The result is a loose leaf Earl Grey that is brighter, more aromatic, and more quietly elegant than the classic — a cup that feels at once familiar and genuinely special.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe base is fine high-grown Ceylon black tea, sourced from the elevated growing regions of Sri Lanka. High-grown Ceylon is prized for a reason: the cool mountain air and well-drained soils produce leaves with a natural brightness and clarity that lower-grown teas rarely achieve. The infusion is clean and coppery, with the lively, slightly brisk character that Ceylon is known for — refined rather than robust, and elegant enough to carry the floral additions without losing itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eTo this is added deep blue Provence lavender, blended with natural oil of bergamot for the signature Earl Grey citrus note. Lavender from Provence is widely regarded as the finest in the world — slower-growing, more aromatic, and more nuanced than lavender grown elsewhere. In the cup, it brings a soft, soothing floral quality that complements the bergamot rather than competing with it. The citrus brightness lifts the blend; the lavender rounds it. Neither dominates.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe tradition of adding lavender to Earl Grey has roots in the European tea salons of the 17th century, where scented and floral teas were fashionable among those with refined tastes. This is a blend with genuine heritage, and it shows in the way the three elements — Ceylon, bergamot, and lavender — sit so naturally together.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eSince 2008, High Teas London has been one of the country's leading independent tea specialists.

Use fresh water brought to around 95°C — just off the boil — and steep for 3 to 4 minutes. Start at the shorter end if you prefer a lighter, more floral cup; allow the full 4 minutes for a slightly brisker, more defined infusion. This blend is best enjoyed without milk, which can soften the bergamot and mute the lavender. A thin slice of lemon is a pleasant alternative if you like a little extra brightness. It is also excellent cold-brewed — steep a teaspoon per cup in cold water for 6 to 8 hours in the fridge for a gently floral iced tea that needs no sweetening.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"High Teas","offers":[{"title":"50g","offer_id":57151674548568,"sku":"LAEA-50-M116","price":4.4,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"125g","offer_id":57151674581336,"sku":"LAEA-125-M116","price":9.3,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"250g","offer_id":57151674614104,"sku":"LAEA-250-M116","price":15.9,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"500g","offer_id":57151674646872,"sku":"LAEA-500-M116","price":29.85,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"60g","offer_id":57151674679640,"sku":"LAEA-60-M116","price":5.8,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"150g","offer_id":57151674712408,"sku":"LAEA-150-M116","price":11.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/4259\/4904\/files\/LavenderEarlGreyPM.jpg?v=1776711848","url":"https:\/\/myspices.uk\/products\/lavender-earl-grey-loose-leaf-black-tea","provider":"My Spices","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
