To create this distinctive Earl Grey blend, our Tea Masters balance teas from East Africa and India. We use a high proportion of quality Kenyan and Malawi leaves to give the brew its brisk and lively flavour. This is complemented with a touch of exotic citrus from our exclusive bergamot flavouring. It’s a quintessentially English brew, perfect for those seeking an elegant, sophisticated cuppa. Add a splash of milk or a slice of lemon, and take a moment to relax over the busy festive season. While the blend is the same as our Earl Grey teabags, our loose leaf tea offers a more refined brewing experience and is foil-wrapped for freshness.
The Earl Grey bauble comes in stunning purple gold. Complete the set with our other festive baubles from the Beyond the Leaf Christmas Collection. There's our award-winning Spledind Ceylon and our popular Majestic Breakfast with a festive red gold design. Conveniently packaged for easy wrapping, as well as ready to hang, they make the perfect gift or decorative addition to any tea drinker’s home over the holidays.
Each and every morning, my favourite cup of tea would be English Breakfast. It’s strong, it’s coloury, it’s got a wonderful nutty flavour that I really do enjoy, and it takes the milk well.
William Manning, Senior Tea TasterIn the UK Head Office we taste over 500 cups of tea every day, to search for the best quality teas available from around the world.
