• Details: This tea was in the original five teas that made up Harney & Sons' Historic Royal Palace tea line. The tin is a lovely blue that is reminiscent of the sapphires found in the Tower of London's Crown Jewels. Harney & Sons have blended a special Earl Grey for this occasion. It is stronger in body than the Earl Grey Supreme as a nod to our British cousins' taste for strong teas. The lemony bergamot is also stronger than other Earl Grey Teas.
• Dry Leaves: A mixture of black and brown leaves.
• Liquor: The liquor is a clear brown, tending toward russet.
• Aroma: The lemony aroma of bergamot from Italy comes through clearly.
• Flavors: In the later decades of the British Empire, the citrus flavors became synonymous with Earl Grey Tea. This tea is true to that heritage.
• Caffeine Level: Caffeinated
• Body: Medium-bodied, lightened by the addition of oolong tea.
• Brewing Time: 5 minutes
• Brewing Temp: 212º
