One of the world's most beloved tea styles, reimagined with authentic ingredients and genuine wellness benefits. Approximately 30-32 servings per pack at ₹249. Free eco-friendly bamboo toothbrush included with every order.
What is Earl Grey Tea?
Earl Grey is one of the world's most iconic tea blends — a black tea scented with bergamot oil, the fragrant citrus extract from the rind of the bergamot orange (Citrus bergamia). Named after British Prime Minister Charles Grey, Earl Grey has been enjoyed for nearly 200 years as a sophisticated, aromatic alternative to plain black tea.
Our version uses Assam black tea as the base — delivering the bold, malty, full-bodied character that Assam is famous for — then scents it with natural bergamot oil for the signature citrus aroma, and adds dried blue cornflower petals for a floral visual finish and gentle anti-inflammatory benefit.
The combination of Assam's strength, bergamot's brightness, and cornflower's delicate floral note creates a perfectly balanced cup — complex enough for tea enthusiasts, accessible enough for everyday drinking.
Earl Grey Black Tea Ingredients
What's Inside Every Cup
Ingredient | Why It's Included |
Assam Black Tea | Bold, malty, full-bodied base — rich in antioxidants and natural caffeine |
Bergamot Oil | Natural citrus extract — signature Earl Grey aroma, calming and digestive benefits |
Blue Cornflower Petals | Anti-inflammatory, visual appeal, gentle floral note and natural detox support |
Why Assam Black Tea as the Base?
Not all Earl Grey teas are created equal. The quality of the base black tea determines the quality of the final blend. We chose Assam black tea specifically because:
- Bold and malty — Assam's characteristic maltiness pairs perfectly with bergamot's citrus brightness, creating balance rather than competition
- Full-bodied — Assam produces a rich, satisfying cup that can be enjoyed with or without milk
- High in antioxidants — Assam black tea is rich in theaflavins and thearubigins — antioxidants unique to black tea
- Natural caffeine — Assam provides a strong, sustained caffeine boost making this blend an excellent coffee alternative
- Authentic character — Assam is one of the world's great tea-producing regions — its bold flavour is what traditional Earl Grey is built on
Why Natural Bergamot Oil?
Many mass-market Earl Grey teas use artificial bergamot flavouring — synthetic compounds that mimic the aroma without any of the wellness benefits. Our blend uses natural bergamot oil — cold-pressed from the rind of bergamot oranges — which delivers:
- The authentic, complex citrus aroma that defines genuine Earl Grey
- Natural antioxidant compounds from the bergamot fruit
- Real aromatherapeutic calming benefits — not synthetic approximations
Why Blue Cornflower Petals?
Blue cornflower petals (Centaurea cyanus) are a traditional addition to premium Earl Grey blends — included for both visual beauty and genuine wellness benefits:
- Visual distinction — the vivid blue petals are visible in the loose leaf blend — a sign of quality and authenticity
- Anti-inflammatory — cornflower has natural anti-inflammatory properties
- Mild diuretic — traditionally used to support kidney health and natural detox
- Floral balance — the delicate floral note softens the bergamot citrus for a more rounded flavour profile

How to Brew the Perfect Cup of Earl Grey Black Tea
Standard Brewing Method
- Heat water to 95–100°C — unlike green tea, Assam black tea benefits from near-boiling water
- Add 1 heaped teaspoon of Earl Grey blend per cup (approximately 2.5g)
- Steep for 3–4 minutes — shorter for a lighter citrusy cup, longer for a bolder malty brew
- Strain using a tea infuser or strainer
- Serve plain, with a slice of lemon, or with a splash of milk
With Milk — The Classic Method
- Brew as above for 4 minutes for a stronger concentration
- Add a splash of warm milk — the tannins in Assam black tea pair beautifully with milk
- Sweeten with honey or sugar to taste
- Earl Grey with milk is one of Britain's most beloved morning tea rituals
Iced Earl Grey — London Fog Style
- Brew double strength — 2 teaspoons in 200ml of water at 95°C for 4 minutes
- Cool completely or pour over ice
- Add cold milk or oat milk and a teaspoon of honey
- Serve over ice for a refreshing iced Earl Grey latte

