EARL GREY OOLONG TEA

Oolong tea, which is partly oxidised, offering a strength just below fully-oxidised black tea, yields a refreshing and gentle liquor, ideal for evening drinking. The tea by itself has malt, orchid-like aromas and a toasty, apricot infusion. The light infusion is smooth and does not become bitter. It is grown in the Nantou area of Taiwan. No one is sure who created the original Earl Grey blend or indeed what it was like but we are confident that our use of the genuine, highest quality ingredients will make you feel that you have only really now discovered the real Earl Grey yourself. There are many legends and myths surrounding the origin of this famous tea and as many original recipes! One thing is certain it is a blend of tea and oil of bergamot. Ah, but which tea!? We think we've got most of them covered! To make matters more confusing which bergamot oil? Most manufacturers don't even use the real thing, opting for an artificial variation. Rest assured we use only the best quality cold pressed oil, whatever the blend.
