tea tempestinateapot | Mrs. Grey - 4 oz loose tea - a soften black tea with citrus and lavender. So lovely!

Mrs. Grey is a smooth sophisticated black tea blend with fragrant oil of bergamot blended with additional orange, lemon and lavender.  Bergamot is the oil from the rind of a bergamot orange that gives this black tea a unique fruity flavor. 

The black tea base of Mrs. Grey Tea is a full-bodied black tea leaves from a plantation in India.  As Mrs. Grey is steeped, the leaves open to the size of a dime, giving a soft fruity flavor.

We created a unique blend by adding orange, lemon and lavender to the already wonderful base of our Mr. Grey.  Although we love our Mr. Grey tea blend, adding additional fruits and overlaying that with lavender, makes Mrs. Grey softer and more luxurious a cup of tea.    

Earl Grey teas became well known by the British royals drinking them with morning and afternoon meals.  The smoothness of this tea, creates a space for relaxation and rejuvenation.
