The fresh fruitiness of our medium-bodied Earl Grey is sweet, not soapy. Aromatic and balanced, Earl Grey is excellent both hot or served over ice. Traditionally, Earl Grey is made with black tea as a base - we use Chinese Keemun (Qimen) from the Anhui Province in east-central China.
Chinese Black Tea, Bergamot Essential Oil, Natural Flavors.
- Scoop a slightly heaping teaspoon of tea leaves into your infuser.
- Heat water to 200° - 212° F (boiling).
- Pour 8 oz. of water over tea leaves.
- Steep tea for 3-4 minutes (depending on taste preference).
- Remove infuser and enjoy tea.
Simply add to your infuser one heaping teaspoonful of leaf per 8 oz. of water and place it in your pot, then add the appropriate amount of 200° - 212° F water and let it steep for 3 to 4 minutes. Remove the infuser and serve!!
Our opinion is that a cooled concentrate works best, as regular-strength brew tends to become watery as the ice melts. So, use the above leaf quantities, but half the water, allow it to cool, then pour it over ice and enjoy! The brew will dilute down to proper strength as the ice melts.
