Earl Grey – Questions Answered
Is Earl Grey stronger than regular black tea?
Earl Grey uses black tea as its base, so caffeine is usually similar to standard black tea. The difference is flavour: bergamot adds a fresh citrus aroma rather than extra strength. For a softer cup, brew 3–4 minutes; for more punch, go to 4–5 minutes.
Is the bergamot natural?
Yes. We use natural bergamot oil to deliver a clean, authentic citrus profile. This helps avoid the flat or “perfumey” note that can happen with low-grade artificial flavouring.
Is Earl Grey good with milk?
Absolutely. Many Irish tea drinkers enjoy Earl Grey with a splash of milk for a softer, creamy cup. If you prefer it brighter and more citrus-forward, drink it black or add a slice of lemon.
Why choose loose leaf Earl Grey instead of tea bags?
Loose leaf tea typically uses larger leaf grades, which brew smoother and more aromatic. You get more clarity in the bergamot and a cleaner finish—especially important for a tea where aroma is the star.
