Cream of Earl Grey black tea makes for a delicious London Fog with a teaspoon of real Canadian maple syrup and steamed milk.

 

The Birth of a New Classic

Cream of Earl Grey, often known as Earl Grey's posh cousin, begins with the traditional Earl Grey base—black tea infused with bergamot oil. But here’s the twist: it's enhanced with vanilla and cream flavors, giving it a rich, velvety texture that’s both comforting and indulgent. It’s like the classic Earl Grey dressed up for a gala—sophisticated, elegant, and irresistibly charming.

 

A Symphony of Flavours

The first sip of Cream of Earl Grey is a revelation. The familiar citrusy notes of bergamot blend seamlessly with the smooth, sweet hints of vanilla and cream. It's a harmonious balance that elevates the tea experience to a whole new level. Whether you enjoy it black, with a splash of milk, or as a latte, each cup is a creamy, dreamy escape from the ordinary.

 

The Perfect Companion for Every Occasion

Cream of Earl Grey is not just a tea; it’s a versatile companion. It’s the perfect pick-me-up on a lazy morning, the ideal partner for a mid-afternoon break, and a comforting embrace on a chilly Canadian evening. Pair it with a sweet treat, and you’ve got yourself a match made in heaven.

 

A Tea for Everyone

What’s truly wonderful about Cream of Earl Grey is its appeal to a wide range of palates. Whether you're a long-time Earl Grey lover or new to the world of tea, this blend is approachable yet sophisticated. Its smoothness makes it a great introductory tea for those just beginning their tea journey, while its complexity keeps seasoned tea drinkers coming back for more.

 

Brewing the Perfect Cup

To fully enjoy the Cream of Earl Grey experience, brewing it right is key. Start with fresh, cold water and bring it to a boil. Use about one teaspoon of tea per cup and steep for 3-5 minutes. This allows the flavours to fully develop, creating that perfect balance between the boldness of black tea, the zing of bergamot, and the creamy sweetness.

 

Conclusion

Cream of Earl Grey is more than just a tea—it's an experience. It's a testament to the idea that even the most traditional flavors can be reinvented in the most delightful ways. So, why not treat yourself to this creamy wonder? Who knows, it might just become your new favourite!
