Premium Earl Grey Loose Leaf Tea - Earl Grey Excelsior Superior

Our Premium Earl Grey loose leaf tea Earl Grey Excelsior Superior is a refined three-origin black tea blend of Yunnan, Keemun and Ceylon, scented with natural bergamot oil for a fragrant, beautifully rounded cup. Full-bodied yet polished, it combines mellow depth, subtle brightness and fresh citrus-floral lift — an elevated Earl Grey to enjoy with or without milk.

Premium Earl Grey Loose Leaf Tea with Yunnan, Keemun and Ceylon

Earl Grey Excelsior Superior is a more complex and carefully composed take on the classic bergamot black tea. Rather than relying on a single base, it brings together three distinctive black teas, each chosen for the role it plays in the cup.

Yunnan adds a soft, rounded earthiness, Keemun contributes smooth aromatic depth, and Ceylon provides brightness and lift. Natural bergamot oil ties the blend together with the citrus-floral fragrance that defines a fine Earl Grey.

Rich, Fragrant and Beautifully Balanced

In the cup, this Premium Earl Grey loose leaf tea pours a deep warm amber with luminous clarity and an immediately inviting bergamot aroma. The flavour is full-bodied but refined, with the black tea base remaining present beneath the citrus note rather than disappearing behind it.

The result is smooth, aromatic and well structured — more layered than a standard Earl Grey, yet still reassuringly classic in style.

A Superior Earl Grey for Morning or Afternoon

Competitor naming around this style commonly leans towards words such as Superior, Supreme and Premium, which makes Premium Earl Grey loose leaf tea a stronger customer-led keyword than the more product-specific Excelsior alone. Your product name still keeps Earl Grey Excelsior Superior as its distinctive identity.

This blend is satisfying enough for a considered morning brew and elegant enough for a more civilised afternoon cup. It has the depth to take milk gracefully, while remaining aromatic and clear when enjoyed black.

A More Layered Earl Grey Experience

Earl Grey Excelsior Superior is an excellent choice for drinkers who enjoy the familiar charm of bergamot tea but want more depth and nuance in the base leaf. The Yunnan and Keemun give the blend a richer foundation than a lighter, simpler Earl Grey, while the Ceylon keeps it bright and lively.

It is a tea that feels special without becoming difficult — polished, fragrant and highly drinkable.

How to Brew Earl Grey Excelsior Superior

Use water at around 95°C and add one heaped teaspoon per cup. Steep for 3 to 4 minutes.

A 3-minute brew keeps the bergamot brighter and more lifted. A 4-minute infusion develops greater depth from the Yunnan, Keemun and Ceylon base.

This tea takes milk well, which softens the citrus and brings the darker black tea notes forward. It is equally rewarding without milk when you want the bergamot fragrance to show most clearly.

Ingredients

Black tea from Yunnan, Keemun and Ceylon, natural bergamot oil.
