Tasting Notes: bergamot, vanilla cream, rose

Description: One of our most popular teas! A bold and decadent earl grey. We’ve blended together rich black tea with strong bergamot, vanilla, and a hint of floral rose. The result is a strong and aromatic creamy vanilla earl grey that can stand up well to milk and sugar.  

This sophisticated and fanciful tea is inspired by afternoon tea service at tea salons in Paris.  A remarkable tea that is rich, sultry, and decadent. Add milk and sugar to increase the decadent creamy notes. 

In comparison to our Earl Grey Crème, French Grey is a stronger more aromatic black tea. French Grey is a bold and rich earl grey.

Ingredients: black tea, bergamot, vanilla, cream flavor, rose petals, cornflowers

Steep Directions: steep 1 heaping teaspoon of tea per 8 oz boiling water, 205-212°F, for 3-5 minutes

John C. ★★★★★

The vanilla cream softens the bergamot just enough that I can drink this without any milk or sugar. I've gone through half the tin in two weeks, which says plenty.

Emma Z. ★★★★★

I was skeptical about the rose note since floral teas can go soapy, but it's just a whisper that rounds out the bergamot beautifully. The vanilla softens everything into a creamy, indulgent cup that makes my afternoon break feel like a proper treat.

James ★★★★★

The vanilla cream depth is what really sells this one—it softens the bergamot’s edge without drowning it out. I keep coming back to it mid-afternoon when I want something more indulgent than plain black tea.
