Traditionally linked to Charles Grey of early nineteenth-century Britain, this black tea is brightened by the natural oil of bergamot, a fragrant Mediterranean citrus. It’s shaped as much by scent as by leaf, with a carefully blended black tea base that provides balance and depth, allowing the citrus to come through clearly without becoming sharp.
In the cup, it brews a clear red-amber hue with a lifted citrus perfume, leading to a brisk, clean taste that settles into a smooth, lightly smoky core. The mouthfeel is medium-bodied, finishing with a refreshing citrus echo. It’s especially well suited to drinking black, though a small amount of milk and sugar bring a playful character.