Earl Grey Tea Side Effects — Drink Mindfully
Who Should Be Cautious
Earl Grey black tea is safe for most people when consumed in moderation. However be aware if you:
- Are sensitive to caffeine — Assam black tea is high in caffeine — avoid after 6pm and limit to 2 cups per day
- Take blood pressure medication — bergamot polyphenols may interact with some cardiovascular medications
- Are pregnant or breastfeeding — high caffeine black tea should be consumed in moderation — consult your doctor
- Have iron deficiency — black tea tannins can inhibit iron absorption — drink between meals rather than with food
- Have anxiety or insomnia — the caffeine content may worsen these conditions if consumed in large quantities
Safe Daily Amount
1–2 cups per day is the recommended amount to enjoy all the benefits safely. Earl Grey is a high-caffeine tea — more than green tea, similar to coffee per cup. If you're switching from coffee, Earl Grey is an excellent transition — start with 1 cup in the morning and see how you feel.

Product FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)
Q1: What is Earl Grey tea? ⌄
Earl Grey is a black tea scented with bergamot oil — the fragrant citrus extract from the rind of bergamot oranges. Named after British Prime Minister Charles Grey, it has been one of the world's most popular tea blends for nearly 200 years. Our version uses bold Assam black tea as the base, natural bergamot oil for the signature citrus aroma, and blue cornflower petals for floral balance.
Q2: Why does Earl Grey have bergamot in it? ⌄
Bergamot oil was traditionally added to black tea to complement and enhance the flavour — the citrus brightness of bergamot balances the bold maltiness of black tea. Beyond flavour, bergamot has genuine wellness benefits including digestive support, anxiety relief, and cardiovascular health properties that make it a functional addition, not just an aromatic one.
Q3: Does Earl Grey tea contain caffeine? ⌄
Yes — Earl Grey is made from Assam black tea which is high in caffeine — more than green tea, roughly similar to a standard cup of coffee. This makes it an excellent morning tea and coffee alternative. Avoid drinking after 6pm if you are sensitive to caffeine.
Q4: Can I add milk to Earl Grey tea? ⌄
Yes — Earl Grey with milk is a classic British tea tradition. The bold Assam base holds up beautifully to milk. Brew slightly stronger than usual (4 minutes), then add a splash of warm milk. Oat milk or almond milk also work well for a dairy-free option. Avoid adding lemon and milk together — the acid will curdle the milk.
Q5: What are blue cornflower petals doing in Earl Grey tea? ⌄
Blue cornflower petals (Centaurea cyanus) are a traditional premium Earl Grey ingredient — included for visual beauty, gentle floral balance, and wellness benefits. The vivid blue petals visible in the loose leaf are a sign of quality and authenticity. Cornflower also has anti-inflammatory and mild diuretic properties that complement the black tea and bergamot.
Q6: Is Earl Grey tea good for digestion? ⌄
Yes — bergamot oil has been studied for its role in reducing intestinal spasm and supporting gut motility. Earl Grey is traditionally enjoyed after meals in Britain specifically for digestive support. Black tea tannins also have mild antimicrobial properties that support gut health.
Q7: Can I use Earl Grey as a coffee alternative? ⌄
Yes — Earl Grey made from Assam black tea is one of the best coffee alternatives available. The Assam base delivers a strong, bold caffeine boost similar to coffee. The bergamot's aromatherapeutic calming effect prevents the jitteriness some people experience from coffee. With milk it closely replicates the experience of a morning coffee.
Q8: Is Earl Grey tea safe during pregnancy? ⌄
We recommend consulting your doctor before consuming during pregnancy or breastfeeding. Assam black tea is high in caffeine — generally advised to limit caffeine during pregnancy. Bergamot oil in moderate tea quantities is generally considered safe but discuss with your healthcare provider.
Q9: How do I brew Earl Grey without it getting bitter? ⌄
Unlike green tea, Earl Grey actually benefits from near-boiling water (95–100°C). The key to avoiding bitterness is steeping time — no more than 3–4 minutes. Over-steeping releases excess tannins creating astringency and bitterness. Remove the infuser promptly when time is up.
Q10: How many servings does one 80g pack make? ⌄
One 80g pack makes approximately 32 cups using 1 heaped teaspoon (2.5g) per cup. At 1–2 cups per day, one pack lasts 16–32 days — making it excellent value at ₹249 per pack.
