Description

Quintessentially British, this tea is traditionally said to take its name from the second Earl Grey, and is distinctive for its elegant flavour, delicately scented with the citrus tang of bergamot.

Our blend of fine teas makes this a most refreshing brew, to be drunk with or without milk. Presented in a Brodies gift tin, it makes a thoughtful present for any tea lover.

The black tea gives the blend body and a smooth, rounded base, while bergamot adds a bright, perfumed lift that lingers after every sip.

As loose leaf, the tea has room to infuse freely in the pot, releasing its full aroma and letting you brew it exactly as strong as you like.

The tea is presented in a beautifully embossed, gold-toned tin with an ornate thistle design. It keeps the tea fresh on the shelf and, once the tea has been enjoyed, makes an elegant caddy to refill again and again.

Our story

The story of Earl Grey

Earl Grey is traditionally said to be named after Charles Grey, the 2nd Earl Grey, who was British Prime Minister from 1830 to 1834.

The legends
Several stories claim the blend was created for him, or presented to him as a gift, but none can be proven. What we do know is that tea flavoured with bergamot was being sold in Britain by the 1820s.
The bergamot
Its flavour comes from bergamot, a fragrant citrus fruit thought to be a cross between a lemon and a bitter orange.
A British favourite
It's too sour to eat, but its aromatic oil gives Earl Grey the perfumed, uplifting character that has made it a British favourite for well over a century.
Loose leaf
This loose leaf edition is the most traditional way to enjoy it, measured from a caddy into a warmed pot.

Loose leaf Earl Grey FAQs

Clear, simple answers to help you make an informed choice.

What gives Earl Grey its flavour?

Our blend of fine black teas is delicately scented with the citrus tang of bergamot, giving Earl Grey its elegant, distinctive flavour.

What is bergamot?

A small, fragrant citrus fruit. Its aromatic oil traditionally gives Earl Grey its floral, citrusy character.

How much tea is in the tin?

The tin contains 100g of loose leaf tea, enough for around 40 cups, depending on how strong you like it.

How should I brew it?

Warm the tea pot, then add one teaspoon of loose leaf tea per cup and pour over freshly boiled water (100°C). Brew for 3 to 5 minutes, depending on how strong you like it, then strain.

Should I take it with milk or lemon?

Either. It's delicious with a splash of milk, and many Earl Grey lovers prefer a slice of lemon for an extra burst of citrus. Just don’t add both - lemon will curdle milk!

Do I need a teapot?

A teapot is the traditional way to brew loose leaf, but a tea infuser, strainer or filter in your mug works just as well.

Can I refill the tin?

Yes. Once the tea has been enjoyed, the tin makes an elegant caddy for your favourite loose leaf tea.

Does it contain caffeine?

Yes. Earl Grey is made with black tea, which naturally contains caffeine.

Is it ready to give as a gift?

Yes, it comes in a Brodies gift tin, ready to wrap and give. Add our all butter Scottish shortbread for a classic tea-time gift.
