Tasting Notes: bergamot, vanilla cream, rose

Description: One of our most popular teas! A bold and decadent earl grey. We’ve blended together rich black tea with strong bergamot, vanilla, and a hint of floral rose. The result is a strong and aromatic creamy vanilla earl grey that can stand up well to milk and sugar.  

This sophisticated and fanciful tea is inspired by afternoon tea service at tea salons in Paris.  A remarkable tea that is rich, sultry, and decadent. Add milk and sugar to increase the decadent creamy notes. 

In comparison to our Earl Grey Crème, French Grey is a stronger more aromatic black tea. French Grey is a bold and rich earl grey.

Ingredients: black tea, bergamot, vanilla, cream flavor, rose petals, cornflowers

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

David ★★★★★

The bergamot hits first and strong, then the vanilla cream smooths everything out into a cozy, almost dessert-like cup. I've been brewing it every afternoon this week and the rose is just a whisper underneath, making it feel fancier than my usual tea routine.

Aurora V. ★★★★★

The rose note sneaks in right at the end of each sip, which makes this feel fancier than my usual morning cup. The bergamot is bold enough to wake me up but the vanilla keeps it from getting sharp.

Evelyn ★★★★★

The bergamot is bold without being sharp, and the rose note adds a softness that makes this feel more luxurious than your standard earl grey. I've been brewing it with a splash of milk in the afternoons and it's become my favorite ritual.
