Harney & Sons Earl Grey is a black tea from India and China, scented with natural oil of bergamot from Italy. It is the classic version of the cup, brisk and traditional, with a little oolong blended in to lighten it.

Medium in body, its bergamot is gentler than our Supreme, so the black tea still leads. Drink it on its own, or with milk and sugar the way many people first came to it.

Black tea, oolong tea, bergamot oil. Contains natural flavors.

Details: Would the world still turn without Earl Grey tea? Many would doubt it. Originally just for the former Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, Charles Grey, later it was spread throughout the kingdom and then around the world. It is so popular that we offer over ten versions of it.

Dry Leaves: A mixture of black and brown leaves (from the Formosa Oolong).

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

Aroma: The lemony aroma of bergamot from Italy comes through clearly. In this version, the notes are not quite as strong as in the Supreme or Imperial versions.

Flavors: In the later decades of the British Empire, citrus flavors became synonymous with Earl Grey tea. This tea is true to that heritage. It can be enjoyed on its own or with milk and sugar.

Caffeine Level: Caffeinated

Body: Medium-bodied, lightened by the addition of oolong tea.
