Mayde Tea Earl Grey

Description

Experience the timeless elegance of Mayde Tea Earl Grey, a premium loose-leaf black tea that brings the classic British tradition to your daily ritual. Sourced from the lush tea gardens of Sri Lanka and infused with aromatic bergamot oil, this sophisticated blend offers a refined tea-drinking experience that’s both vegan-friendly and crafted with certified organic ingredients.

A Classic Blend with Premium Ingredients

At the heart of this Earl Grey blend is Camellia sinensis, the finest black tea leaves carefully selected from Sri Lankan estates renowned for their exceptional quality. The distinctive character comes from the addition of Citrus aurantium bergamia (bergamot) oil, which imparts the signature citrus notes that Earl Grey enthusiasts have cherished for generations. This thoughtful combination creates a balanced, aromatic cup with layers of flavour that unfold with each sip.

The Perfect Cup Every Time

Brewing the perfect cup of Earl Grey is simple with Mayde Tea’s premium loose-leaf format. Use approximately one teaspoon (2.25 g) of tea leaves per cup, adding freshly boiled water at 100°C. Allow the tea to steep for 2-4 minutes, depending on your preferred strength. For a lighter, more delicate flavour, steep for 2 minutes; for a bolder, more robust cup, extend to 4 minutes. Many tea lovers enjoy adding a splash of milk to create a smooth, creamy Earl Grey experience, though it’s equally delightful enjoyed black to fully appreciate the bergamot’s citrus notes.

The Earl Grey Experience

Earl Grey tea has been a beloved choice for tea enthusiasts since the 19th century, traditionally associated with afternoon tea and moments of refined relaxation. The distinctive bergamot flavour adds a sophisticated twist to classic black tea, creating a versatile beverage that’s equally enjoyable as a morning pick-me-up or an afternoon refreshment. The aromatic qualities of bergamot oil complement the rich, malty notes of Sri Lankan black tea, resulting in a well-rounded cup that engages both the palate and the senses.

Loose-Leaf Advantages

Choosing loose-leaf tea over tea bags offers numerous benefits for the discerning tea drinker. Whole tea leaves retain more of their natural oils and flavour compounds, resulting in a more aromatic and flavourful brew. The loose-leaf format also allows the tea leaves to fully expand during steeping, releasing their full spectrum of taste and aroma. Additionally, loose-leaf tea provides better value, as you can control the strength of each cup and often enjoy multiple infusions from quality leaves.

Important Information

As with all black teas, Mayde Tea Earl Grey contains naturally occurring caffeine. A typical cup prepared according to the directions contains caffeine, which contributes to the tea’s invigorating qualities. Please note that caffeine intake of more than 200 mg daily is not recommended during pregnancy or lactation. For reference, a cup of instant coffee contains approximately 80 mg of caffeine. If you’re monitoring your caffeine consumption, consider enjoying this tea earlier in the day or adjusting your serving size.
