Earl Grey Supreme
A special reserve for Earl Grey lovers, we infuse our top grades of Yunnan Dianhong black tea with the essential oil pressed from real bergamot citrus fruits grown in Calabria, Italy to yield our Earl Grey Supreme blend. We select only bergamot oil made during the first pressing of the year, around November-December, which has the most fragrant perfume and floral aromatic complexity.

BLACK TEA
Black teas are among the most popular. Teas like Assam, Darjeeling, and Yunnan black teas are consumed regularly around the world. Whether you opt for loose leaf or tea bags, the caffeine in the black tea leaves is the same - roughly 47mg of caffeine in each cup.
The process of brewing and steeping black teas does impact how much caffeine ends up in your cup. However, adding milk and sugar tend to improve the flavor but won't affect the amount of caffeine you consume.

IT’S ALL ABOUT THAT PLANT, ’BOUT THAT PLANT, ’BOUT THAT PLANT.
Sorry to put that Meghan Trainor ditty in your head, but the very first thing you need to know is that all types of tea come from the same plant – Camellia Sinensis.
Whatever tea is in your cup (White, Green, Oolong, Black or Pu-erh), it all starts out the same way as a freshly plucked tea leaf and is then transformed into a category based on how it’s processed, and the amount of oxidation (air) it’s exposed to.
Think about what happens when you bite into an apple. That first bite reveals bright white flesh and the longer it’s exposed to air, the darker it becomes. That’s basically how white tea becomes black tea!
NEXT TO WATER, TEA IS THE MOST WIDELY CONSUMED BEVERAGE IN THE ENTIRE WORLD.
Fun Fact: Herbal tea is technically not a tea because it doesn’t come from the tea plant, Camellia Sinensis. It’s an infusion of leaves, roots, bark, seeds, fruits or flowers. Herbal teas (also called Tisanes) are naturally caffeine free.

What is a Breakfast Tea?
To be clear, you can drink any tea you want at breakfast (there are no rules to this), but most teas labeled “Breakfast Tea/Blend” are black teas of small particle size that steep up quick, strong, deliver lots of caffeine, and can take cream and sugar without turning into watered down skim milk. It’s like your morning coffee if you don’t like coffee. These blends often feature teas from the Assam region of India, Ceylon teas (Sri Lanka) and African teas since they tend to have brisk, earthy characteristics. The small particle size will make sure the cup steeps up strong and full-bodied quickly and deliver as much of its caffeine into the cup as possible.
