London Lapsang Earl Grey – Smoky Earl Grey with Bergamot & CardamomOur London Lapsang Earl Grey is a mysteriously aromatic black tea that combines the campfire smokiness of Lapsang Souchong with the classic bergamot citrus of Earl Grey. A touch of fresh cardamom and bright blue cornflowers complete this distinctly smooth, smoky and sophisticated blend. Smoky Lapsang Souchong has a long, storied history. It originated in China many centuries ago, and legend has it that its signature smokiness was first discovered by accident, when tea leaves were exposed to the smoke of wood fires. Today, that refined smokiness is created deliberately by withering fresh leaves over an open fire before they're pan-fired, rolled and oxidized. For this blend, we pair that smoky character with bergamot, cardamom and cornflowers for a truly unique twist on Earl Grey. Tasting Notes
Why You'll Love ItLondon Lapsang Earl Grey is perfect for anyone who loves Earl Grey but wants something bolder and more intriguing. The smoke adds depth and warmth, the bergamot keeps it bright, and the cardamom ties everything together with a subtle spiced note.
How to EnjoyEnjoy it plain or with a splash of milk on a cool afternoon. It pairs wonderfully with savory breakfasts, smoked salmon, aged cheeses and dark chocolate, and makes an intriguing base for tea cocktails. Mysterious, smoky and beautifully balanced, London Lapsang Earl Grey is Earl Grey with a bold new personality. |

A little steeping tipUse freshly boiled water and keep an eye on the clock: steeping past the suggested time brings out a drier, more astringent cup.
