Earl Grey Large Leaf Tea, Premium Black Tea with Italian Bergamot Oil

Great tea this is delicious earl grey tea my favourite now

My boyfriend is an Earl Grey tea addict and has previously bought a different brand of Blue Flower Earl Grey Tea, which he really liked. I couldn't find the same brand for him so thought I'd take a chance on this one and am really glad that I did, it's absolutely delicious! In general tea from Sri Lanka is of excellent quality. This is no exception. It is based on large pieces of leaf and has a good bergamot lacing to it. The blue flowers add a subtle change to the taste as well as making the inside of the teapot look pretty. It comes in a re-sealable, foil-lined pouch, which helps to keep it fresh once opened. It is common for Earl grey to be made with a Darjeeling base but this one uses a black Ceylon tea instead. For most black teas, including this one, it is essential to have the water as hot as possible when you brew it and then to be patient enough to let it steep in a teapot for 3 or 4 minutes, before drinking it.

Excellent Earl Gray Tea! Rich flavor, VERY pleasant aroma, and good strength. Perfectly invigorating and warming. Pure enjoyment in every cup!

I love the Earl grey to and have been drinking it for nearly 50 years now do am aware of the many different types. This is a strong tea, given standard water Quality, temperature, quantity & infusion times. The bergamot flavour is prominent. The base tea, however is not to my tastes, not the best quality black tea, and leaves a muddy finish, similar to low quality black teas, hence my assumption the base tea is not the best quality, I could be wrong, and tastes do vary, but this time s not for me as the magenta overall cup taste is for me spoiled. I prefer distinct, clean, full tanin base of Ceylon first blush or Assam, so if you prefer your base tea to be more thick, treacly, what I call muddy, this may definitely be your cuppa. It contains blue flower petals, I assume bergamot but to me they look more like cornflower petals, often used in teas as they have no distinct flavour but are edible and look pretty in a glass teapot or infuser. I have given 4 out of 5 stars as I feel a better , more suitable base black tea could have been used, Compared to other earl grey tea with n the market and my personal preference.

Great quality and large quantity.

I bought several Earl Grey teas at once, so that I could compare then side-by-side ... this one came out the best of the batch. It had the most intense Bergamot flavouring, coupled with good quality tea leaves and blue corn flowers. Only a small amount was needed to produce a very pleasant cup of tea. The base tea was low in tannins, meaning that it was easy to drink without milk (my personal preference is for lemon). Considering the quantity that you receive for the price, this makes this particular tea excellent value for money.

it feels calm and elegant rather than perfumed, my favourite tea

exelent quality leaf tea
