Steenbergs Earl Grey. Steenbergs Organic Earl Grey Tea Loose Leaf is a deliciously light and fragrant classically scented organic black tea. Steenbergs Earl Grey tea comes from the Greenfield organic Tea Estate (the old estate name was Thotulagala) which lies between 5000ft and 6000ft above sea level in the Uva Highlands in central Sri Lanka.
Sri Lanka is a jewel of a tropical island, located just above the equator with perfect growing conditions for organic tea, the climate is temperate, but rainy. Uva tea is regarded by the Japanese as the best of all Ceylon teas and we tend to agree.
It produces a pale liquor with a slightly astringent taste that works very well with the flowery Bergamot flavour. Steenbergs Organic loose leaf Earl Grey uses Greenfield organic Orange Pekoe grade tea leaves as its base, which compliments the sweet, citrus flavour of bergamot oil. We only use 100% organic bergamot oil for flavouring. The story is that in 1830 the second Earl Grey was presented with the recipe for this tea during a diplomatic mission to China.
Steenbergs Organic Earl Grey is delicious and packed full of flavour on its own or served with sugar and/or milk or lemon.
Brewing tip: Use a warmed tea-pot and put 1 heaped teaspoon per person of organic Earl Grey tea leaves into the pot, add freshly boiled water and leave to infuse for 5 minutes.
Ingredients: organic Ceylon orange pekoe tea, organic bergamot oil.
