Madagascar vanilla beans sweeten this culinary Earl Grey while lending a creamy full body and an exquisite lingering finish.
This tea is blended for dozens of our two- and three-star Michelin restaurant clients in Europe and Asia. The most “sweet” of our Earl Grey collection – perfect as a prelude to dessert.
Our Master Blender has taken a ubiquitous blend and given it a modern, yet oddly familiar, twist resulting in a decadent tea with soothing undertones. The sweetness of the vanilla enhances the smooth flavour of the tealeaves, providing the drinker with a truly comforting cup of tea.
“I love the diversity and the ability the Tealeaves tea blends have to bring a dish or cocktail together – in the back of the house, my pastry team found that the Vanilla Earl Grey and chocolate made a fantastic combination in our signature truffles.” – ICON Brent Martin
Vanilla is the second most expensive spice after saffron, as there is extensive labour required to grow the seed pods. Despite this setback (or perhaps because of it), it is highly valued for its flavour, and is widely used in both the commercial and domestic spheres in baking, perfumeries, and aromatherapy. Here, vanilla adds roundness and rich character to the citrus appeal from the oil of bergamot present in our Earl Grey blends.
