Earl Grey Reserve

$21.50
| /

A new take on Earl Grey, this limited lot version nods to the storied blend’s origin with a dark pu-erh tea base and dried Buddha’s hand citron pieces from China. Additional scenting from organic bergamot oil—naturally extracted from the fruit’s thick skin—produces a fragrant and rich brew that fills the cup. The multifaceted flavor is citrus-forward, with the sweet earthiness of pu-erh rounding out the aroma.

Unlike with the typical Earl Grey black tea base, try a quick rinse on the leaves before infusing for a clearer liquor. Enjoy on its own, or with milk and sugar.

Contains: pu-erh tea, Citrus medica var. sarcodactylis rind, bergamot oil.

Unexpectedly Astringent

Very good Earl Grey. Full-bodied and a little sweet. Definitely some astringency which I didn't entirely expect but it still turned out delicious over 7~ steeps on my first run through. Can't wait to experiment with this tea and savor it over some months.
