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

Emma ★★★★★

Brewed this up on a rainy afternoon and the bergamot is so much brighter than my usual earl grey, with the rosemary and lavender adding a calm herbal finish that lingers nicely. It's become my slow-morning staple.

Zoe X. ★★★★★

The lavender and rosemary really come through alongside the bergamot—it’s a much more interesting earl grey than the plain ones I’ve tried. The Ceylon base stays smooth even after a few minutes of steeping, and the floral notes linger nicely without turning soapy.
