What ingredients are used in this Earl Grey blend?

This version of the classic tea is crafted using a harmonious blend of premium black teas from India and China. It is finished with pure, natural oil of bergamot (sourced from ripe bergamot oranges) rather than artificial flavorings, creating a bold yet smooth citrus profile that doesn't overwhelm the senses.

How should Earl Grey tea be brewed for the best taste?

Start with fresh, filtered water brought to a rolling boil (212°F / 100°C). Steep one sachet or teaspoon of loose leaf for 3 to 5 minutes. A shorter steep preserves the delicate citrus aromas, while a longer steep intensifies the bold black tea flavor. It can be enjoyed plain, with a slice of lemon, or with a splash of milk and honey.

What is the history behind the name "Earl Grey"?

This famous blend was originally created in the 19th century in honor of Charles Grey, a prominent British Prime Minister. Since then, the blend has become synonymous with British culture and hospitality, offering a timeless taste of tradition and sophistication.
