Scotch and Abram's Earl Grey is a classic - premium black tea infused with natural bergamot oil, the fragrant citrus extract that gives Earl Grey its signature floral and citrusy character. Cornflower petals add a subtle visual beauty to the loose leaf blend and a delicate floral note that complements the bergamot without competing with it. Medium bodied, smooth, and citrusy with a bright, refreshing floral finish. The bergamot is confident but not aggressive - clean and aromatic rather than sharp. Works beautifully black with a slice of lemon, or with a splash of milk for a softer, creamier cup. If you want the Earl Grey experience with the creamy vanilla twist, the Cream Earl Grey is the natural companion. 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 black first - the bergamot comes through cleanest without milk. How does it compare? Creamier version: Scotch and Abram's Cream Earl Grey Similar to Bewley's Earl Grey Similar to Twinings Earl Grey Scotch and Abram's Cream Earl Grey adds a velvety vanilla note to the same base - the natural next step if you want something more indulgent. Bewley's and Twinings are the closest external comparisons - both are smooth, approachable Earl Greys with a similar clean bergamot character.
