2nd Earl Grey Black Tea (loose leaves)

2nd Earl Grey Black Tea

Description:

A brighter, more expressive take on the classic Earl Grey—crafted for true bergamot lovers.

The Experience

Rooted in British tea tradition, Earl Grey is one of the world’s most iconic blends—named after Charles Grey, who served as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom in the early 19th century. Legend tells that this distinctive tea was created as a gift, its citrus character derived from oil of bergamot, a fragrant fruit grown along the Mediterranean coast.

This interpretation begins with smooth Ceylon black tea from Sri Lanka, prized for its brightness and clarity. We’ve elevated the classic by adding extra bergamot oil, creating a more vivid and aromatic cup—one that feels both steeped in history and refreshingly modern. The result is a tea that honors tradition while offering a more expressive citrus experience for today’s Earl Grey lover.
