Earl Grey Classic, 15 Whole Leaf Silky Tea Bags, 37.5g

British Prime Minister Earl Grey gave his name to this hugely popular tea back in the 1830s, and has since been thought of as a classic English afternoon tea. Its flavour is made up of simple black tea flavoured with stimulating oil of bergamot.

These innovative pyramid bags are spacious enough to hold whole leaves rather than the small cut tea in regular tea bags. This makes a difference to the quality of the brew because whole leaf tea has more flavour and complexity.
