The base of this Earl Grey is produced for us by La Mandala Tea garden in Fikkal, Nepal. The tea is heavily machine rolled and given a long oxidation period, a technique taken from Taiwanese style ruby tea, which gives it a full texture and sweet date-like aroma. We then scent the tea in our Berlin tea room with an organic bergamot sourced from Sicily. The result is a balanced and aromatic Earl Grey that is rich and layered.
