The Classic Reimagined

This is a quintessential Earl Grey. If you've only had a grocery store blend of this style, this will have the same flavor profile, but turned up from barely there to fully present. Lots of bergamot will be the first thing you notice, but the black tea underneath provides a strong foundation. I already recommended this blend to a friend who loves double-bergamot Earl Greys. Unfortunately, this very much reminded me that I don't particularly care for classic Earl Grey blends.

A fave & definitely an essential

Earl Grey is hands-down my favorite tea, so I was thrilled to see this added to the August Tea lineup. I’ve had disappointing Earl Grays from other sources, and adequate Earl Grays often enough. It’s deceptively simple, but requires the perfect blend of the right black tea and quality bergamot. August Tea’s Earl Grey is delicately balanced and lovely, which makes you realize the other Earl Greys you’ve been drinking don’t hold a candle. Try adding a bit of lavender syrup and oat milk for a treat.

Tea, Earl Grey, Hot

Or, try it iced. Or, add some milk. I enjoy it all these ways. However, my favorite it hot with a bit of honey. That makes it a bit of heaven.

The grandfather of all tea in the Western world: Earl Grey. Truly a staple for any tea lover's collection. This one moves all other brands of Earl Grey to the back of my pantry! Bold and smooth and not any bitterness,

I enjoy this essential tea as my first tea of the morning. What's nice is that I can get several strong infusions without the taste becoming bitter. This is a premium tea I can enjoy all morning long.

Perfect.

Earl Grey has always been a favorite of mine, but the store brands are typically disappointing. When I had the chance to try August’s version I was excited. It’s perfect - full bodied, smooth, and tasty. I love it.
