Full Description

Royal Grey is our elevated take on Earl Grey, inspired by Lady Grey but designed to deliver a brighter, more complex cup. It combines the familiar character of Earl Grey with additional citrus and floral elements to create a visually striking and aromatic tea with more depth and enhanced citrus notes.

The base of Royal Grey is our Ceylon black tea, to which we add natural bergamot oil, orange and lemon peels, and blue cornflower petals.

Royal Grey is versatile in preparation. It can be enjoyed hot or iced, with or without milk, lemon, or sugar. The blend’s complexity and appearance make it a refined choice for those looking for a more distinctive version of the classic Earl Grey experience.

Blue cornflower petals are included for visual appeal in the dry blend. While they do not influence the infusion itself, they create a striking, elegant appearance in the tea before brewing.

The interplay of these elements defines the character of Royal Grey. The result is a blend that is aromatic, layered, a
