Zesty Earl Grey

Zesty Earl Grey is a bright black-tea blend in the Earl Grey family, with orange pieces and lemongrass adding a sharper, more layered citrus character than a classic cup.

Orange • Lemongrass • Bright

What is in the blend?

Black tea, lemongrass leaves, orange pieces, cornflower petals and natural flavouring.

The current formal ingredient line uses the broader term “natural flavouring”; it does not name a specific bergamot oil or a lemon ingredient. If the exact flavouring source matters for allergy, sensitivity or preference, ask us to check the current pack specification before ordering.

Who will enjoy it?

Choose Zesty if you already like Earl Grey but want orange and lemongrass to share the spotlight. If you prefer a simpler black-tea-and-citrus cup, Classic Earl Grey is the cleaner reference point; if you want vanilla and lavender, Yorkshire Fog heads in a softer direction.

Brewing guide

• Amount: 1 teaspoon per cup
• Water: Freshly boiled water (100°C)
• Time: 2–3 minutes

Taste the first few sips plain. Shorten the next brew if the cup is too brisk. A small splash of milk can round the edge, but try it before adding lemon—the blend already brings its own orange and lemongrass character.

This black-tea blend contains natural caffeine.

Zesty Earl Grey FAQs

What does Zesty Earl Grey taste like? Black tea with orange pieces and lemongrass for a brighter Earl Grey-style cup.

Does Zesty Earl Grey contain caffeine? Yes. As a black tea it naturally contains caffeine. For a later cup, Decaf English Breakfast is a gentler choice.

How do I brew Zesty Earl Grey? Use one teaspoon per cup with freshly boiled water and steep for 2–3 minutes. Taste it, then adjust the time next round rather than stewing the leaves.

Can I have Zesty Earl Grey with milk? We’d drink it without. Milk tends to hide the flavours that make it worth choosing.

How should I store Zesty Earl Grey? Keep the pouch sealed and somewhere cool, dry and dark, away from strong smells like coffee or spices.
