A traditional Earl Grey (sometimes written as Earl Gray). A handcrafted black, loose leaf tea, with pure bergamot oil from ancient citrus groves in Calabria, southern Italy.
Free from synthetic flavourings.
Full-bodied and rich with heady citrus notes. A British classic made without compromise.
Tasting Notes
A clean and exceptionally bright infusion. A malty base with exhilarating citrus notes. It can be enjoyed with or without milk, or a twist of lemon zest.
Spectacularly balanced and highly versatile; it makes a delicious cold infused iced tea and a brilliant base for cocktails.

Question: What should be considered a true Earl Grey? Black tea as base with bergamot oil only harvested in Calabria? What then of the bergamot harvested in other areas? Or ones made with other bases like rooibos. A ponder.
Originally, I bought this for my mother-in-law. But after realizing she still has tea I bought her from last year I decided to keep it at my house. I know that sounds bad but I also don’t want it to be wasted…. I would love to see them drinking more tea and getting off those awful diet sodas.
Dry Leaf Appearance: Broken, uniform leaf. Dark brown.
Dry Leaf Aroma: Lovely bergamot. Filling my every nostril. It is a mix of camphor and citrus.
Flavor: I’m at a lil loss for words. It is good but not quite what I was expecting. Or maybe it is my palate. I just don’t tend to fancy citrus and tea. There is something metallic about it. Not terribly noticeable but enough in the aftertaste that I don’t think I would purchase this again. Granted I tend towards pure tea. I may not the best one to review a flavored tea. The base is woody and slightly sweet.
I love a good Earl Grey, so I was excited to see this one in my Rare Tea Company sampler. The leaf is very finely chopped, almost like a CTC tea and has a strong aroma of bergamot. It steeps up strong and hearty with a sharp bergamot flavor; a bit too aggressive on its own, but lovely with milk. It’s not the best Earl Grey I’ve ever had and I’m not sure its worth the premium price tag, but I’ll certainly finish and enjoy the 2oz I have!
Flavors: Bergamot
You can lead a horse to good tea, but you can’t make them drink it over diet soda.
