Earl "Charles" Grey (1764-1845) was Prime Minister of Great Britain in the early 1830's. During a visit to China he fell in love with a blend of teas scented with the oil from the peel of bergamot, which rapidly became perhaps the world's most famous tea.
True Earl Grey tea not only smells superb as you bring the cup to your mouth, but tastes the same as it passes over your palate. Try ours... it's famous world wide.

GREAT TEA !! Review by ['DS in USA']
First had Murchie's Earl Grey tea in Vancouver, Canada 7 years ago. Was instantly infatuated with its taste and smell. Have ordered many 100 bag batches since (i.e., 3 to 4 per year). The price is very reasonable and again, the flavor and smell are consistantly exceptional. With very few exceptions, have not drank any other tea in the past 7 years ... it's that good !! Have also converted many family members and friends to this tea to their great pleasure and satisfaction.

The best tea, having it twice a day. Picked it up on sale in Victoria this summer. Should have filled my suitcase!

I was in Victoria this spring and bought a box of 10 (among other things), intending to save as a possible gift. Eventually ended up opening it myself to make a London Fog. It was so good! And i have had many many London Fogs. I consumed it all myself over te next few weeks. Thank goodness I can order online. I will get a box of 100 and another as a gift.

I travel a lot. I've had Earl Grey tea in almost every country. I live in Southern California. I buy my Earl Grey tea from Murchies in Canada. The End.

Murchie's makes the best Earl Grey, hands down. All the others tends to be too over powering, too perfume'ish.

Steeping the Best (Guide)
Different types of teas should be steeped according to certain times and water temperatures to bring out their best flavours. Use this guide as a starting point, and then experiment until you find the perfect brewing method for your favourite tea.
Based on approximately one level teaspoon (2.5 g) of loose tea or one tea bag per 6-8 ounce (180-240 mL) cup. For stronger flavour, add more tea. Brewing for longer may increase the strength of the tea, but will likely also cause bitterness.
Tea Bags vs. Loose Tea
While our tea bags and loose tea are crafted to match the same flavour profile, there are discernable effects between the two formats. Namely, the leaves inside tea bags is milled, making it much finer and a quicker brew, while loose tea can take a couple minutes longer to steep. Tea bags are very convenient, but loose tea can be more visually appealing and brewed with a reusable infuser.
- Tea bags: steep for 3 - 4 minutes
- Loose tea: steep for 4 - 5 minutes
General Steeping Temperatures
The table included here shows some general guidelines for steeping different kinds of tea. Be mindful that some teas, even two from the same category, will brew differently than others. In particular, our green-black blends will often have different ratios of green and black teas - the more green-leaning ones should be brewed at a lower temperature range. Experimentation is highly encouraged, as tea is very much a matter of personal taste.
Puerh and oolong teas are often steeped multiple times for a shorter period of time in smaller brewing vessels. This method creates a curious exploration of the tea as it unfurls, developing new flavours with each subsequent brew - often making for great social conversation.
If you're unsure, try steeping in the middle range for your tea type. If the result is too bitter, steep at a lower temperature or for a shorter time. If the result is flat, try a higher temperature.
