Earl Grey Sri Lanka

To make tea of the Earl Grey variety, you will need to ensure that the tea maintains its strong flavour and citrusy notes. Follow the procedure below:

Water temperature: Bring your water to around 90-95°C (194-203°F) as this will also help to bring out the black tea and bergamot flavour.

Steeping time: Place 1 teaspoon of tea leaves in your teapot or infuse it in a strainer for an approximate duration of 3-5 minutes depending on how strong you like your tea.

Enhancements: While Earl Grey tea comes with excellent taste, you can always add a splash of milk or a dash of honey or lemon to further enhance the taste and give the bright citrus aroma. A kind of tea that is made stronger with milk is called Earl Grey latte and you can try this also.

Brewed tea option: To make iced tea, prepare the tea as usual, let it cool down, and pour over ice cubes. Enhance the iced tea’s cooling effects with slices of fresh lemons or mint leaves for a zesty infusion.

Enjoy: Remember to take small sips as you enjoy the mellow combinations of strong black tea with zesty bergamot whether hot or cold.

Although Earl Grey Tea is usually safe for most of the people, it does have caffeine which makes it an unsuitable drink for those who are sensitive to caffeine.

Pregnant or breastfeeding women, people on specific medications, or people who have particular medical conditions should not take black tea on regular basis without a prior consultation with a medical provider.

Some other people may also experience photosensitivity due to wearing bergamot oil. Moderation is important.
