LCurator note · Teapigs
Most Earl Grey is bergamot painted onto an anonymous black base; this one is bergamot over 98 percent whole-leaf Darjeeling, so under the citrus there is a real sweet, almost wine-like muscatel note doing the work. That makes it a markedly more elegant, more layered cup than the supermarket standard, best taken without milk in the afternoon. The cornflowers are mostly for looks rather than taste, but the tea underneath genuinely earns the price step up.

About this tea
Teapigs Darjeeling Earl Grey, in brief.
Teapigs Darjeeling Earl Grey is a more refined take on Earl Grey, single-estate Darjeeling rather than a generic black base, lifted with natural bergamot oil and whole leaf in the pyramid temple. The Darjeeling gives it a lighter, more elegant, faintly muscatel character than a standard Earl Grey, and the real oil keeps the bergamot bright rather than perfumed or soapy, picked into the Teas.co.uk curator selection as a step up.
Preparation: drop one pyramid into a 250ml mug at 95 to 100 degrees and steep four to five minutes. The whole-leaf pyramid lets the Darjeeling open fully for a cleaner cup than fragments give. Best drunk black to keep the bergamot and muscatel clear, and it pairs especially well with a slice of Madeira cake.
Curator notes: the tasting profile reflects our own editorial review against the current pack format and the brand spec sheet, cross-checked with brewing trials at the recommended steep time and water temperature. We run same-day UK dispatch on every order placed before 2pm Monday to Friday. Storage notes and brewing guidance are also published in the detailed Q and A tab below.

Brewing
Brewing the perfect cup
Water temperature100°C, just boiled water is essential for full extraction of theaflavins and thearubigins.
MeasureOne bag per 200ml of water for a standard cup; use 2 bags in 300ml if you want builder strength.
Steep3 to 5 minutes; longer for a stronger, milkier cup, shorter for a lighter pour.
ServiceAdd a splash of full fat milk and stir; sugar to taste. The tannins are balanced by the milk casein, which is why British tea is almost always drunk with milk.
Iced versionBrew 4 bags strong in 500ml, dissolve 4 tablespoons of caster sugar in the warm tea, cool, dilute with 500ml of cold water and the juice of 2 lemons.
CaffeineContains caffeine; a product-specific milligram figure is not claimed.
Best withA full English breakfast, toast and marmalade, fruit cake, scones with cream.
