What are Earl Grey Tea Bags?

Earl Grey Tea Bags are organic black tea scented with bergamot, portioned into 25 tea bags. Bergamot is a citrus grown mainly in southern Italy, and its oil is what gives Earl Grey the perfumed, citrus-peel note that sets it apart from a plain black tea.

About Earl Grey

Earl Grey is the most widely recognized flavored black tea in the world. Ours is organic, and the bergamot is a natural flavoring rather than a synthetic one. The base is a fully oxidized black tea, so it brews dark and takes milk if that's how you drink it.

How to brew Earl Grey Tea Bags

Use one tea bag per cup. Pour hot water over the bag and steep to taste, then lift the bag out. See the brewing chart below for the water temperature and steep time we suggest for this style. Each pouch holds 25 tea bags (net wt 2 oz (57 g)), and the bags are unbleached paper with no staples, strings, or tags.
