Black tea | Medium caffeine Fresh & fragrant with a hint of vanilla, our best selling, award-winning, Earl Grey blend has been part of our collection since day one. Named after our Prime Minister in the 19th Century, Earl Grey is a classic British breakfast brew. Ours is a little more elevated than your average cuppa though, containing oil from the bergamot plant and high quality tea blended with notes of vanilla - this is how you boost your brew.
