Its silver needles are what set this Earl Grey apart. Earl Grey Yin Zhen Tea N°0, from Dammann Frères, one of France’s oldest tea houses, founded in 1692, brings together a selection of fine black teas enriched with Yin Zhen silver needle white tips and flower petals, delicately scented with Calabrian bergamot. More refined and complex than a classic Earl Grey, it combines an elegant floral lift with exceptional smoothness, the Earl Grey of reference for discerning palates, at any hour. Available in a 100g canister or in 24 individually enveloped tea bags; enjoy it plain, or with a thin slice of lemon.
