It is vegan and vegetarian.
Royal Earl Grey Tea Tasting Notes
The first thing you'll notice is fresh bergamot and citrus that blooms as it brews. It brews into a bright, coppery cup of floral Ceylon tea with mild astringency and a crisp bergamot brightness. The finish is clean and fresh.

Royal or Cream Earl Grey?
Choose Royal for bright, crisp bergamot and a classic Earl Grey cup. If you want something smoother and sweeter, our Cream Earl Grey adds a soft vanilla note. Both are naturally flavoured, made with traditional leafy Orange Pekoe, and make a great London fog.
About the Sri Lanka Tea Regions
Royal 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 bergamot oil, so the tea itself still shines through.
Frequently Bought Together
How to Brew Royal 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.
- Earl Grey London fog: Steep the tea with half the usual water, then add frothed milk and a little vanilla syrup if you like. Full recipe: London fog.
- 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.
