YHT Organic Earl Grey Black Tea Loose Leaf Leaves

YHT Organic Earl Grey Black Tea Loose Leaf Leaves We knew we wanted to create the best organic Earl Grey blend ever. We also knew that London, England was the birthplace of the iconic breakfast tea. We visited no less than the top 33 tea houses in London, from Oxford Street to King’s Road, to sample and taste recipes dating back to the 1800s. What we ended up with was a deliciously smooth and refreshing blend of organic Chinese and organic Indian full-leaf tea leaves intermixed with 100% real Italian Bergamot extract. We even add in delightful whole pieces of the Bergamot peel. The black tea foundation of Tippy Earl Grey derives from whole Chinese Keemun tea leaves, freshly picked Chinese Yunnan tea leaves, and malty Assam black tea leaves from India. The end result is the perfect breakfast tea that has enough caffeine for the morning without causing jitteriness or a caffeine crash.   An Uplifting Experience in Every Cup For almost two centuries people all over the world have turned to Earl Grey to start their day or as a mid-day perk up. Due to its strong black tea base, Earl Grey has more caffeine than many other tea blends. However, it’s milder and more subtle than a mug of black coffee. Because we use high-quality black tea blends as the base of every cup of Tippy Earl Grey, we can add extra whole pieces of dried bergamot rind to get more of its soothing effects without the spicy citrus notes overpowering the smooth black tea taste.         Enjoy YHT Earl Grey Any Way You Want We recommend three main ways to enjoy a delicious cup of YHT Earl Grey. It’s natural non-bitter sweetness means you can enjoy a nice steamy warm cup as is…simple with nothing added.
