Royal Grey is a simple, sophisticated blend that doesn't require flowers to draw you in. The aroma of sugared berries entices, tasting of black currants and cream before trailing into the familiar citrusy bergamot. Not a heavy tea and it makes a great afternoon brew and feels instantly timeless. Served in dainty China or favourite mug, with a good book or friends.
It smells of berries and sugar, like sugared fruit. The taste is fruit-forward, juicy black currant hitting first, followed by citrusy bergamot that lingers and grounds the blend; vanilla smooths it out with a comforting creamy note.
Loose Tea Ingredients: Black tea (Ceylon, Keemun, Darjeeling, Nepal), natural and artificial flavouring

A Must Have Tea! Review by DD
My family thinks I'm nuts because I like to breathe in the amora from the Royal Grey tea bag while waiting on the kettle. It is my new favorite! There is a deep rich berry flavor, not a sweet berry flavor because the vanilla and bergamot have balanced out any overly sugary tone. Non-Earl Grey(EG) drinkers will like this tea because the bergamot is quite subtle. Royal Grey is a great tea for those looking for a refreshing tea that isn't too fruity, too EG, or too vanilla cream..it is just right!

Flavors of current, bergamot, and fine teas blended to provide a rounded and satisfying flavor profile standing up both hot and cold! Marvelously satisfying with summer's nibbles!

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.
