I was first commissioned to blend Earl Grey by a Michelin starred restaurant, and this "Posh Earl Grey" was the result after around 6 months of tweaking to perfect it. The name is simply to demonstrate the high quality ingredients used to make it.

More Info
Our Great Taste Award winning Posh Earl Grey is made using two single-estate black teas, a Sri Lanken Ceylon and Chinese Keemun, together with natural bergamot, orange blossom and cornflowers.
Ceylon is a naturally light and refreshing black tea and combined with the deeper more fragrant Keemun it makes a crisp and clean duo. The bergamot orange is a citrus fruit from Italy, which despite its name is actually green in colour and is more bitter than orange though less bitter than lemon. It is the bergamot that gives Earl Grey its distinctive flavour. The addition of the cornflowers gives the tea a slight floral edge and the orange blossom combines well with all of the ingredients to round it off adding a further floral citrus dimension.
It brews to a wonderful light golden brown colour with a wonderful citrus aroma. Enjoy it black, with milk or with lemon for 3 different taste sensations.
Available loose or in our hand-filled teabags.
