The story
A gentler take on the grey
Classic Earl Grey can be a bit sharp for some. Pearl Grey keeps the bergamot, that citrus lift that makes Earl Grey what it is, but softens it with rose petals and juicy pear pieces. The result is still recognisably Earl Grey, just prettier and a little easier to drink.
Bold Sri Lankan black tea gives the cup proper structure; without it, the flowers and fruit would float about without anything to anchor them. Sun-dried lemon slices sharpen the finish, keeping everything crisp rather than cloying. It is citrus-forward but not astringent, lightly perfumed but never soapy.
This is an afternoon tea for people who want their Earl Grey to feel like a small occasion. The kind of cup you make when the biscuit tin comes out and you have ten minutes to yourself. Bright, balanced and genuinely refreshing.

Lighter but still fragrant; the rose comes through more.
Shop tip: A shorter steep keeps the bergamot bright; go longer if you prefer a fuller, more rounded cup.

Good questions
Things people ask us in the shop
What is the difference between Pearl Grey and classic Earl Grey?
Both have bergamot and black tea. Pearl Grey adds rose petals, pear pieces and sun-dried lemon for a softer, fruitier, more floral cup. Classic Earl Grey is sharper and more straightforward.
Does Pearl Grey contain caffeine?
Yes, it contains natural caffeine from the Sri Lankan black tea base. It is a medium-caffeine tea, similar to other black tea blends.
Can I add milk to Pearl Grey?
You can, but it is best without. Milk dulls the bergamot and floral notes. If you prefer milky tea, Cream Earl Grey might suit you better.
How many cups will I get from a 100g pouch?
Using about 2.5g per cup, a 100g pouch makes around 40 cups. Enough for a good few weeks of afternoon tea.
How should I store Pearl Grey?
Keep it sealed in a cool, dry place away from heat, sunlight and strong aromas. The rose petals and fruit pieces stay fresher that way.
Full product details
Pearl Grey brings a floral, fruity twist to Earl Grey. Loose leaf black tea and bright bergamot meet soft floral notes for a fragrant afternoon cup.
Bold Sri Lankan black tea gives the cup structure and depth, while bergamot brings that unmistakable Earl Grey sparkle. Delicate rose petals add a gentle floral note, juicy pear pieces bring subtle natural sweetness, and sun-dried lemon slices sharpen the finish into something crisp and refreshing.
The result is elegant but not fussy: citrus-forward, lightly perfumed, and beautifully balanced with a clean finish that keeps you coming back.
A perfect choice if you love Earl Grey but want something a little brighter, prettier and more interesting in the cup.
