Creamy Earl Grey Black Tea

Tasting Notes: Bold, Silky, Citrus, Crème Fraiche

Earl Grey is among the most popular teas in the Western world, especially among the Brits. The boldness of the black tea combined with the fruity rich flavor of bergamot is what makes the Earl Grey tea a widespread favorite. With our Creamy Earl Grey, we start with a combination of Ceylon (Sri Lanka) and Chinese Yunnan black tea. We add a bit of vanilla that compliments the bergamot and throw in some blue cornflowers making for a creamy, citrusy, and slightly floral cup. It’s a tip of the hat to the traditional taste of Earl Grey.

Savoring the Experience:

If we’re talking in the traditional sense Earl Grey has long been enjoyed with lemon and a bit of sugar. Some people enjoy their Earl Grey with a bit of milk, but with the creaminess of this blend, we recommend you leave it be. Milk tends to overpower the delicate nuanced flavors of the infusion.

Fun Facts:

An earl is a British nobleman and Charles Grey, the second earl of the Grey family and eventual Prime Minister, is known for having the Earl Grey tea named after him. While there is speculation, no one really knows why he gets the credit for the recipe. According to the Grey family, bergamot was added to the tea to offset the limescale prevalent in water in that region.
