شاي إيرل غراي

The loose leaves from Sri Lanka give this a rich, full-bodied depth that actually holds up to a second steep, which is rare for earl grey. I’ve been having it every afternoon and the citrus note stays bright without turning bitter.

The loose leaves are so full-bodied that one steep makes the whole kitchen smell like a proper tea house. I switched from bags to this blend and it’s a completely different, richer experience for my afternoon cup.

The loose leaves brew up a deep, full-bodied cup that actually holds up to a splash of milk without going weak. I do wish the bag had a resealable closure, but the Sri Lankan black tea base is bold enough for my 3 p.m. slump.
