There are big differences between Earl Grey blends. Some are rather dull and plain, others are so strong they're nearly impossible to drink. Me, I like it strong with a nice flowery smell. I love the Bergamot oil - a bit like lavender. Earl Grey is one of those blands that you either love or hate, there's no middle ground.
I usually swap it out with some Pear-Blackberry or zoethout - I don't know what it's called in English, I doubt you have it. It's made from the roots of the Glycyrrhiza glabra plant.
