Description

Earl Grey Tea with Cornflowers is a Flavoured Black Tea of unparalleled character and charm. It combines China Black Tea with rich, indulgent, citrusy bergamot oil and, of course, delicate, elegant cornflowers.

Every sip evokes images of lavish banquet halls and strolls through quintessentially English gardens. There is nothing quite like it in terms of its extraordinary flavour and aroma.

Additionally, there are health benefits to be had from drinking Earl Grey Tea with Cornflowers. Indeed, according to the latest scientific research, it can improve brain function and reduce the risk of developing type-2 diabetes.

Studies also suggest that Black Tea, regardless of the type, can aid digestion, support the immune system and even promote weight loss. 

Here at The Kent and Sussex Tea and Coffee Company, we pack every Tea, Tisane and Coffee fresh to order. This is our way of guaranteeing not only quality but also consistency. Earl Grey Tea with Cornflowers is, of course, no exception. By choosing this beverage, you’re getting exquisite citrusy overtones and remarkably malty undertones in every alluring sip. 

The Mystery of Earl Grey

Where did it all begin for Earl Grey Tea? No one knows. There is, however, one interesting, if unfounded, theory. The story goes that Charles Grey, 2nd Earl Grey travelled to China on a diplomatic mission. While there, he saved a young boy from drowning in a river.

The boy’s father, overcome with gratitude, gifted the Earl with Black Tea leaves scented with bergamot oil. In time, the beverage took his name, too. 

However, it’s worth noting that the 19th century Prime Minister never made such a trip to China. As a result, the story is little more than a myth. The fact of the matter is that we’ll likely never know the truth.

Thankfully, though, that has no impact on the enticing taste of Earl Grey Tea with Cornflowers! Why not find out for yourself today? You won’t be disappointed.

Benefits of Earl Grey Tea with Cornflowers

Did you know that Earl Grey with Cornflowers can enhance cognitive function? A study conducted at the University of Singapore and published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition has the answers.

The research project saw some 2,500 participants aged 55 or over undergo cognitive measuring. Two years later, scientists remeasured those involved. The results established that participants who drank two or three cups of Black Tea a day had a 55% lower chance of suffering from cognitive decline.

Those who drank six to ten cups a day, meanwhile, had up to a 63% lower chance.
