Origin: Blended Leaf Type: Scented Black Tea Taste: Lightly perfumed with bergamot Drink: Light without milk or strong with milk Brew: 3-5 minutes according to taste When to drink: Afternoon For many, Earl Grey is the afternoon tea of choice, enticingly light & infused with bergamot to give it the exotic flavour & aroma that we all love. Earl Grey is a lightly perfumed, classic blend of quality Indian & China teas & is a quintessentially English tea. It takes its name from the 1830s English Prime Minister, Charles Grey, although the true origin of the tea is uncertain. A luxurious afternoon tea, it was originally drunk almost exclusively by aristocrats, lightly brewed & usually without milk. Nowadays there are few people who havent savoured the aromatic taste of a good cup of Earl Grey. Whittards blend is outstanding with just the right balance of bergamot. It is a favourite afternoon tea, drunk with or without milk. Diameter: 8.8cm
