Consistently the Best
It's a bit expensive, so we sometimes try other brands, but inevitably return to Silk Road for this exquisite tea. Nothing compares. Mouth and soul both crave it.
A full-bodied Sri Lankan black tea forms the base for this classic English beverage. Flavored with Bergamot oil and garnished with beautiful, bright-blue Cornflowers, a classic English breakfast beverage brings flavor to a new level.
Tea Notes. Sri Lankan black is a large leaf and full-bodied. This style of black is widely appreciated as a breakfast tea. The blend components lend rich flavors and build aromas on the tea.
Tea Facts. Black tea is Sri Lankan. Cornflower petals are organic and edible. Bergamot oil is made by crushing the rind of the fruit & scent the tea. Tea is caffeinated.
Tasting Notes. The citrusy aroma of the tea rises first. The taste is fresh and clean given the citrus flavor of Bergamot. Cornflowers provide a soft, floral sweetness. Full-bodied, it is a mouthful of flavor.
Brewing Suggestions. Use 3-4 grams of leaf, a teaspoon, for every 8 ounces of water at 195- 212°F. Steep for 3-4 minutes.

I have been drinking this tea every morning for years. I love the depth of flavor and the balance of black tea with the bergamot. I sometimes worry they will stop making this tea!
Love this bergamot and blue flower tea.
I have sampled many Earl Greys and this is my favorite - clean and crisp flavor
Blue Flower Earl Grey is my favorite Earl Grey. I’ve tried many and always return to this one.
Out of the four teas I tried as a sampler, this one was my favorite. The aroma and flavor are all noteworthy. I'll be buying a bigger quantity to last me through my days.
I like it but I was expecting it to be a bit more exciting.
This tea is an excellent quality tea. It is always fresh an I have it every morning. I enjoy all of the teas that I’ve purchased so far and most recently love the chamomile choices.
I had this tea at a shop in Mendocino and had to hunt it down. A lovely tea and a wonderful treat in the morning.
