From my first cup of Rare Earl Grey there was no going back! It’s gentle flavour and citrus hit is the one that greets me in the morning and is just as welcome mid afternoon as a moment to stop and enjoy it’s perfectly balanced tinge of bergamot. I had to become a subscriber so it’s always on hand - thanks RT team for the recommend!

SINGLE ESTATE
The Number One Earl Grey
Rare Earl Grey is the culmination of many years of blending to create the ultimate expression of a British classic. Described by the Financial Times as the "number one Earl Grey" in the world.
Malawi
The Satemwa Estate
Blended from teas lovingly grown and made on a farm called Satemwa on Thyolo Mountain in the Shire Highlands of Malawi. Satemwa is the oldest tea estate in Malawi, still run by the same family - Alex is the 3rd generation Kay to look after the garden.
No artificial flavours
Real Italian Bergamot
Made from a blend of hand-crafted orthodox tea and top quality bergamot (a natural cross between a bitter orange and a lemon), Rare Earl Grey uses the natural citrus oil to subtly scent the tea rather than drown it in chemical flavours.
We do not add any blue corn flowers, which might look pretty but do not impart any flavour. We do not add any pieces of citrus skin to bulk up the weight of the tea. This is an Earl Grey in its purest form.
