EARL GREY

DESIGN & INNOVATION
A study in contrasts — between citrus and smoke, light and depth, loose leaf to beautifully designed tins, there is an Earl Grey for every palate.

Steeped in Legacy

It begins, always, with bergamot — a singular motif, endlessly reimagined. Earl Grey — familiar to most in its black tea form — holds a story richer than its reputation. Early renditions are believed to have been crafted from a high-quality tea.

A quiet detail that reshapes our understanding of this iconic blend: Earl Grey teas are, in fact, not contingent on a type of tea, but rather on the presence of bergamot — a fragrant citrus fruit, originally from Asia. This extraordinary extract opens new possibilities across tea varieties.


From citrus to tea leaf to legend, the tea also carries a name — Charles Grey, the Second Earl Grey and British Prime Minister, is said to have acquired this distinctive blend as a diplomatic gift from a Chinese tea master — a rare union of a rare tea and bergamot. In his aristocratic circles, such a gift carried both refinement and symbolism, bridging East and West in a single cup.

As the tea journeyed across continents, its composition was defined as a black tea, already prized for its depth and resilience on long sea voyages, became the preferred base. And so, the storied Earl Grey we recognise today was born — an evolution steeped as much in legacy as in taste.

The Art of Citrus

Today, the finest bergamot is grown in southern Italy and is the soul of Earl Grey. Instantly recognisable yet endlessly nuanced, its citrus-floral fragrance becomes extraordinary only in the hands of master blenders. At TWG Tea, only the finest fruits are chosen at the height of their season, their zest alive with clarity and promise.

The process is a ritual in itself: handpicked from fragrant groves, the fruit is washed, sorted, and gently pressed, releasing the first bright notes of its precious extract. The essence is captured drop by drop, cold-pressed to preserve its vibrancy — a craft that safeguards the fruit’s natural brilliance. What remains is pure bergamot extract, a rare distillation of sun, soil, and tradition. 

Over the years, visionary TWG Tea innovators have taken on the challenge to blend bergamot extract — the characteristic heart note of all Earl Grey teas — with a myriad varieties of whole leaf teas, together with a master’s selection of fruits, flowers and spices, to delight and tantalise the senses of every tea drinker.

In every infusion, this extract becomes the defining note — luminous, layered, and enduring. A fragrance brimming with vitality and refinement, it lingers long after the last sip.

Blending Heritage and Modernity

Rooted in tradition, reimagined for today — TWG Tea transforms the iconic Earl Grey into an exploration of flavour, craft, and creativity. Each exceptional Earl Grey is a chapter in a timeless story, honouring tradition while unveiling new expressions. The TWG Tea Earl Grey Tea Collection has grown to seventeen classic blends — the world’s largest. Between citrus and smoke, light and depth, loose leaf to beautifully designed tins, there is an Earl Grey for every palate.

The latest addition to the iconic Haute Couture Tea Collection, Grand Earl Grey is an aromatic portrait steeped in legacy, crafted for the modern connoisseur. It unfolds with rare Calabrian bergamot — a classic hero, now redefined — married to leaves of rich, golden Yunnan black tea and Tahitian vanilla bean. Carefully sourced by TWG Tea connoisseurs, the finest bergamot lends this tea a warm and sunny aroma that finishes with a hint of sweetness.

Yet Earl Grey reveals itself in many moods: the crystalline lightness of White Earl Grey, where Yin Zhen white tea unfurls with citrus and mineral grace; the playful lift of Earl Grey Buddha, weaving green tea with bergamot, lime, and a whisper of flowers; and the grounded gravitas of Earl Grey Pu-Erh, resonant with earthy depth, lifted by lingering zest.

Whether steeped in heritage or infused with modern flair, each TWG Tea blend is a chapter in the story of Earl Grey: timeless, expressive, ever evolving.
