Earl Grey

Here is a secret hiding in plain sight: the English word 'earl' descends from the Old Norse jarl. So when you pour Earl Grey, you pour the Jarl's tea - and ours is fit for the title: Ceylon OP black tea dressed with blue cornflowers and a touch of bergamot essential oil.

Orange, floral, and malt notes over high body and noble astringency. Timeless alone; take it with milk and sugar when the court demands ceremony.
