Why do we love this tea?
There’s something undeniably timeless about Earl Grey. The boldness of black tea is beautifully balanced by the floral, citrusy brightness of bergamot, creating a cup that feels both soothing and invigorating. Whether enjoyed plain, with a slice of lemon, or a splash of milk, it’s a staple for good reason.
Did you know?
Earl Grey tea is named after Charles Grey, a 19th-century British Prime Minister. According to legend, he received the bergamot-scented tea as a diplomatic gift—and the rest is tea history! Today, it remains one of the most iconic and best-loved blends in the world.
Enjoy it Hot or Iced!
The quality of water used has an impact on the quality of the tea. Always use freshly drawn water or filtered water.
Heat fresh water to a rolling boil or to a temperature of 212F using an electric hot water heater or a stove top kettle.
Use the infuser of your choice. Measure 1 teaspoon of tea per person. For a stronger brew preference, add an additional teaspoon for the pot.
Once the water reaches the appropriate temperature, it should be poured immediately over the tea leaves. Keep the teapot covered to retain heat. Time steeping carefully and infuse for 5-7 minutes. When the tea is done steeping, immediately remove the tea and lightly stir.
This black tea has more caffeine than teas in our green tea range. It's important to keep in mind that brew time accounts for the primary influence over a tea's caffeine content.
