BLACK TEA | Loose Leaf Cream Earl Grey
Cream Earl Grey Tea at a Glance
Our loose leaf Cream Earl Grey is a naturally flavoured Orange Pekoe black tea from Sri Lanka, made with black tea, cornflower petals and natural flavours. It is medium in caffeine, with smooth vanilla over bergamot on a floral Ceylon tea that suits London fog lattes, all-day sipping and cozy afternoons. Each 50 g bag makes about 25 cups. It contains no dairy and is vegan and vegetarian.
Cream Earl Grey Tea Tasting Notes
The first thing you'll notice is bergamot with a soft vanilla sweetness. It brews into a bright, coppery cup that is smooth, creamy-tasting and mellow, with vanilla over the bergamot. The finish is smooth and rounded. The flavours are natural, so they are gentle and clean, not loud.
Pairs With
Shortbread, a light pastry, or a cozy afternoon.

About the Sri Lanka Tea Regions
Cream Earl Grey starts with high-grown black tea from Sri Lanka's Nuwara Eliya, Dimbula and Uva regions, grown at about 1,200 to 2,600 m (4,000 to 8,500 ft) above sea level and bought in peak season. These regions are known for tea with a floral bouquet, mild astringency and a bright coppery colour. The flavour comes from natural flavouring oils, so the tea itself still shines through.
Frequently Bought Together
How to Brew Cream Earl Grey Tea
- Tea: 1 heaping teaspoon of loose leaf tea per 8oz / 240 ml cup.
- Water temperature: 100°C / 212°F, a full rolling boil.
- Steep time: 4 to 5 minutes. Go 2 to 3 minutes for mild and 6 to 7 for strong.
- Serving: Milk and sugar both work well. Skip the lemon.
- Iced: Use half the water (120 ml) when brewing. Pour the hot tea directly over a large cup filled with ice. As the ice melts, it will dilute the tea to the perfect strength.
- Cream Earl Grey London fog: Steep the tea with half the usual water, then top with frothed milk. The vanilla is already in the tea, so you can skip the syrup, or add a little if you like it sweeter.
- Iced: use half the usual water at 90°C, steep 3 to 4 minutes, then pour over a glass of ice. Add honey or any sweetener if you like.
