Lord Bergamot Blend No. 55
Earl Grey Black Tea
A flavor somewhat superior to traditional Earl Grey. Fragrant Ceylon Dimbula and Uva are artfully combined with select teas from India's Assam valley, then scented with the flavor of bergamot from the realm of Reggio Calabria, Italy.
INGREDIENTS
Assam
Assam tea is the biggest, brightest, richest and most astringent tea made. It is the backbone to breakfast style teas of nearly all brand and quality although it is also used in many blends for body and top notes. Assam is less floral and has more bread or biscuit- flavor than other origins, and is often described as malty or coppery.
Bergamot Oil
Bergamot is a citrus fruit the color of a lime and the size of a large orange. Picked when ripe, the thick peel is removed and pressed an olive to extract its essential oils. It has a distinctive flavor and aroma with notes of lavender, lemon and spice.
Ceylon Dimbula
The Dimbula region is directly opposite the Uva region in Sri Lanka. Dimbulas are often called Westerns in the tea trade. They have a reddish amber color in the cup, with a medium to full body, slightly fruity flavor and mineral notes. Ceylon Dimbulas are often used in medium bodied blends, Earl Grey formulas and other flavored teas. The best Dimbula teas are produced from December to February.
Ceylon Uva
Situated 1100 meters above sea level on the island of Sri Lanka, the Uva region produces teas of distinctly different character from their Ceylonese siblings. Uvas are astringent, intensely floral and slightly sharp in flavor with a golden cup color. They add bite and freshness to blends.
Quality You Can Taste
To protect every delicate full leaf and blossom, we handcraft each small batch of tea by hand, under one roof.
The shape is not unusual, but the artistry inside is unique. Our roomy, relaxed fit sachet encourages greater full leaf expansion for a more satisfying tea experience. This makes it a sachet with serious cachet.
We support farmers who produce tea and botanicals in a sustainable manner, recognizing that nurturing the soil and the plant is the only way to create a sustainable crop.
Our full leaf teas & herbal infusions are naturally full of flavor and do not have any added sugar.
How to Steep Your Tea
Bring filtered water to a boil. Steep black teas and herbal infusions 5 minutes. For green, white and oolong teas, let water cool a bit to 190° and steep 3 minutes.
