Earl Grey Classic – Traditional Ceylon Earl Grey Black TeaEarl Grey Classic is a refined and timeless black tea blend made for those who love the traditional taste of true English Earl Grey. Simple, elegant and aromatic, it keeps the focus on quality Ceylon black tea from Sri Lanka and the distinctive citrus character that has made Earl Grey one of the world's most recognized teas. The bold black tea base offers a smooth, full-bodied cup with a naturally brisk character, while fragrant bergamot-style citrus notes add brightness, freshness and classic Earl Grey charm. Delicate cornflower petals bring a graceful visual touch, making the blend beautiful in the tin and beautifully balanced in aroma. Tasting Notes

How to EnjoyEarl Grey Classic is excellent served plain, with a touch of sugar, with milk or as a comforting London Fog-style latte with steamed milk and vanilla. It also makes a refreshing iced tea and pairs perfectly with scones, shortbread, lemon cake and cucumber sandwiches. Timeless, bright and beautifully balanced, Earl Grey Classic is a staple for every tea cupboard. |

A little steeping tipBergamot turns sharp if over-steeped, so keep it to 3–4 minutes. Add milk and vanilla for a London Fog.
Why cold brewCold water draws out less bitterness, so the tea tastes smooth and naturally sweet.
A fresh way to enjoy itSweeten while the tea is still hot so it dissolves. For a smoother, mellower glass, try cold brew: leaves in cold water in the fridge for 6–8 hours.
Think of these as a starting point. Every tea is a little experiment, so adjust the amount, temperature and time to your taste.
