How people cook with it

This tea is ideal for enjoying on its own or as a base for more complex beverages. It can be served hot or cold.

  • Morning refreshment
  • Afternoon pick-me-up
  • Base for iced tea
  • Accompaniment to biscuits

To prepare, warm your teapot or mug with hot water. Add one teaspoon of tea leaves per person, plus an extra spoonful for the pot. Pour freshly boiled water over the leaves and let it steep for 3 to 5 minutes, depending on your preferred strength. Strain the tea into your cup. You can enjoy it black or add milk, sugar, or a slice of lemon to taste. For iced tea, brew a stronger batch and chill before serving over ice.

How it differs from similar foods

Compared to standard Earl Grey, this blend features a more pronounced citrus note, often a blend of lemon and bergamot, offering a brighter and more complex aroma. The use of fine tea leaves also contributes to a smoother, more nuanced flavor profile than teas made with broken leaves.

Who it is for

Anyone seeking a fragrant and ethically sourced tea to enjoy throughout the day.

How to keep the rest

Once opened, store the tea in an airtight container in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and strong odors. This will help preserve its delicate aroma and flavor for longer. Ensure the container is tightly sealed after each use.
