Product Information

If you’re making a mug of loose-leaf Earl Grey tea or using an Earl Grey teabag, follow these steps for a delicious cuppa every time:

From its introduction onto the British market in the mid-19th century, Earl Grey has been linked with afternoon teas and polite society. Much loved for its heady aromatics of citrus-tinged with spice, it hasn't been out of style since – as likely these days to be found in your kitchen caddy as on a hotel tea room menu. Most deliverieswill be made within the usual time-frame, but some areas and services may experience delays. This tea was super budget friendly, but the affordabilty doesn’t mean it skimps on flavor. It’s bright, bold, and the perfect tea to sip on all afternoon. The extra bergamot really stands out, and while I was worried it might be too tart, it was incredibly balanced. I tried a few of their other flavors too, but the double bergamot was just so good. 9.

Soothing yet uplifting, it is one of our customers' highest-rated teas. What is without a doubt is how popular Earl Grey tea has become the world over. Today, Earl Grey is usually made by tea companies from Ceylonor Assam teas, or a blend of both, combined with bergamot orange. However, various regions and companies have created their own versions of the blend down the years – the most famous spin-off being Lady Grey, or Mary Grey in our case. Earl Grey was invented in China but it was popularised by the British. Early Chinese masters were always experimenting with ways to make teas more exotic and flavoursome, and it’s believed that Earl Grey was created as a gift for Charles Grey, the 2 nd Earl of Grey and Prime Minister of the UK in the 1830s.

The amount of time you brew your Earl Grey is another important factor. Think about the prep time, how well the vessel retains heat, and how strong you like your cup of Earl Grey. Brewing Method This was so fragrant that I could smell the flowers wafting toward me the minute I opened the box. And taste-wise, it was like an explosion of flavor: slightly tart with floral notes and a lingering taste of vanilla. If you like your tea sweet, this one will satisfy you without any added sugar. It was a bit too intense for me, though. 11. Twinings: Earl Grey I really liked this tea — it smelled like warm honey mixed with a hint of vanilla. The quality of the tea was strong and the flavor was lovely — a little bitterness balanced with floral sweetness. However, the bergamot oil gets a little lost here. If I were craving Earl Grey, it probably wouldn’t be my first choice. 8. Stash Tea: Double Bergamot Earl Grey What is bergamot? Bergamot is a small citrus tree, probably a hybrid of sweet lime and bitter orange and grown commercially in Calabria, Italy. The flavour is delightfully citrussy and possesses known health benefits due to the high presence of flavonoids, which are thought to help lower inflammation and aid digestion.
