This Earl Grey Blue Flower tea is finer and more subtle than her Earl Grey counterpart.
Earl Grey Blue Flower tea is a modern invention, created by Twinings in the early 1990s to appeal to the Nordic market, which found Earl Grey tea too strong in flavour. Lady Grey differs from Earl Grey in that it contains additional lemon peel and orange peel. Our Earl Grey Blue Flower also includes cornflowers and mallow blossoms and originates from Ceylon.
This beautiful tin containing delicious tea makes an excellent gift, either for yourself or your loved ones.

Black Tea, like white and green tea, is made from the plant “Camellia sinensis”, and after picking the leaves are dried and then undergo oxidation, where enzymes are released that change the color and flavor of the leaves. Black teas take on a reddish to brownish hue when brewed. The flavours of black tea are more pronounced and fuller, and can include profiles like roasted, tannic, smooth, or biting.
