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.

Black tea is a leaf that has been fully oxidized. This rigorous oxidization produces a tea of hearty rich flavors while reducing its astringency and bringing out a natural sweetness.
Flavors will range from bright, brisk, peppery, clean, and smoky to aromatic, bold, malty, nutty, spicy, and sweet. Blacks are known for long, delicately aromatic, and comforting aftertastes. Note, they are often enjoyed with milk or sweetener.

Blue Flower Earl Grey
I have been a lover of fine Earl Grey's for over 40 years, and this one takes the cake! It is probably the most refined and subtle of the Earl Greys I a have every had. I look forward to it's effervescence every day. I never tire of it.

Fabulous iced tea with tremendous flavor. This is 2/3 to 3/4 of my iced tea blend.

Exquisite bouquet with substantial but not overpowering bergamot flaver. My new go-to Earl Grey!

The standard of Earl Greys
This is the best Earl Grey I have had. It has such a deep rich flavor with strong yet not overwhelming aura of bergamot.

Best Earl Grey
Earl Grey is my favorite morning tea. This has just the right amount of bergamot to give it a wonderful flavor, but it does not overpower the tea. The black tea is smooth, and does not have the bitterness of many other Earl Grey teas I have tried.

Excellent
I had this tea several years ago while on vacation in Mendocino and loved it. I finally ordered some for myself. It is just as good as I remembered.

Best Earl Grey
Earl Grey is my go to, drink it everyday tea. Blue Flower Earl Grey is he best I've tasted. The tea contains a signature bergamot oil. When the bag is opened the bergamot fills the air with lovely citrus smell. The black tea and bergamot is perfectly blended to create a heavenly cup of tea. Then, on top of that the blue Cornflowers add a touch of floral note that wows the taste buds. I drink this everyday and am likely to be spoiled from drinking any other Earl Gray.

Excellent Earl Grey
This Earl Grey blend it top notch! The bergamot adds just enough of a citrus flavor to the black tea. Then, the hint of floral notes from the blue corn flower adds a new layer of interest. This is my new favorite Earl Grey. I have tired many brands of Earl Grey but I find this one to have the best quality and the most interesting taste of all of them.

Exceptional Earl Grey
I spotted this tea on vacation at a health food store, and they were sold out, but the empty jar smelled so amazing that I sought them out and ordered it online. The tea tastes even better than in smells. Highly recommended.
