Default Soapy flavour in Ahmad Earl Grey?

My current favorite Irish tea is Bewley's Cliiper Gold tea. It is a
blend of Kenyan. It's amazing how stout it taste considering the
origin. It is as red in color as any Yunnan Red which makes it doubly
amazing. I like scented teas but I do it myself with tisanes like
dried flowers and fruits. So does Finland have problems with
elves,ghosts,invisible people,aliens like Iceland? What is a 'cold
winter day' that close to the Artic circle?
