M&S Earl Grey Green Teabags
What it is
These are individually wrapped teabags containing a blend of green tea and the distinctive flavour of bergamot oil. Green tea is known for its lighter, more vegetal notes compared to black tea. The addition of bergamot oil, a citrus fruit, provides a fragrant and slightly floral aroma and taste that is characteristic of Earl Grey tea. The tea is sourced and blended by Marks & Spencer.
How people cook with it
These teabags are convenient for preparing a quick and flavorful cup of tea.
- Morning refreshment
- Afternoon pick-me-up
- Accompaniment to biscuits
- Relaxing evening drink
To prepare, place one teabag in a mug. Heat fresh water until it is just below boiling point. Pour the hot water over the teabag and allow it to steep for two to three minutes, depending on your preferred strength. Remove the teabag and discard. You can enjoy this tea plain, or add a splash of milk or a slice of lemon if desired. For a stronger flavour, use two teabags or steep for a longer period.
How it differs from similar foods
This blend differs from traditional Earl Grey, which is typically made with black tea. The green tea base offers a less robust, more delicate flavour profile. The bergamot essence is present in both, but it interacts differently with the green tea, resulting in a brighter, more aromatic cup.
Who it is for
Anyone who enjoys a fragrant and subtly flavoured tea will appreciate these teabags.
How to keep the rest
Keep the remaining teabags in their original box or an airtight container. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and strong odours to maintain freshness and flavour. Ensure the container is sealed tightly after each use.
