Currants and cream with a twist of bergamot, a modern take on the timeless Earl Grey.
Royal Grey is a simple, sophisticated blend that doesn’t require flowers to draw you in. The aroma of sugared berries entices, tasting of black currants and cream before trailing into the familiar citrusy bergamot. Not a heavy tea and it makes a great afternoon brew and feels instantly timeless. Served in dainty China or favourite mug, with a good book or friends.
It smells of berries and sugar, like sugared fruit. The taste is fruit-forward, juicy black currant hitting first, followed by citrusy bergamot that lingers and grounds the blend; vanilla smooths it out with a comforting creamy note.
