Description

Darjeeling Earl Grey tea is a refined blend that marries the distinctive floral undertones of Darjeeling with the citrusy accents of bergamot. Known for its robust flavour and delicate aroma, this premium blend is harvested in the foothills of the Himalayas.

The exquisite character of Darjeeling Tea, often referred to as the 'champagne of teas', coupled with the invigorating notes of Earl Grey, makes this an exceptional tea choice for those seeking a sophisticated beverage experience.

Whether enjoyed hot or cold, it offers a unique infusion of taste that is both refreshing and palatable.

What is Earl Grey Darjeeling Tea

Earl Grey Darjeeling Tea is a highly-prized Loose Leaf Tea blend that harmoniously unites the high-altitude grown Darjeeling tea and the aromatic essence of bergamot, a citrus fruit predominantly found in Southern Italy.

It provides a uniquely muscatel flavour with floral notes, derived from select tea estates nestled in the Himalayan foothills. The addition of bergamot gives the blend its characteristic, energising citrusy flavour.

In terms of its history, Earl Grey is said to be named after the 19th-century British Prime Minister, Earl Charles Grey. The story goes that the blend was specially created to suit the water at the Earl's residence, which had a hint of lime.

Today, the blend has evolved, and the pairing of Earl Grey's bright bergamot notes with the delicate character of this offers a modern and refined twist to this classic tea. This fusion of flavours provides a riveting tea-drinking experience, fit for both Traditional Tea lovers and adventurous palates alike.

How to Brew Darjeeling Earl Grey Tea

Brewing Darjeeling Earl Grey tea is a simple yet artful process. The following steps will help you achieve the perfect cup of this premium tea blend:

  1. Begin with fresh, filtered water and bring it to a boil.
  2. For every 8 ounces of water, use one teaspoon of tea.
  3. Place the tea in a strainer or Tea Infuser, or directly into the cup.
  4. Pour the hot water over the tea and let it steep for 3-5 minutes.
  5. For a stronger flavour, increase the steeping time by 1-2 minutes.
  6. Once done, remove the leaves to prevent overstepping.
  7. Add any desired sweeteners, milk or Milk Alternatives although it is best enjoyed without any additions.
  8. Sip and savour the delightful fusion of flavours in every sip.

  9. Far superior to packeted Early Grey (even from Waitrose), its gentle Bergamot fragrance not masking the good Darjeeling.
