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.

The best Earl Grey tea Review by Mandy - devoted Murchie's tea lover
This Earl Grey tea is the best Earl Grey tea in the market. With its perfect blend and beautiful fragrance which is not overpowering but pleasant, this tea makes a heartwarming cup of tea which I look forward to each day.
Posted on 2024-11-24GREAT 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.

I’ve never drank a tea as wonderfully flavourful and fragrant as Murchies. Makes a thoughtful gift!

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

I discovered this tea by accident when I visited British Columbia in the 1990's. It's been shipped to my home in California for over 20 years! I never found anything close to the quality and taste of this blend so I stopped looking. Why ignore perfection?

This is one of my go to breakfast teas. Complex and smooth. Versatile to accommodate many tea moods. I like it with another one of my favorite Canadian products :) , Ripple milk.

Posted on 2019-11-19Gotta Have It!! Review by Donna Von
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.

Posted on 2018-09-12Finest Earl Grey Tea Review by Roxanne
A coworker gave me a box of your Earl Grey. The fragrance is remarkable but the moment I tasted it I knew it was the most superb tea I had ever enjoyed. The superiority of your Earl Grey is clearly unmistakable. If I were to rate Murchie's Earl Grey as a 10, every other brand would get a 3 at best. Thankfully, your website was easy to find, and ordering is simple.

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.
Posted on 2015-11-23Nectar of the Gods Review by MFM
Murchie's Earl Grey tea truly is the nectar of the gods. It is the ONLY Earl Grey tea I drink. I have my mug every morning and have had for more than 20 years. There is nothing like it. It is my daily piece of heaven.
Posted on 2013-05-08Our Favorite - Delicious! Review by ML
I tried this tea when I was in your tea shop in Victoria, really enjoyed it and took some home to California with me. My husband and I really enjoy it, so full flavored and aromatic. It makes excellent iced tea also. Thank you for a fantastic tea!
Posted on 2013-04-01Excellent! Review by Long time Murchie tea addict
I have been consuming their teas for as long as I can ever remember. Murchies tea has been a long time staple in my life of being a tea drinker. It began as a special treat, my dad brought back a bunch of samples from Vancouver BC which then turned into a life long addiction to the brand and the product. I would be lost without these guys. This and all of their other teas I have tried are very special and unique in the tea trade. Their Earl Gray is the absolute tops!
Posted on 2013-03-11The very best Review by PT
I have sampled several high end Earl Grays over the years and Murchie's is our hand's down blend of choice for ourselves and my mother in law as well. Never get's bitter and has a unique flavour that is strong and mellow at the same time. The fragrance is out of this world!. Definitely on our "comfort foods" list.
Posted on 2012-11-19Best Earl Grey Tea Review by JP
Murchie's Earl Grey Tea is the best! The flavour is the best I've found. I like a strong cup of tea and like to steep it a long time but other Earl Grey teas turn bitter if steeped too long. This tea never has a bitter taste, even if I leave the tea bag in my cup the whole time I'm enjoying my tea. The flavour gets stronger but not bitter.
Posted on 2012-10-05Great Go To Tea! Review by Kyla - Murchie's Team Member
This is my favorite go to Tea. It has everything you need for a perfect afternoon cup of tea on its own, or to pair with a treat. I love how full the flavor is.

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.
