Loose Leaf Earl Grey Imperial Tea by Babingtons Blends 100g - Earl Grey Tea

A traditional, intense blend of black tea and bergamot, enriched with lemon peel and vibrant flowers.

Babingtons’ version of the world’s most famous black scented tea, the Imperial Earl Grey is an intense and citrussy, yet very well balanced, all-natural blend.

Like all Babingtons Blends, the Imperial Earl Grey recipe is unique and prepared with carefully sourced ingredients, coming from trusted suppliers, mixed and packed in the United Kingdom.

Earl Grey Tea is the most recognized scented tea in the world. Its origins go back to the mid 1800’s, its uniqueness to be found in the combination of black tea and bergamot fruit.

When creating our Imperial Earl Grey, we wanted a bergamot tea in which the flavour of the tea wasn’t overwhelmed by the scent of the other ingredients. As a base we chose a Ceylon black tea from Sri Lanka to which we then added bergamot essence, lemon peel and flower petals, to make our blend delicious and good looking!
