50 Shades of Earl Grey

This tea is just as fun as the name suggests! Customers always smile when they see it, and I love watching their curiosity turn into delight after that first sip. It’s elegant, playful, and a little flirty — just like the name. Flavor Profile: Our handcrafted Earl Grey begins with a bold base of malty Assam black tea infused with smooth Italian bergamot essential oil. Lavender and rose petals lend soft floral notes, while lemongrass brightens the blend with a gentle citrus lift. A touch of vanilla bean ties everything together with creamy sweetness. The result is a cup that’s layered, aromatic, and indulgently comforting. Ingredients: Assam black tea with bergamot essential oil, rose petals, lavender, lemongrass, vanilla bean. How to Brew: Use 1 Tbsp loose leaf tea per 8–16 oz hot water (180°–190°F). Steep for 5–8 minutes. Can be resteeped for a second cup, especially if the first steep is on the lighter side. A Little Note: Black teas are brisk, malty, and full-bodied thanks to the rich flavors that develop during oxidation. I personally love a strong brew and sometimes let it go well over 8 minutes (because, life!) — thankfully, black teas are very forgiving. *These teas are not intended to treat, diagnose, cure, or prevent any illness, disease, or condition, and have not been evaluated by the FDA.
