LCurator note · Tetley

The thing that ruins most supermarket Earl Grey is soapy, synthetic bergamot that drinks like perfume. Tetley keep it natural and dialled back on a 94 percent African black base, so the citrus reads as bright scent rather than scouring powder, with a clean finish and no bitter edge. It is an everyday Earl Grey rather than a connoisseur one, best taken without milk and a slice of lemon, and it is hard to fault at the price.

Curator’s notes

Read the full write-up

Tetley Earl Grey is a bergamot black tea for anyone who finds the usual breakfast blends a bit plain. Soapy or artificial flavour is a risk with cheaper Earl Greys; this one stays bold and traditional, with ninety four percent real black tea and natural bergamot oils. These Tetley Earl Grey bags bring that approachable quality into a bolder cup, for home or the middle of the afternoon. For the full British afternoon feel, sit down with this fragrant citrus black tea pairs nicely with a traditional lemon slice or as a refreshing smooth cold brew spritz. Drink it unwinding at home or between meetings on a busy day; the citrus brightens the cup and the Tetley tradition of quality carries on into 2026.

The Story Behind the Tetley Brand

Tetley began in Yorkshire in 1837, started by Joseph and Edward Tetley, and the brand is a global leader in tea culture nearly two centuries later.

Innovation Pioneers: British kitchens first met the tea bag through Tetley in 1953, and plant based materials keep it in front today.
Earl Grey Heritage: The classic recipe was named after British Prime Minister Charles Grey in the 1830s, and this blend sticks to it.
Master Blenders: Tetley's experts draw on a heritage that goes back more than one hundred and eighty years, and they source the leaf from African gardens.

Tetley Commitment To The Planet

Tetley counts itself a pioneer of sustainable tea production, and each component of this Earl Grey pack is intended to respect the environment.

Packaging: Earl Grey's box, bags and any wrapping may each belong in a different recycling stream, so the pack's printed guidance and your local authority's rules apply.

The story behind Tetley

Tetley invented the drawstring tea bag in the UK and has been a household staple since 1837. The Original 80s and 240s are the everyday picks; the novelty range (Digestive Biscuit, Lemon Drizzle, Cherry Bakewell) is one of the most-distinctive in mainstream British retail. Owned by Tata Consumer Products, Rainforest Alliance certified.

Brewing

Brewing the perfect cup

Water temperatureEarl Grey needs water at 100°C, just boiled, so the theaflavins and thearubigins are extracted in full.

MeasureStandard strength is one bag in 200ml of water; builder strength is 2 bags in 300ml.

SteepEarl Grey takes 3 to 5 minutes, towards the long end if you add milk and the short end for a lighter cup.

ServiceA little full fat milk goes in, and sugar if you take it. Tannins mellow in the presence of milk casein, which is why a milky cup is the British norm.

Iced versionFor iced Earl Grey, 4 bags go strong into 500ml and 4 tablespoons of caster sugar are stirred through the warm tea; once cooled, it is thinned with 500ml of cold water and finished by squeezing in 2 lemons.

CaffeineIt has caffeine; no milligram figure is claimed for this exact Earl Grey.

Best withMarmalade on toast, a full English breakfast, scones and cream, or fruit cake by the slice.

Safety and purity

What’s in it, what to know

Ingredients and dietary suitabilityEarl Grey formulations and their allergen advice can change, which is why the pack you receive has the final word.

CaffeineIt has caffeine; no milligram figure is claimed for this exact Earl Grey.

Nutrient NoteFully oxidised leaf brings theaflavins and thearubigins, and those are the reason a good Earl Grey has a brisk, coppery edge.

Shelf LifeCheck the pack for the best before date; beyond it Earl Grey stays safe, though the bergamot aroma fades. An airtight container in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, is where Earl Grey belongs.

Formulations change; the current UK pack is always the final word on ingredients and allergens.
