For the entirety of the month of June, Plum Deluxe is shining a spotlight on Earl Grey: the best of all teas (at least to me). All Earl Grey blends on their site will be available at quantity discounts throughout the month. And if you'd like to see what they have available, they're currently offering a sampler of 11 bergamot-based blends!

I picked up the sampler and tried all 11 varieties—nine of which will be available for a limited time only this month. How do these adventurous blends rank? Read on to find out, and to pick up any that sound good to you!

Note: I do not receive any sort of compensation for purchases made through Plum Deluxe. This is a review based on teas I purchased myself. Enjoy!

Aloha Blend Black Tea: 3.5/5
Also listed as "Pineapple Grey," this one isn't quite as Earl Grey-y as the others. That doesn't stop this from being a refreshing summer tea that would be fantastic iced. But it doesn't quite fit the flavor profile I'd expect while seeking out Earl Grey blends. Is it a good tea? Yes. Is it a good Grey?... others in the box absolutely outshine it.

Caribbean Grey: 4/5
I've had watermelon oolong before and liked it very much, but I wasn't entirely sure I'd enjoy this one. Fortunately, this new blend turned out rather nice. It doesn't suffer from an artificial watermelon candy flavor, but has an undertone of sweet tartness that's very nice for summer. This one would be amazing iced.

Crème Brulée Earl Grey: 4/5
This is a lovely one, and it's what I really wanted the Honey Caramel Grey Black to be in terms of sweetness. A great dessert tea, and one I think would work extremely well as a milk tea. Fortunately, this is one of the two Greys that's available year-round!

Earl Grey Chai: 5/5
I'll be honest, I was legitimately not expecting to enjoy this one. I like chai, I like Earl Grey, but I wasn't sure if two very strong, very specific flavors could go together like that. I was wrong, and I was glad to be wrong. This is really really lovely. It's not a spicy or peppery chai, meaning it blends nicely with the bergamot. This would make an absolutely astounding milk tea.

Earl Grey Royale: 4/5
No muss, no fuss, just straight-up Earl Grey. This is a good way to figure out if Plum Deluxe's take on Earl Grey is right for you. While it's not really as strong as I personally like it (I am a triple bergamot fiend), it is a very nice one. If you like Earl Grey but are averse to the brands that advertise the strength of the bergamot, this will be a nice middle ground for you.

Grantham Grey: 4.5/5
Before trying Plum Deluxe teas, I'd never had violet in tea before. As a big fan of florals, I was not at all disappointed, and I'm still a big fan of it in the Grantham Grey. The bergamot takes a back seat in this one, blending nicely with the violet essence and letting it take center stage. This isn't one for days when you specifically want the citrus tang of bergamot, but it's definitely a delicious one.

Gratitude Earl Grey: 4/5
It's easy to see why this is a mainstay. It's a strong Grey that doesn't skimp on flavor. And while the strawberry is a bit weak until it cools off, it's a nice complement to the bergamot. This is another that's perfect for a milk tea, and might even go well iced.

Honey Caramel Grey: 4/5
This is one of the flavors I was most excited about—I recently had a Bridgerton-themed tea with honey notes and have been seeking out that same flavor ever since. This one is very naturally sweet, which is nice, but it goes over better when it's a little cooler. The rooibos comes on a bit too strong when it's piping hot. Much as with the Grantham Grey, this one isn't as bergamot-forward, with the flavor blending into the other notes.

Lady Grey: 5/5
Lady Grey tends to be an underappreciated take on Earl Grey. It's subtler, but it can still have a lot of flavor and uniqueness. The Plum Deluxe version has vanilla notes, which balances things out nicely. While a lot of the other blends in this sampler have the bergamot as a secondary element, it really stands out here. This is one of the best of the sampler.

Tango Grey Herbal: 3/5
Full disclosure, I'm very picky about herbal teas. This one was fine, generally speaking, but the lemongrass drowned out just about everything. If you aren't very specifically a fan of lemongrass, give this one a miss. It's approaching a nice decaf Grey blend otherwise, though.

Victorian Garden Grey: 4.5/5
This was the first one I tried, despite being the last one on the list (alphabetically, at least)—and it was a strong start. This Grey is primarily about berries and floral, though the floral notes tend to drown out the berry a bit. The scent of the tea is much more balanced. None of this stops the tea from being really great, with a very lavender-forward flavor.
