A light & floral blend full of refined zesty flavours, sweet notes + rounded bitterness.

A brilliantly large leaf Sri Lankan Black tea from Dimbula village in the famous Nuwara Eliya region delicately scented with natural, organic Italian bergamot oil + decorated with our signature mix of colourful Devon grown cornflowers. 

Earl Grey the man was Charles Grey, 2nd Earl Grey, 26th British Prime Minister seeing in the Reform Act of 1832 & the abolition of slavery in the British Empire in 1833, he was also father to 17 children & lover to the Duchess of Devonshire as well as tea hero. Supposedly the now famous recipe was first created to offset the preponderance of lime in the local water at his home in Northumberland.

Earl Grey was the very first blend we attempted; a childhood favourite it was an inspirational adventure to discover the different elements of the recipe - to deconstruct, source the individual ingredients, experiment & create something of our own was a learning curve that opened our eyes & our minds.

Over the last 10 years we have developed our own recipes for 7 of the most loved British favourites, carefully selecting large leaves + balancing natural flavours to create fine whole leaf artisan blends of classic essential brews.

Our small collection of classic House Blends are all hand blended in super small batches, by just the two of us at our tiny tea boutique in Devon.
