Behind the bergamot stand two great origins, Assam and Yunnan. Earl Grey des Seigneurs Tea N°509 is a sumptuous Earl Grey from Dammann Frères, one of France’s oldest tea houses, founded in 1692, uniting the woody depth of Assam and the sweet, walnut-like character of Yunnan with the fresh, fruity brightness of Calabrian bergamot essential oil. Richer and more complex than a classic Earl Grey, it offers a refined, woody cup, a blend for demanding tea lovers, from breakfast to afternoon tea. Pour it with scones or a walnut cake, plain or with a slice of lemon.
