This tea was in the original five teas that made up our Historic Royal Palace tea line. The tin is a lovely blue that is reminiscent of the sapphires found in the Tower of London's Crown Jewels. We blended a special Earl Grey for this occasion. It is stronger in body than the Earl Grey Supreme (a nod to our British cousins' taste for strong teas.) And the lemony bergamot is also stronger than our other Earl Greys.

Dry Leaves: A mixture of black and brown leaves.

Liquor: The liquor is a clear brown, tending toward russet.

Aroma: The lemony aroma of bergamot from Italy comes through clearly.

Caffeine Level: Caffeinated

Body: The medium bodied tea is lightened by the addition of oolong tea.

Flavors: In the later decades of the British Empire, the citrus flavors became synonymous with Earl Grey Tea. This tea is true to that heritage.

Brewing Time: 5 minutes

Brewing Temp: 212 F

Ingredients:

Black tea, oolong tea, bergamot oil.
