Earl Grey – Classic Black Tea with Italian Bergamot
Our Earl Grey has earned a devoted following—and for good reason. Crafted with real Italian bergamot essential oil, this blend is bright, smooth, and strikingly aromatic without ever feeling perfumy or overpowering. The bergamot lends its signature citrus lift and delicate floral undertones to a carefully selected base of black teas, resulting in a cup that’s elegant, balanced, and deeply satisfying.
Even self-proclaimed Earl Grey skeptics have been known to fall in love with this one. Serve it plain or with a splash of milk for a timeless tea moment.

Brewing Instructions
8 oz Cup
- Scoop a heaping teaspoon of tea into infuser.
- Heat water to 212° F (boiling).
- Pour 8 oz. of water over tea leaves.
- Steep tea for 3-5 minutes (depending on taste preference).
- Remove infuser and enjoy tea.
Potful
Simply add to your infuser one heaping teaspoon of leaf per 8 oz. of water and place it in your pot, then add the appropriate amount of 212° F water and let it steep for 3 to 5 minutes. Remove the infuser and enjoy.
Brewing Iced Tea
Our opinion is that a cooled concentrate works best, as regular-strength brew tends to become watery as the ice melts. So, use the above leaf quantities, but half the water, allow it to cool, then pour it over ice and enjoy. The brew will dilute down to proper strength as the ice melts.
