Earl Grey Teabags

A sophisticated blend of black China tea and natural oil of bergamot.

This tea contains natural oils which will evaporate once opened so please store in an airtight container away from direct sunlight.

Tea legend tells us that the 2nd Earl Grey was on British diplomatic service in China during the early part of the 19th century when a Chinese Mandarin gave to him the secret of blending the tea which now bears his name.

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!

      We love to read reviews like this Evelyn, thank you!
      The Earl Grey Tea bags were designed just for that… the convenience of them!You get your flavours in a much quicker brew!
      Great tip for the hard water areas too… makes a lot of difference!
      Thanks again for taking the time to leave such a lovely review!

    Haha….well Im that discerning palate!! I bought a box of your tea bags, pretty sure it was you guys, when on holiday in Norfolk and it really was the best Earl Grey!! Finding it hard to find a brand that tastes like Earl Grey should. Dont recognise the new packaging tho….It was a cream box….and a local company……nice to hear the history…. Thank you.

      Hello Lynne, this Earl Grey is indeed the same tea but in different packaging. Lovely to read about your enjoyment of this super Earl Grey 🙂

    This Earl Grey tea has a great flavour. I bought extra to put in a raffle hamper, and it looks really classy!

    I bought these because my american son-in-law has just developed a taste for Earl Grey tea and swears by a brand he gets in the US. I think the flavour is exceptionally good. He hasn’t tried it yet as he is visiting in the spring, so watch this space.
