Tasting Notes: earl grey with fruit + vanilla

Description:  A smooth black tea that is a fruity and floral twist on traditional earl grey. An aromatic tea that's flavor is inspired by the style of teas and tea salons in Paris.  The name of this tea is inspired by the beloved 1975 documentary Grey Gardens filmed in East Hampton. 

Rich black tea is enveloped between layers of fruity currants, zesty orange, robust bergamot, floral rose, and a touch of vanilla. The result is a complex take on earl grey that is perfectly balanced. 

This luxurious variation of earl grey works well straight up or with cream and sugar. A lovely choice for afternoon tea and to pair with scones. This fruity and floral black tea also works quite well as an iced tea.

Ingredients: black tea, currant, orange, bergamot, vanilla, rose petals, cornflowers

Steep Directions: steep 1 heaping teaspoon of tea per 8 oz boiling water, 205-212°F, for 3-5 minutes

Eva ★★★★★

The vanilla really rounds out the bergamot without turning it into a dessert—it stays bright and refreshing. I've been brewing it hot in the mornings and it's already my go-to cup this week.

Christopher ★★★★★

The fruit and floral notes come through beautifully without overpowering the bergamot, and it steeps up smooth with zero bitterness. I’ve been reaching for this one every afternoon since the bag arrived.

Thomas V. ★★★★★

The vanilla makes this feel almost dessert-like, but it stays smooth and not at all heavy. The fruitiness comes through softly after the bergamot settles, and the dry leaves smell incredible before you even brew them. My second cup of the morning has become a ritual.
