Description

Go bolder with Russian Earl Grey, an intensified version of the classic Earl Grey tea. Orange peel, lemongrass, and blue cornflowers elevate the usual blend of black tea and bergamot. This medley of citrus and floral notes creates a symphony of flavor. Brew it strong, Russian style, with a bit of milk and sweetener.

This Earl Grey blend features citrus notes from lemongrass and orange peel, creating a "multi note flavor" customers praise as "robust" yet "mellower" than traditional versions. Most find it "approachable" and "flavorful," though one customer noted a chemical aftertaste. Precise steeping matters; oversteeped tea may have overpowering citrus. Works well plain or with cream.

Artificial and "off" flavor

I really wanted to like these, but the flavor is completely off. The Earl Grey blends have a very strong, chemical aftertaste that lingers. It doesn’t taste like natural bergamot oil; it tastes like a lab-made fragrance. Given the high price point, I expected a much higher quality leaf and flavoring. To make matters worse, their support wasn't helpful when I raised a quality concern. Plenty of better tea brands out there for this price.

So good!!

This was a really interesting take on Earl Grey! The lemongrass gave it such a unique flavor! It's very aromatic and has a strong citrus flavor. I tried it plain at first and then added a splash of cream and it was good both ways. I really enjoyed this one!

Great coffee alternative

Quit coffee and discovered the world of tea. This is an approachable blend for those ready to quit the bean.

Russian Earl Grey for the long haul

My preferred Earl Grey. I've tried other decent variations but this one hasn't gotten old. It's a multi note flavor. I brew it with an equal amount of Decaf Earl Grey and love the results.

Great Lady Grey Replacement

My wife and I both like ye olde original Lady Grey tea. This is a wonderful replacement and so much better on so many levels than your typical bag tea in a box. We are relatively new to loose leaf tea and in our opinion Russian Earl Grey is a real winner. I highly recommend this tea if you like a subtle citrusy note with your black tea.

Back again

Back to Whistling Kettle again after trying two more tea purveyors,Milwaukee and Cambridge MA.
This Russian Earl Gray is flavorful with hints of both orange and lemon. As I prefer stronger black teas I somehow blend it with German Breakfast or the like to provide a stronger black tea taste,but the citrus and other flavors make this a fine addition to my tea options.

Flavor is the best!

I have tried many different brands and this tea is the best! I have found the flavor of my dreams and will not drink anything else

Russian Earl Grey Tea

I love Earl Grey Cream tea, so I decided to give this tea a try. It reminds me of a chai tea mixed with Earl Grey and I didn't care for the flavor. Too much going on at once. I tried it with and without milk, but I will stick to my other Earl Greys.

Once brewed, enjoy a hint of citrus without adding lemon. I have made this my daily breakfast drink.

Russian Earl Grey

I first began drinking Russian Earl Grey in Iceland. When I returned to the USA I was unable to find it UNTIL coming across The Whistling Kettle! Thank you Whistling Kettle for carrying my favorite tea!

Good tea

I like this tea. Earl Grey is my favorite and the Russian Earl grey is a nice twist on my favorite. The lemongrass and the orange peel add a nice hint of flavor.

Floral grassy awesomeness

This is totally delicious. The lemon doesn't hit you in the face but instead is a lovely floral grassiness (oh hi lemongrass) and TWK's blend is just great. And I actually enjoy the changes in flavor between the precise steeping time to well over steeped - it still works, which is great when I forget to drink the last cup in the teapot! YUM!

great blend

I have been getting my Russian Earl Grey from the Santa Fe Tea house, but they are closed or a while. Your Russian is just as good, and in fact, I'm wondering if they don't get theirs from you!
Anyway, thank you, it's a lovely tea!

Robust Earl Grey

This is a much more fragrant and bold version of the traditional Earl Grey. It has become my favorite.

Excellent mix. Much more intense flavor than Twinning Earl Gray which has been a staple for many years. I discovered Riussian Earl Gray on a recent 2 month stay in Spain where it appears to be easily available. This mix is very close to that blend. So far everyone I've introduced this to has rated it as first class. I agree with the comment that precise steeping time is important to its flavor outcome.

The citrus flavors make this one of my favorites. It's also delicious blended with the Earl Grey Cream, softening and enhancing the flavors all at once.

Love this twist

I am a huge fan of earl grey, but I didn't mind this shift from the fundamentals. The lemongrass is lovely, but if you are not precise with your steeping (4 minutes and 45 seconds for me) the city's notes can be a bit overpowering.

Earl Grey With A Twist

Wonderful Earl Grey flavor with just a little different twist. Ear Grey teas have always been one of my favorites and this variety is one of the best!

Citrus Notes

If you like citrus notes with your earl grey you will appreciate this tea. I am not a citrus in my tea or water person, so I didn't enjoy it as much as my co-worker does she raved how great it was and finished my sample off immediately. I will say for a tea with citrus it is very good, just not my cup of tea no fault to the tea leaves or blend its just my tastes. Try it an enjoy!!

I really enjoy Earl Grey, and with the addition of orange flavor and a little vanilla, it just takes it to a whole new level!
