A perfect take on the absolute classic, this black tea sourced from Ethical Tea Partnership tea plantations in central Sri Lanka is the perfect start for a relaxing afternoon. Hand blended and packed by our Tea Enthusiast team in County Durham, UK, this blend uses the finest organic bergamot oil from Italy which gives a beautiful citrusy taste. The bergamot orange is a type of aromatic citrus fruit that is usually grown in the Mediterranean. Bergamot oil is extracted from the skin of the bergamot fruit, we have been sourcing ours from the same farm for over a decade.
We also add blue cornflower petals for a floral hint. Pairs well with savoury foods and sweets, especially scones and biscuits! Vegan, Gluten-free, Dairy free and sugar-free this tea can be enjoyed without milk and sugar, or with your favourite additions.
Earl Grey tea is the most British of drinks. So much so that its alleged namesake is the British Prime Minister of the time. There are several apocryphal tales as to how and why Earl Grey came to be named after a British Prime Minister, was it in thanks for removing the monopoly of the East India Company on importing tea from China? The mystery surrounding the origin of this tea only adds to its allure.
Earl Grey can also be used in baking and cooking. See our BLOG for more ideas - just click here. We also have several other versions of this tea including Cream, Rose, Duchess (like lady), Lavender, Rooibos and Decaf.
Serving Suggestion
Carol enjoys hers with a spot of milk, Liza likes a sliver of lemon. For iced drinks either cold brew overnight or brew as for hot but use more tea leaves to make a more intense flavour.

Discovered this tea at Samual James Deli Cafe in Middleton in Teesdale. Enjoyed it so much we ordered a supply direct from the company. Absolutely love it. Haven’t tried the Greys Monument yet but looking forward to that one too!
