Earl Grey Premium is a timeless classic, crafted for those who appreciate a bright, elegant black tea with the unmistakable citrus aroma of bergamot. Made with quality Ceylon black tea from Sri Lanka, it delivers a smooth, full-bodied cup with the refined character that makes Earl Grey one of the world's most beloved teas.
Oil of bergamot gives the tea its signature fragrant citrus note, balancing beautifully with the brisk richness of the black tea base. Delicate cornflowers add a graceful visual touch, making the blend as attractive as it is aromatic.

Cornflower
Cornflower, also called bachelor's button, is a European wildflower that once grew freely in grain fields, which gave it its name. Its petals are prized for their striking blue color rather than a strong taste, offering only a faint, mild, slightly sweet floral note. You will often see cornflower scattered through Earl Grey and Lady Grey style black teas, as well as green tea and herbal blends. It makes any blend look as good in the tin as it tastes in the cup.
Bergamot oil is pressed from the peel of the bergamot orange, a small fragrant citrus grown mainly along the coast of Calabria in southern Italy. It has a bright, floral, slightly bitter citrus aroma that is more perfumed than lemon or orange. Bergamot oil is famous as the signature scent of Earl Grey and Lady Grey, and it also flavors green tea, rooibos and some herbal blends. Earl Grey is delicious with milk, or try it as a London Fog with steamed milk and vanilla.

Very different than their classic Earl grey! This one has a more delicate flavor due to the vanilla. It’s very nice doesn’t have that pungent citrus earl grey aroma. I love this one a lot. Both of them are fantastic earl greys. Will be repurchasing both the classic and the premium!

This is my classic fav! No bitterness at all even after overstepping!
Tealyra's customer service is excellent with super fast shipping too. 5 stars!!!

Excellent Blend! I found the trick is to get your water to a roiling boil then steep for 3-5 minutes MAX! Any longer and it will become bitter. Use a bigger teabag than you'd think, it helps to suspend the leaves and extract maximum flavor. A small splash of milk and some treacle and you are set!

Absolutely wonderful. Love the flavor and just enough caffeine for my liking!

Pretty good, floral, a little bitter for my taste. Good quality earl grey if you like ceylon black or regular Earl Grey. My favourite so far though is the Darjeeling Cream Earl Grey, nothing has beaten it so far.

The vanilla (which tastes pretty artificial) is way too overpowering in this tea. I honestly cannot taste the bergamot. Earl Grey is one of my favorite teas and this one is a significant disappointment.
If you don't love Earl Grey, you might still like this tea. It's quite earthy, reminding me of a honeybush tea for some reason.

This tea smells so good loose! Unfortunately that doesn't translate to the taste. I have tried every way of steeping this tea and can't get it to taste like anything other than weak plain black tea when left to steep 3 minutes. And if you oversteep if goes bitter. Would not repurchase.
