Additional Information

  • Full Description

    Celebrated for its delicate bergamot aroma, Earl Grey tea has become a hallmark of British afternoon tradition, cherished as the quintessential blend to accompany a moment of repose. Our carefully curated blend of fine Ceylon loose leaf black teas is thoughtfully balanced with the zestful essence of citrusy bergamot, creating an elegantly refined tea with just a hint of sophistication. A scattering of blue cornflower petals adds a graceful touch, lending each cup a touch of floral beauty.

    This esteemed black tea, with its bright citrus notes, is steeped in legend. It is believed that the tea was first presented to the Earl Grey in the 1800s as a diplomatic gift from a Chinese envoy, in gratitude for his esteemed assistance at a pivotal moment. Traditionally enjoyed on its own, with a splash of milk, or accompanied by a slice of lemon, it’s a taste that echoes through the generations.

    Our Earl Grey Collection brings together an embossed, stackable, air-tight tea caddy, designed to keep your tea impeccably fresh and beautifully displayed. Alongside it, you’ll find an elegant tube of tea-infused, all-butter biscuits - crafted with care to perfectly complement each sip. And for convenience, a box of 25 individually wrapped teabags lets you take the quintessentially British pleasure of Earl Grey wherever you go.

    The design of this collection draws inspiration from the vivid Victorian wallpapers of William Morris, reminiscent of the patterns that might have graced drawing rooms where Earl Grey was savoured by the fireside. A splendid gift for any devoted Earl Grey enthusiast, or a perfect touch of heritage to proudly display in your own kitchen.

NUMEROLOGY

As Prime Minister between 1830 and 1834, the very same Earl Grey presided over the Slavery Abolition Act in 1833. We’ve numbered this tea 33, to mark the date.

BLENDED

Ever since our founder Walter Whittard weighed out tea leaves behind his high mahogany counter, we've been experimenting with our own inventive blends. Today you'll find extraordinary creativity in our collection, from unique twists on classics like English Breakfast to more inventive blends laden with fruit and flowers.

Store in a sealed jar or tin, such as our Fill-Me-Up Tea Caddies.
