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.

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.
