Earl Grey loose leaf tea sachets: black tea scented with bergamot, in a box of 4 pre-measured sachets. It is the classic cup, a full-bodied black base with a bright citrus lift, and there is nothing to scoop or strain.

This is one of the blends I pour at my tea parties, and it is the one guests ask for by name when they are not sure what else to try. You smell the bergamot before you taste it.

Every sachet holds real loose leaf tea, already measured and sealed, so you get loose leaf flavor without the infuser or the mess in the sink. One sachet, one cup, just add hot water.

The details

  • Type of tea. Black tea with bergamot. It contains caffeine, so it suits mornings and afternoons better than bedtime.
  • Servings. 4 sachets per box, 1 sachet per 8 ounce cup, so 1 box is 4 cups of tea.
  • No infuser needed. The loose leaf is measured and sealed in the sachet already. Cup, sachet, hot water, done.
  • Packed by hand in Cibolo, Texas. Processing time is 2 to 4 days before your order ships.
  • Brewing instructions included. Every box carries the steeping directions, so the first cup comes out the way it should.

Pair it with Classic Chai if you want a spiced black tea beside it, browse the rest of my loose leaf tea shelf, or choose Earl Grey as one of your 3 flavors inside Simple Pleasures, my tea party gift box. Serving guests late in the evening? Read my guide to Caffeine-Free teas first.

This is the blend I reach for when I want the table to feel like an occasion and I have no time to fuss over it. Pour it plain or with a slice of lemon, and sit down with it.

Questions people ask

Does Earl Grey tea have caffeine?

Yes. Earl Grey is a black tea, so every cup has caffeine in it. That makes it a good morning or afternoon cup. If you want the same tea ritual at night or for guests who avoid caffeine, pick one of my Caffeine-Free herbal blends instead.

How many cups of tea are in one box?

4 cups. Each box holds 4 pre-measured loose leaf sachets, and 1 sachet brews one 8 ounce cup. Brewing instructions come in the box, so you are not guessing at the first one.

Do I need an infuser or a teapot for loose leaf tea?

No. The loose leaf tea is already measured and sealed inside the sachet, so you drop 1 sachet in your cup and add hot water. A mug works as well as a teapot, and there is nothing to scoop, strain, or wash out.

Can I put milk or lemon in Earl Grey?

Either one, but not both in the same cup, because lemon can curdle milk. A lot of people take Earl Grey plain so the bergamot comes through. Sugar cubes and honey both sit well with it.

What does bergamot taste like?

Bergamot is a citrus fruit, somewhere between a lemon and an orange with a floral edge. In Earl Grey it sits on top of a full-bodied black tea, so the cup reads bright and fragrant rather than sour.
