Meet the farmer
An elevated version of Earl Grey made from organic Red Jade black tea layered with hand-shredded bergamot strips for a bold, uplifting aroma.
Why we love it:
- Most Earl Grey is made of crushed black tea and bergamot oil. Our version is made with a fruity whole leaf black tea from Taiwan called Red Jade and hand-shredded strips of bergamot for a bolder flavour.
- It's organic. In fact, it's produced by Katie Yen’s permaculture farm in Taiwan’s scenic Sun Moon Lake region. They grow a border of bergamot around the tea plants as a natural pesticide, and they use the bergamot in the tea itself.
- Red Jade is Taiwan's most famous black tea, loved for its fruity flavour and cooling mint sensation.
