Try it without milk or just a slice of Lemon to appreciate its delicate and subtle flavour.
Butterworth & Son is a family run business whose origins can be traced back to the nineteenth century. Harry Butterworth plied his trade as a tea dealer in the Manchester area. The business in its current incarnation was re-established in 1976 in Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk and named in honour of Ernest Butterworth.

I absolutely love the Earl Grey loose tea but sometimes want a quicker brew! These are really good, delicate and delicious- definitely worth the money to a discerning palate…. Tip: I live in a hard water area, so keep a water filter jug beside the kettle and use it for my tea, and it certainly helps make the perfect cuppa!
