Earl Grey Orange Black Tea

Earl Grey Orange Black Tea combines Ceylon black tea from Sri Lanka with the distinctive citrus aroma of bergamot and the familiar sweetness of orange peel.

This loose leaf Earl Grey offers a bright and balanced alternative to a classic Earl Grey tea. The black tea provides structure and depth, while bergamot and orange create a fragrant citrus finish.

Ceylon black tea: The tea base brings a lively, brisk character that supports citrus flavours well.

Bergamot: This aromatic citrus note gives Earl Grey tea its distinctive floral and fragrant character.

Orange peel: Orange adds a rounder and more familiar citrus note, creating a softer contrast with the aromatic bergamot.

Loose leaf format: The leaves have room to open during steeping, producing a full aroma and a well balanced cup.

Aroma: Fragrant bergamot, sweet orange, and warm black tea.

Taste: Bright citrus over a smooth and gently brisk Ceylon tea base.

Body: Medium body with a clean texture.

Finish: Fresh, aromatic, and gently lingering.

Flavour impression: Bright, elegant, and citrus rich without overwhelming the black tea.

Tea: Use 2 to 3 grams, or approximately 1 level teaspoon, for 250 mL of water.

Water: Heat fresh filtered water to 95°C, or 203°F.

Time: Steep for 3 minutes and taste. Continue for up to 4 minutes if you prefer a stronger cup.

Serving: Remove the leaves after steeping. Enjoy the tea plain or add a small amount of milk, honey, or sugar according to taste.

Tip: Avoid leaving the leaves in the cup for too long because an extended infusion can increase astringency and cover the delicate citrus aroma.

Hot Earl Grey: Follow the standard brewing method and enjoy the tea plain to experience the clearest bergamot and orange flavour.

Iced Earl Grey: Use 4 to 5 grams for 250 mL of water. Steep at 95°C for 4 minutes, strain, and pour over a full glass of ice.

London Fog: Use 4 grams of tea with 125 mL of water. Steep at 95°C for 4 minutes, strain, then add about 125 mL of warm or steamed milk. Add vanilla or sweetener if desired.
