Category: Flavored Black Tea

Tasting Notes: bergamot, rosemary + lavender

Description: A classic earl grey with a twist. A blend of brisk Ceylon black tea with sun-ripened Italian bergamot, rosemary, and lavender.

In this highly aromatic blend, bergamot notes shine bright while the rosemary and lavender add a multi-layered depth. The touch of rosemary and lavender offers a subtle savory note. A well balanced and smooth earl grey tea.

This sun-drenched tea is excellent on its own and can also take milk, sugar, or honey. We love this tea as an iced tea due to its bright and aromatic taste.  For a refreshing cooler, make this tea as an iced tea and add sparkling water.  

Ingredients: black tea, bergamot, rosemary, lavender, rose petals

Steep Directions: steep 1 heaping teaspoon of tea per 8 oz boiling water, 205-212°F, for 3-4 minutes

The lavender and rosemary come through on the finish without overpowering the bergamot, which is exactly the balance I hoped for. I’ve been brewing it iced in the afternoons and the herbal notes stay bright even when cold.

I’ve been brewing it with a splash of oat milk in the afternoon and the lavender mellows everything out beautifully. This one’s earned a permanent s

The lavender and rosemary come through beautifully without overpowering the bergamot, making this a much more interesting earl grey than the standard stuff. I've been drinking it every afternoon this week, both hot and iced, and the brisk Ceylon base holds up perfectly either way.
