One of our best selling Earl Grey teas and rightly so, our superior blend of elegant Yunnan and spicy Ceylon black teas is infused with natural bergamot oil.  Full of good taste in every sense.

The leaves brew to gently citrus perfumed deep red-brown liquor.  Perfectly balanced flavours of lemon, malt and a touch earthiness dance upon the tongue followed by a refreshing finish.

There are many claims to the origin of the famous Earl Grey tea.  Our favourite story is that Earl Grey tea was named after Charles Grey, the 19th-century British Prime Minister, who received a bergamot-infused tea from a grateful Chinese mandarin.   The fact that bergamot was unknown in China at the time is overlooked!

Earl Grey's blend is now famous worldwide as one of Britain's most popular blends.

Enjoy with milk, plain or with a slice of lemon to enhance the experience.

Region & Growing Info

China & Sri Lanka

This blended tea is from both China and Sri Lanka.

China produces a diverse range of tea, with delicately, floral white teas from the hilltops of Yunnan to clean, alluring green teas, before moving to bold, dark teas such as earthy, decadent Pu-Erh.  There is indeed a tea for everyone.  Most tea is grown in the south of China with the climate being favourable for tea plants to mature slowly, growing spectacularly in cooler, higher elevations.

Sri Lanka is home to teas with that of its historical name, Ceylon. Known as the Pearl of the Indian Ocean, the teas tell a wonderful story. Tea gardens in Sri Lanka thrive in their enviably position across high elevations, enjoying bright sunlight in the day and cool temperatures at night. This favourable climate produces several harvests per year.
