Earl Grey is still a staple of the traditional British tea service and a standard item on the menu of any self-respecting tea house. It is reliably popular with generations of tea drinkers, whether served at a busy afternoon service in a high street cafe or on a silver tray in a hotel lounge.
Our blend is a classic infusion of premium bergamot oil, high-grown leaves from Ceylon and top-grade Keemun black tea, with a lovely sprinkling of bright blue cornflower petals. When infused, the liquor is bright and coppery, with a wonderful floral character that navigates a slice of lemon beautifully, without the need for any artificial sweeteners.
It has just enough caffeine to wake you up gently, making it the ideal comforting morning staple or classic afternoon cuppa – or make it as an iced tea, brewing it double-strength and pouring it over ice with a dash of sugar syrup for a deeply refreshing summer drink.

Feedback concerning Earl Grey Tea

Posted by M. Cooper on Sep 09, 2024

I wish congratulate you on your Earl Grey Tea that a friend from Edinburgh brought me recently. Because of health problems, I have to watch what I eat and drink. I was a little apprehensive at first but your tea looked so inviting I had to have a taste. The only problem was that our 12 year old granddaughter, who was with us at the time, took a shine to it as well and asked if she could have a taste. Well it seems that she can't count because instead of a taste she must have had two or three 'tastes'. Then wanted to take the rest home for later. I tried to stop her but it caused tantrums and tears. (Nearly all of them were mine!) I was the one who ended up having a taste. Thank you very much for your absolutely delicious tea. I only had a taste but it was well worth it. Keep up the good work.

A high quality classic

Posted by La Kruca Kafejo on Dec 07, 2023

Historically many tea blenders have made their Earl Grey from what might charitably be called less than top quality leaves, relying on the oil of bergamot to cover up a multitude of sins. However, this Jenier blend shows what can be achieved by starting with good quality leaves. The perfume aroma of bergamot is well matched with a solid, but not astringent, body, which makes this one of the best Earl Greys we have tried.

Latin/ Botanical Names: Camellia sinensis, Centaurea cyanus.

Grown: Dimbula, Nuwara Eliya, and Uva (Sri Lanka), Anhui Province (China), and Provence (France).

Harmonisation Codes: <3Kg 0902300000 | >3Kg 0902400000

Serving Guide

Tea Menu: A popular classic for afternoon tea services, traditional hotel lounges, and speciality high-street café selections.

Per Serving: 1 teaspoon (approximately 2.6g) of loose whole leaf per standard 250ml cup.

Water: Use freshly filtered water brought to a full rolling boil at exactly 100°C to maximise the extraction of the robust black tea base and open the whole leaves.

Brewing Time: Steep for 3–5 minutes; extended steeping times simply intensify the flavour.

To Serve: Ideally served completely black with a fresh slice of lemon to balance the citrus top notes. Can accommodate a splash of milk and sugar, though milk will naturally soften the vivid bergamot punch. Pairs exceptionally well with tiered afternoon tea sandwiches, buttery shortbread, and lemon tarts.

Health Benefits

Cardiovascular Health Support: Comprehensive human clinical trials and systematic reviews indicate that regular consumption of high-quality black tea helps maintain healthy blood pressure levels. The natural flavonoids present in the oxidised leaves work to promote vascular flexibility, directly supporting everyday circulatory wellness.[1]

Enhanced Alertness and Focus: Randomised, double-blind human dietary interventions reveal that the natural synergy of L-theanine and caffeine in black tea significantly improves cognitive focus. This organic combination sharpens reaction times and sustains mental alertness throughout long periods of activity without the jittery drops linked to other beverages.[2]

Cholesterol and Metabolic Balance: Controlled human clinical studies show that daily consumption of premium black tea extracts can significantly reduce total and LDL cholesterol levels in adults. The complex polyphenols formed during the fermentation of the leaf actively assist the body in regulating lipid balances.[3]
