Scotch and Abram's Cream Earl Grey is a more indulgent take on the classic - black tea and natural bergamot for the Earl Grey character, with a velvety vanilla cream note woven through that rounds out the citrus edge and adds a silky, lingering sweetness. Cornflower petals finish the blend with a subtle floral quality. Medium bodied, smooth, and creamy with bright bergamot and sweet vanilla notes. Less sharp than a straight Earl Grey, more rounded and comforting - the kind of cup that works particularly well in the afternoon when you want something a little more indulgent than usual. Best tried without milk first, though a splash works well if you prefer a softer cup. How to brew the perfect cup Use freshly boiled water, not left to cool. Use one heaped teaspoon per cup. Steep for 3 to 4 minutes. Try it without milk first - the bergamot and vanilla come through cleanest without it. How does it compare?

Twinings Lady Grey shares the same softened Earl Grey approach with additional citrus notes. Cream Vanilla is the natural step if you want even more of the sweet, creamy character without the bergamot.
