Few teas have captured the hearts of tea lovers quite like Earl Grey - a bold, fragrant, and refreshingly citrusy blend that has stood the test of time. Named after Charles Grey, the 2nd Earl Grey, a British Prime Minister of the early 19th century, this legendary tea is surrounded by mystery and folklore. Some say a Chinese Mandarin gifted the blend to a British diplomat, who then presented it to Earl Grey. Others believe it was specially crafted by a London tea merchant to balance the mineral - rich waters at the Earl’s estate. Whatever the truth, one thing is certain - this tea has become a British icon.
What makes our Earl Grey special?
Unlike many mass-produced blends, we source only the finest high-grown teas from Sri Lanka’s renowned tea regions—Nuwara Eliya, Dimbula, and Uva. These regions produce brisk, floral, and bright Ceylon teas with a smooth yet lively character, making them the perfect foundation for our Earl Grey. Each region experiences peak harvests at different times of the year, allowing us to select only the freshest, highest-quality leaves year-round. Our manufacture type is the traditional leafy orthodox way to retain a cup full of goodness.
These bright, floral, and full-bodied teas provide the perfect base for the smooth yet vibrant citrus notes that define Earl Grey.
To preserve the purity and elegance of this classic blend, we use natural bergamot oil instead of artificial flavourings. Unlike synthetic additives, natural oils provide a delicate, well-balanced aroma that enhances, rather than overpowers, the tea’s rich and floral notes. The result? A cup that is smooth, aromatic, and refreshingly bold, with no artificial aftertaste—just the clean, authentic taste of premium Ceylon tea.
Energising yet smooth, Earl Grey is the perfect tea to start your morning or brighten your afternoon. Enjoy it black for a crisp, invigorating experience, add a splash of milk for a creamy, comforting cup, or indulge in a London Fog latte with steamed milk and vanilla. However you drink it, this tea is a true classic that never fails to delight.
