Trifecta Earl Grey Black is a dark-leaf hookah tobacco blend of rich black tea and delicate bergamot.
Flavor build: This shisha flavor starts tea-forward, with a warm black-tea aroma that reads brewed and slightly tannic rather than sweet. Bergamot follows as a bright citrus-oil accent, adding a refined lift that sits high on the palate and lingers into the exhale. Sweetness stays low-to-medium, while tartness is low-to-medium, so the profile feels aromatic and clean instead of punchy or candy-like. The balance is intentionally composed: black tea provides body and depth, bergamot adds a crisp top note, and the finish stays dry and elegant rather than syrupy. As the bowl settles, the tea note becomes more rounded and steady, while bergamot remains the defining highlight that keeps each pull feeling fresh.
Session behavior: Earl Grey Black is designed for dense smoke output with a smooth inhale once it’s fully warmed. It holds its tea-and-bergamot character well through re-heats, especially when you avoid sudden heat spikes that can push the tea note drier. Intensity is medium in flavor presence, with a fuller mouthfeel typical of a dark-leaf hookah mix. The profile stays consistent across longer sessions, with bergamot continuing to read clearly late-session rather than fading into a generic citrus note.
Packing & heat tips: Use a phunnel bowl and aim for a fluffy-to-medium pack to keep airflow open and preserve the bergamot top note. Because it’s a fine-cut dark leaf, distribute it evenly and keep the pack slightly below the rim to reduce harshness from excess top heat. Start at moderate heat, let the bowl ramp gradually, then fine-tune by shifting coals rather than adding more. If the tea starts tasting too dry, pull heat back slightly and increase airflow to bring the bergamot back into a cleaner, brighter finish.
Mixing suggestions:
-
Lemon to brighten the bergamot and push a sharper “citrus tea” angle.
-
Peach to add a soft fruit layer while keeping the tea base obvious.
-
Mint in small amounts to tighten the finish without masking the tea aroma.
-
Vanilla to round the tea edges into a smoother, latte-like impression.
Overall, Trifecta Earl Grey Black hookah tobacco is a refined black tea and bergamot blend with dense smoke, smooth pulls, and stable flavor through re-heats.
