It is to the 2nd Earl Grey, British Prime Minister in the 1830‘s that we owe thanks for this classic black tea. Earl Grey is one of the most famous tea blends – Sri Lankan Uva black tea flavoured with natural Bergamot, the oil from a vibrant citrus tree. The good Earl apparently fell in love with it after receiving a gift from a Chinese diplomat. Our Earl Grey adds an extra citrus twist from Lemon peel and a touch of colour from beautiful cornflowers.

Serving tips:
Take four minutes of time to achieve perfection. Use one teaspoon per person and add freshly drawn boiling water. Enjoy with milk or black with a slice of lemon.

Style: mid-strength black tea flavoured with bergamot
Enjoy it: with smoked salmon and cucumber sandwiches, spiced lemon cake
