Victorian Earl Grey Tea - WS
Earl Grey teas, traditionally, were blends comprised of varying black teas with Bergamot oil added to them. Today, any tea (green, white, herbal) that is sprayed with Bergamot oil is known as Earl Grey (such as our Emerald Green Earl Grey and Rooibos Earl Grey.).
Take a step back into the past with this floral blend. This tea is a sensational mixture of Rose Congou black tea, rose petals, lavender, rosemary and high quality bergamot oil. A top seller, Victorian Earl Grey tea brews to an amber cup that has a sweet, floral taste that is adored by old and young alike. The aroma of the brewed tea is slightly earthy and woodsy from the rosemary and lavender, and while the brewed tea has this taste as well, it is rounded out with the citrus taste of bergamot and the sweet rose petals.
Bergamot oil comes from the rind of the bergamot orange, which grows on the citrus tree Citrus bergamia. The oil expressed from the rind is used, in addition to making Earl Grey tea blends, quite frequently in the cosmetic industry. Bergamot oil can be found in soaps, lotions, oils and perfumes and has been said to help alleviate depression as well as used as a digestive aid and used to help skin irregularities (such as psoriasis).
Earl Grey tea is a favorite with bakers in many culinary recipes. It goes especially well with cakes, cookies, confections and any recipe with chocolate!
Brew tea at 212º - steep for 3 minutes.
Ingredients: Rose Congou black tea, lavender petals, rose petals, rosemary and natural bergamot oil.

This is so aromatic and beautiful. I'd wear this like perfume if I could.
I bought this tea (originally) for the bi-centennial. However, since then I keep buying it because of how much I love it. It is light and slightly floral (without being too florally). I don't usually like earl grey tea (not a fan of the bergamot) however this tea will surprise you. The combination of the other flavors create the perfect balance of floral and earthy mixed with the comfort of earl grey.
This blend is remarkable. Tea, (good tea), is not just something you taste or use to rouse you when you wake, it is an experience to look forward to, something to tantalize the senses. S&V Victorian Earl Grey delivers on every level. Others have stated that the bergamot is on the light side, there is however enough, but it is on the back end. From the moment you open this tea the scent transports you to a different place and time, takes you on a journey. Yes, that's how good this is. This tea is layered and there is so much going on and therefore so much to enjoy. If you're EG fan you MUST try this tea!
I have to admit my favorite Victorian Earl Grey is still Harney and Son's London Fog. But S and V's Victorian Earl Grey is still sure to please. I just wouldn't label it Earl Grey. I can barely taste the Bergemot but feels more like a variant of their traditional Rose Cougou. This is indeed a lovely elegant tea with a Victorian feel. I find the scent very relaxing and I like to enjoy while revisiting Penny Dreadful, or Downtown Abbey. I'm impressed with S and V's huge variety of unique blends all are high quality. The tea arrived quickly and beautifully packaged. I have a few of the air tight ceramic S and V jars for my teas as well. Great company.
I love this blend.Its complex and intriguing with citrus but also the rosemary and rose.Wonderful together and delicious.Love hot and iced.
