## Summary

A bold Earl Grey built for milk: heavier bergamot over a fuller black base, brewed strong but not stewed.

## Description

Earl Grey Strong is the one to reach for if you take your Earl Grey with milk: a bolder black base carrying a heavier dose of bergamot, so unlike a delicate Darjeeling Earl Grey it doesn't vanish under a proper splash. The only thing to watch is the steep, so it comes out strong rather than stewed.
