Description

Oil of bergamot and fine black tea give Earl Grey tea its distinctive flavor. Charles Grey, a British Earl and Prime Minister in the 1800s, was the first to popularize this blend. He served his signature tea at diplomatic events, and the upper crust of Britain instantly fell in love with the fragrant, citrus flavor. Now you can enjoy a taste of this history and keep your pinky raised.

This loose-leaf tea delivers rich bergamot flavor without bitterness, even when over-steeped. Customers said it's "smooth," "delightful," and "aromatic." Most praise its strong yet balanced taste, though one customer found the scent overwhelming. Many noted it's forgiving on brew time and works well for lattes or drinking black.

This Earl Grey is one of the worst tasting teas I

This Earl Grey is one of the worst tasting teas I have ever tasted. The smell from the bag is overwhelming and it follows through to the taste.
I have brewed 3 different strengths and all 3 taste the same.
Would not recommend this tea.

A must for earl grey people.

I needed a new earl grey. My last one was just not for me. So I tried this one. I really appreciate the taste and other subtle flavors in it. I feel that I have finally found my earl grey.

Top of the Top

Earl Grey is my preferred tea, but I typically opt for a varietal rather than plain Earl Grey, as while it is acceptable, traditional EG tend to provide an underwhelming flavor. However, Whistling Kettle Early Grey stands out as an exception, offering an exceptionally well-crafted tea. Their Earl Grey is delectable, devoid of the excessive flavor often found in other “extra” Earl Grey varieties. This tea is ideal for drinking black, allowing you to fully appreciate its smoothness.

This is delicious earl grey. I absolutely love it. Aromatic, rich and wonderful.

Earl Grey

This is very strongly scented and flavored bergamot black tea, but it is the pure flavoring and the quality of both the flavor and the tea is good. I like to make mine with extra milk and some vanilla syrup or sugar to make a London Fog style latte; the ingredients stand up to those additions very well. No bitterness.

Excellent EG!

Love this flavor of Earl Grey. No bitterness, and very pretty when potting! Still working out the exact brew for a strong flavor, but enjoying my testing process.

Blend of the gods

I start every day with 1 teaspoon EG Cream and one of EG Decaf in 16 oz of freshly boiled water from the electric kettle. It's the perfect blend of flavor with a gentle boost of caffeine. It gets me through my morning with a smile.

Perfect for a rainy day

This tea is so smooth, other earl grays can taste burnt or bitter, but this one never does. Highly recommend if you want to feel like you are cozied up in cabin with a fluffy blanket.

Perfect afternoon tea

I love Earl Grey tea, especially for an afternoon break. I also blend teas with Happy Valley Darjeeling for interesting flavor.

Keeps it's crisp taste.

I often put my morning pot of Whistling Pot Earl Grey in a thermos to take to work. Even at the very end, it smells and tastes practically fresh made.

WK Earl Grey is excellent

For anyone that loves Earl Grey, this offering is the best I've had. I have been drinking another brand for several years and only changed because I became irked by that company's constant social campaigning, regardless of whether I agreed or not, just sell tea, for Pete's sake! I am so glad I did. I am not well versed enough to describe the subtleties of flavor, just suffice to say that it is very refreshing. You will very much look forward to it.

One thing I could add is that it is very forgiving on the steeping time. I have had those teas that become bitter if over steeped, this is not one. Just yesterday, I forgot about my pot and it went a good 10 minutes or more....still smooth as silk, delicious.

Glad I found Whistling Kettle. It's a blessing to see folks work hard and make something. I want to be part of that.

Perfect cup of tea

Best Earl Grey ever. Just what you expect in an Earl Grey. Love the blue cornflower petals. Not only tastes great, but look and smells so inviting.

One of the best

A very good and flavorful Earl Grey. I would prefer a stronger tea and a more prominent citrus flavor. I steep it longer and add more tea than generally recommended.
Still a fine tea.

Good flavor and no bitterness

I enjoy the flavor of this tea. It has gotten better the more drink it. I like the flavor without any bitterness, even if it is allowed to steep too long.

Fantastic flavor

I love this tea. I drink it everyday. I've tried different brands and this is by far the best flavor there is. I even bought Bergamot plants for my garden because I love the smell of this tea so much. I drink so much of this tea I finally set up a subscription for it. If you like Earl Grey, this is the tea for you.

Irreplaceable Earl Grey

This tea is reminiscent of the most potent olfactory experience in view of the full bergamot flavor. I have tasted many other Earl Greys boasting of Earl Grey influence, but none have caught my fancy as much as did this particular blend. Some tainted the bergamot flavor with citrus; but this one is pure delight!

I'm usually not a fan of Earl Grey, but the lavender really changes the flavor and makes it good, even for me.

Wow

Brew it for 3-5 minutes for mild and flavorful, or brew it a little longer for bold and robust, but not bitter. An absolutely amazing Earl Grey!

Excellent

I am an earl grey fan and was looking for a new distributor, and so I have found one!! I was originally on a mission to find the perfect earl grey with lavender to make ice cream with and purchased the sampler. As I worked through this earl grey was my favorite and perfection. I am currently ordering more!! Try this one you will love it.

Classic Early Grey

Excellent earl grey - slightly stronger and more bergamot than that fancy mall tea shop which rhymes with "Nirvana." Good choice for any Earl Grey lover like myself.

Classic Black Tea

This is a great black tea that is a real classic. No household should be without some Earl Grey tea!
