Edinburgh Tea and Coffee Company has been blending in Scotland since 1812, making them one of the oldest tea companies in the country. Their Earl Grey is a classic - black tea scented with bergamot oil, blended in small batches at their Edinburgh facility for a tangy, lemon-like aroma that is instantly recognisable and consistently fresh. Clean, fragrant, and well-balanced. The bergamot is present without being aggressive - a bright, citrusy lift over a smooth black tea base. Works well black, with milk, or with a slice of lemon. The string and tag teabags are individually wrapped, which keeps the bergamot aroma locked in until you're ready to brew. If you enjoy Edinburgh Earl Grey, our Scotch and Abram's Earl Grey is our take on that same fragrant, bergamot-forward cup - smooth, refined, and aromatic. How to brew the perfect cup Use freshly boiled water, not left to cool. Steep for 3 to 4 minutes. Try it black first - the bergamot comes through cleanest without milk. Add milk or a slice of lemon to taste. How does it compare? Similar to Bewley's Earl Grey Similar to Clipper Earl Grey Similar to Brodies Earl Grey All three are clean, approachable Earl Greys with a well-balanced bergamot character. Clipper is the organic option. Brodies is the loose leaf alternative for those who want to brew without a bag.
