Bold, citrusy, and unmistakably elegant, Earl Grey Tea is a premium organic loose-leaf black tea blend crafted from carefully selected black teas and infused with fragrant bergamot oil. This timeless classic has delighted tea lovers for generations with its distinctive balance of rich black tea character and bright citrus aromatics.
Steeping to a deep amber cup, Earl Grey opens with vibrant notes of bergamot—a fragrant Mediterranean citrus fruit prized for its refreshing aroma and complex flavor. Beneath the citrus lies a full-bodied black tea foundation that provides depth, structure, and a smooth finish. Delicate floral undertones weave throughout the cup, creating a refined and remarkably balanced tea experience.
Named after Charles Grey, the British Prime Minister who helped popularize the blend in the 19th century, Earl Grey remains one of the world's most beloved flavored teas. Whether enjoyed during an afternoon tea ritual, as a morning pick-me-up, or throughout the day, this versatile tea delivers a sophisticated cup that is both invigorating and comforting.
Exceptional hot or iced, Earl Grey is equally satisfying served plain or with a splash of milk, making it a staple for tea enthusiasts seeking a classic blend with enduring appeal.
