Earl Grey Matcha - Powdered Ceylon Black Tea

Our Earl Grey matcha is a finely milled Ceylon black tea powder blended with 100% natural bergamot extract for a bold, aromatic and highly distinctive cup. Inspired by the Japanese matcha style of preparation, it whisks into a rich, frothy brew with deep black tea body, bright citrus fragrance and a smooth, lingering finish.

Earl Grey Matcha with Ceylon Black Tea and Bergamot

Earl Grey Matcha is an original interpretation of a classic flavoured tea. Rather than using loose black tea leaves in the traditional way, high grown Ceylon black tea is finely milled into a smooth powder, allowing the tea to suspend fully in water when whisked.

The result is a cup with greater body and texture than a standard Earl Grey infusion. It has the richness and visual appeal of a whisked powdered tea, combined with the familiar bright citrus aroma that makes Earl Grey so enduringly popular.

A Bold Powdered Earl Grey Tea

The Ceylon black tea used in this blend brings natural strength, malty warmth and a pleasant, balanced astringency. Once whisked, it produces a full-bodied amber cup with a light foam and a creamy texture that lingers pleasantly on the palate.

This makes Earl Grey Matcha a distinctive choice for those who enjoy strong black tea but want something more unusual than a conventional teabag or loose leaf infusion.

Bright Natural Bergamot Character

This blend is finished with 100% natural bergamot extract, giving it a vivid, authentic citrus fragrance. The bergamot is bright and aromatic without feeling harsh, sitting cleanly over the fuller, maltier character of the Ceylon tea beneath.

The balance between black tea depth and lifted bergamot makes this a particularly expressive Earl Grey, whether prepared simply with water or turned into a creamy latte.

Excellent Whisked or as an Earl Grey Latte

Prepared with hot water, Earl Grey Matcha gives a smooth, frothy cup with striking body and fragrance. It makes a distinctive morning brew or a satisfying afternoon alternative to a standard Earl Grey.

It is also excellent as an Earl Grey latte. Whisked first into a smooth paste and then topped with steamed milk, it becomes rich, aromatic and softly creamy. Oat milk works especially well alongside the bergamot.

How to Prepare Earl Grey Matcha

Use water heated to around 80°C to 85°C rather than fully boiling. This helps preserve the brightness of the bergamot and keeps the powdered black tea tasting smooth.

Add one teaspoon of powder to a cup or bowl, pour over a small amount of hot water and whisk briskly in a zigzag motion until a smooth paste forms. Add the remaining hot water and whisk again until lightly frothy. For an Earl Grey matcha latte, prepare the paste in the same way, then top with steamed or frothed milk.
