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.

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.
