Earl Grey is a classic blend of black tea and bergamot that is a favourite in the western world, but the quality of the base tea is often neglected. Here at Canton Tea Co. we want to drink an Earl Grey made with a high-grade base tea and so we have sourced the best First Flush Darjeeling for our version of this traditional blend.
Organic First Flush Darjeeling from the world-renowned Arya estate creates a stunning amber liquor with a gentle floral taste and smooth finish. Scented with the finest Sicilian organic Bergamot oil the tea takes on a delicate citrus taste and wonderfully heady, slightly perfumed aroma. Organic indigo-blue cornflowers are a traditional addition that simply make this tea a visual treat. A world away from dusty Earl Grey tea in a bag.
