Adding a squeeze of yuzu for a light and citrusy redux of the classic Earl Grey. Native to east Asia, yuzu is often described as tasting like a cross between a mandarin orange and a grapefruit. We think this is an apt description. Bright and flavourful, it balances masterfully with bergamot and lemon, leaving you with a refreshing tea (hot or iced!) that's modern and new but still unmistakably an Earl Grey. This one's sure to be a classic.
Tasting Notes: The flavours dominate but don’t overpower the tea, and the Darjeeling and Ceylon come through fresh and a bit biscuity. Medium-bodied, brisk, with top notes of bright mandarin, sweet orange and grapefruit, and an aftertaste of bergamot. This tea is even more citrusy as it cools, making a very refreshing iced tea.
Ingredients: Black tea (Keemun, Darjeeling, Nepal, Ceylon), calendula petals, orange peel, natural and artificial flavouring, bergamot oil.

Nice, light variation on Earl Grey Review by ['Amy']
Yuzu seems to be a trending flavor, so I was a little doubtful about this tea, but it turns out to be an extremely pleasant, well-balanced tea with a nice tang of citrus. The yuzu provides some grapefruit notes in a nice way. I like it hot, but could see it as a very nice iced tea as well.

I love yuzu and I love Earl Grey, so of course I had to try this one! It's a lovely lighter-tasting black tea - as the weather warms up I've found myself reaching for it a lot. Perfectly balanced, a refreshing afternoon drink.

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.
