Description
Earl Grey is traditionally made with black China tea and bergamot. There are several strains of bergamot with varying flavours as the more sensitive Earl Grey fans will have noticed. There is also artificial oil of Bergamot. Ours are a blend of finer bergamots.
Black China tea can feel to weak so in recent years suppliers have offered various Earl Grey influenced teas like Ceylon based Earl Grey, Lady Grey and green Earl Grey which we sell.
Unlike our coffees, our teas are all sold pre-packed. We source them ourselves, cut and blend them if necessary on the premises before packing them is small runs.
Teas mixed on the premises include Organic Breakfast Tea and herbal blends like Sleepeasy.
Before being exported teas are usually processed at origin. Black teas are fermented while drying and Green Teas are dried faster and not allowed to ferment.
Of the fermented black teas the strongest are teas that go through the (self-explanatory) crush tear and curl process known as CTC. But even just having small sized pieces (ie fannings) can make tea stronger as the surface area is increased.
