Cream Earl Grey
Creamy Earl Grey blend
Bergamot with the edges smoothed off
All the citrus charm of a proper Earl Grey, but gentler. Vanilla and cream notes round the bergamot into something softer and more comforting, an afternoon cup that feels like a small kindness.

The story
Earl Grey for those who like it gentle
Classic Earl Grey has its fans, but the bergamot can come on a bit strong for some. Cream Earl Grey takes that bright citrus lift and wraps it in something warmer. The base is bold Sri Lankan black tea, clean Ceylon brightness with enough body to stand on its own, while natural vanilla flavouring adds a creamy, almost dessert-like quality to the finish.
The result sits somewhere between a traditional Earl Grey and a proper treat. You still get that unmistakable bergamot scent rising from the cup, but it arrives softer, silkier, more rounded. Cornflower petals add a touch of colour to the leaf without changing the taste.
This is a tea for slow afternoons. The kind where you sit down properly, maybe with a biscuit, and let the kettle do its work. It suits people who love Earl Grey but wish it were just a little less sharp. All the character, none of the bite.
How to brew it

- Water
- 100°C

A splash of milk softens it further. Some like it, some don't. Try both ways.
03Iced
- Amount
- 2 tsp (5g)
- Water
- Cold
- Time

Cold brew in the fridge overnight for a smooth, citrusy summer drink.
Shop tip: Start at two minutes and taste. The bergamot develops quickly, and you can always steep a little longer if you want more punch.

Good questions
Things people ask us in the shop
How is Cream Earl Grey different from regular Earl Grey?
Same bergamot base, but vanilla and cream flavouring round out the citrus into something softer. Less sharp, more comforting. Still recognisably Earl Grey, just gentler.
Does it contain caffeine?
Yes, it contains natural caffeine from the black tea. It's similar to other black teas, roughly a medium level, less than coffee but enough to give you a lift.
Should I add milk?
Entirely up to you. It works well without, but a splash of milk softens it further if that's your preference. Try it both ways.
How many cups will I get from 100g?
At roughly 2.5g per cup, a 100g pouch makes about 40 cups. Enough for a few weeks of afternoon brewing.
How should I store it?
Keep it sealed, cool and dry, away from heat, sunlight and strong aromas. A cupboard away from the hob is ideal.
Full product details
Cream Earl Grey softens the bright bergamot of a classic Earl Grey with smooth, creamy notes. A rounded loose leaf black tea for an afternoon brew.
Bold Sri Lankan black tea gives the cup structure and that clean Ceylon brightness, while fragrant bergamot brings the familiar citrus lift. Smooth vanilla rounds everything out, adding a creamy, dessert-like warmth that makes the finish feel silky rather than sharp.
It’s all the charm of traditional Earl Grey, but gentler and more comforting — ideal for slow afternoons, elegant tea breaks, or whenever you want something a little softer without losing that unmistakable bergamot character.
