Adding a squeeze of yuzu for a light and citrusy redux of the classic Earl Grey. Native to east Asia, yuzu is often described as tasting like a cross between a mandarin orange and a grapefruit. We think this is an apt description. Bright and flavourful, it balances masterfully with bergamot and lemon, leaving you with a refreshing tea (hot or iced!) that’s modern and new but still unmistakably an Earl Grey. This one’s sure to be a classic.
The flavours dominate but don’t overpower the tea, and the Darjeeling and Ceylon come through fresh and a bit biscuity. Medium-bodied, brisk, with top notes of bright mandarin, sweet orange and grapefruit, and an aftertaste of bergamot. This tea is even more citrusy as it cools, making a very refreshing iced tea.
Ingredients: Black tea (Keemun, Darjeeling, Nepal, Ceylon), calendula petals, orange peel, natural and artificial flavouring, bergamot oil.
