Earl Grey Tea

$13.00

The world's best-known scented black tea is Earl Grey: A solid malty base with bergamot essential oil - a Mediterranean Citrus whose perfume is somewhere between lemon, lime and light florals.

But the magic is in balance: Just enough bergamot to make it bright and aromatic without drowning the tea. Good blends start with a clean, medium-bodied leaf (often Chinese or Ceylon styles) that carries citrus well and finishes crisp rather than bitter.

Blue cornflower petals or a dash of vanilla are sometimes added for effect; Others go sharp and fast for a breakfast-style cup. The liquor pours copper-amber with a bright, refreshing nose if brewed well. think zesty orange blossom and honey over gentle malt.

It is also versatile: good plain, elegant with a squeeze of lemon and comforting with a splash of milk. Iced, it makes a light, aromatic cooler and is a good base for London Fog style tea lattes. Either an everyday pick-me-up or a tidy afternoon cup with biscuits - Earl Grey's citrus lift is classic for a reason.
