Fortnum & Mason Earl Grey Classic Tea 25 Bags

This is a robust, malty leaf tea from pure Assam leaves grown in the prized Brahmaputra Valley in Northeast India. The broken leaves make a strong brew with a malty, full-bodied flavour and are much prized at breakfast time. 

British Prime Minister Earl Grey gave his name to this hugely popular tea back in the 1830s, and ever since it has been thought of as a classic English afternoon tea. It is not a type of tea, but a flavour, made up of a simple black tea flavoured with aromatic and stimulating oil of bergamot. 

This silver-plated tea strainer is decorated with an Art Deco-style detail and is the perfect accessory for an elegant afternoon tea.

This clever tea strainer allows you to brew your favourite loose-leaf tea directly in the cup. The fine mesh holds back the leaves while the generous size allows the full flavour of the tea to come through without the fuss of getting out the teapot.

Fragrant elderflower is a worthwhile companion to the best green tea, as the complementary flavours combine to create an especially subtle and distinctive drink.

Large leaf tea, specially selected and blended for Waitrose. Carefully selected China teas, lightly scented with natural Bergamot, provide the authentic Earl Grey taste: smooth with a subtle balance of flavours.
