep flavors without being bitter. I love having a cup in the evening.
★★★★★
I really get cravings to brew tea after 8 o'clock and obviously if I have to go to sleep in a couple hours, I either have to drink decaf or skip the tea.
This is probably my favorite decaf options. It tastes just like regular earl grey bravo and it really settles my cravings for that night time cup of tea.

Tastes just like regular earl grey tea, which is great! Yay decaf teas!
★★★★★
This is great if you are looking for a good cuppa later at night without the caffeine.
★★★★★
Bought (a sample) of this because I needed some tea that wouldn't wind me up at night! I believe I found a perfect kind. Great cup for those late nights when you still want to wind down but you don't want it to interfere with your sleeping.
★★★★★
The flavor is good but I was not happy with the quality of the tealeaves. I am used to getting mostly whole tea leaves from Adagio but this one was very powdery. It could have been just a bad batch so I would still order a refill since I always loved this type of tea and the taste was not dissapointing. Update: the last batches have had better quality tea leaves. Only when I get to the bottom of the bag I get more powdery stuff.
★★★★★
I'm trying to cut caffeine out of my system, so was SO excited to find this tea! I've never had an earl grey tea this exquisite! My 1st order (to try it out) was the 3oz. After that was polished off, my 2nd order included the 16oz. bag.
★★★★★
I love earl grey and was SO excited to see that now I can enjoy the flavor of that great bergamot while also still reaping the benefits of decaf green tea. Great invention! I still drink it the 'English' way - with sugar and lemon. Yum!
★★★☆☆
Definitely not as tasty as regular earl grey, but still smells great and is good iced.
★★★★★
A good decaf earl grey. Some people think a decaf tea is missing some flavor. Not this one for sure. And I still can drink it late at night before I go to bed!
★★★★★
Just like the original earl grey. I love it with some sugar. My favorite morning tea.
★★★★☆
Got this one for my mom's birthday, then tried a cup for myself. Very flavorful, and didn't keep me up all night.

I love this in the evening with a little milk. It has great flavor without the caffeine. Nice balance of flavours.
★★★☆☆
I didn't hate this tea, but I didn't love it either. My husband didn't like this one at all. It felt a little spicy, but it wasn't a yummy spicy. Just kind of a strange taste to me, but this was the first time I've tried earl grey. Maybe the decaf had something to do with it.
★★★★★
this was a gift that was loved. she thinks it was the best earl gray she has ever had.
★★★★★
A wonderful way to relax at the end of the day! Definitely better than old grocery store bagged Earl Grey!

Adagio's Earl Grey is a perfect daily cup, perfect in the morning.
★★★★★
yummmm. Granted, I do not have the regular version side by side, but I cannot tell at all that this is decaf. Lovely flavor! The fragrance is signiture Earl Grey... With a little sweetener and a teaspoon of cream, this was my very satisfactory dessert last night! Most definately will be a staple in my cupboard.
★★★★☆
For those of us who aren't so into caffeine, this is a nice way to get an Earl Grey fix. I think the flavor is a bit too smoky or something, but it is just a bit better than the Earl Grey Green.
★★★★☆
Do not see much of a difference in taste with regular Earl Grey, so really enjoy it in the evening
★★☆☆☆
I got this as a free sample, and have only tried it once - so I can't say much on it... I'll take the caffeine, thanks.

I like Earl Grey in general *like it with lemon and sugar). This was a surprise addition to my order, so kudos to Adagio for getting me an Earl Grey to drink before going to bed.
★★★★★
I really enjoy this earl grey tea. The bergamot flavor is present, but not overly intense and the orange is a very nice addition.
★★★★☆
It is a good tea especially for evening treat, however ii does not have as strong taste of bergamot as earl grey bravo.
★★★☆☆
More mild than I expected. I end up using a fair amount of tea to brew a cup that is strong enough for me. It's still really nice to be able to drink earl grey right before bed though.
★★★★★
I love my tea at night and was having trouble sleeping so I tried decaf. I must say I was pleasantly surprised that this was as good as Earl Grey Bravo.
