---|---|---|
1. Heating the WaterAlways use freshly drawn water. Water which has previously been boiled will have become de- oxygenated and will not produce a good liquor. If possible, the water should be filtered to remove the chlorine and other additives that affect the taste. Heat water to the temperature recommended for your tea using an electric hot water heater or a stovetop kettle. |
2. Selecting the TeaChoose your favorite blend from our large selection of teas. Black teas are the most frequently used as part of the afternoon tea custom. However, if you’re looking for a lighter tea, select from one of our many delicious green teas or herbal infusions. Use 1 teaspoon of tea per person, plus one for the pot. |
3. Brewing TipsOnce the water reaches the appropriate temperature, it should be poured immediately onto the tea leaves to allow the best brew. Check the pack or the table below for brewing times as this varies between blends. When brewing, cover the teapot with a tea cosy to keep the heat in. When your tea is done steeping, immediately remove the tea bag and lightly stir. |

The balance between bergamot and tea flavor leans very heavily towards Bergamot. Weak tea flavor, strong bergamot flavor. If that's "your cup of tea", this is definitely the tea for you! Myself, I find it a bit strong. I will blend unflavored black tea with this tea to tone it down a bit.
The color and scent of the tea is lovely. The tea is very fresh.
I ordered this in November 2023. Packing date as indicated on box is June 20, 2023 and best by date is June 20, 2026. I appreciate the full disclosure on the box.
Pros:
- Value for money.
- If you love strong bergamot, this tea is for you!
- Attractive box. It could be a gift. You'd still wrap it, but looks better than a grocery store tea box.
- Packing date and best buy date printed on box.
- Arrived very fresh.
- Great scent, great color.
Neutral:
- I can feel the caffeine in this tea. My guess (this is only a guess, but I drink a pot of tea every day) is that
it is well caffeinated. If you like your caffeine, this is the tea for you!
- Distributed by Ahmad Tea of London and packed in Sri Lanka.
Cons:
- May be heavily flavored for your taste if you are accustomed to grocery store Earl Grey tea as I am.
- A pound of tea is a lot of tea. You'll have to repackage it in airtight containers to keep it fresh. The
package tells you to store it in an airtight container.
- The envelope in the box folds closed but not as securely as, for example, a Lipton loose tea foil
envelope. Repackaging is definitely advised.
