Built on a lively high-grown Ceylon base, it is citrusy and aromatic at first sip, then gently smoky on the finish — a distinctive Earl Grey for tea drinkers who want a classic blend with greater depth and character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-section-id=\"27nwm7\" data-start=\"1148\" data-end=\"1216\"\u003eSmoky Earl Grey Loose Leaf Tea with Bergamot and Lapsang Souchong\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1218\" data-end=\"1501\"\u003eSmoky Earl Grey takes the familiar elegance of a traditional Earl Grey and gives it a darker, more intriguing edge. Natural bergamot oil provides the signature citrus lift, while a measured addition of Lapsang Souchong adds warmth, resinous depth and a softly lingering smoky finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1503\" data-end=\"1709\"\u003eThe result is not an overpowering smoke-heavy tea. Instead, it is a carefully balanced flavoured black tea where citrus, body and smoke work together in a cup that feels polished, bold and highly memorable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-section-id=\"k05iik\" data-start=\"1711\" data-end=\"1766\"\u003eBright Bergamot over a Smooth Ceylon Black Tea Base\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1768\" data-end=\"1957\"\u003eHigh-grown Ceylon black tea gives this blend its clean structure and lively character. It has enough body to support the bergamot and Lapsang, while remaining bright and refined in the cup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1959\" data-end=\"2157\"\u003eNatural bergamot oil brings floral citrus aroma and that unmistakable Earl Grey lift. It arrives first on the nose and palate, giving the tea freshness before the deeper smoky note begins to unfold.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-section-id=\"m8fzio\" data-start=\"2159\" data-end=\"2204\"\u003eGently Smoky, Full-Bodied and Distinctive\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2206\" data-end=\"2419\"\u003eLapsang Souchong adds the defining twist. Its pine-smoked character brings warmth and complexity, but is used with restraint so the blend stays recognisably Earl Grey rather than becoming a fully smoked black tea.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2421\" data-end=\"2658\"\u003eIn the cup, expect deep amber liquor, bright citrus fragrance, rounded black tea body and a soft, lingering smoky finish. It is a tea with real presence — ideal for those who enjoy classic blends but like something a little more unusual.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-section-id=\"1ofgugg\" data-start=\"2660\" data-end=\"2675\"\u003eAt a Glance\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul data-start=\"2677\" data-end=\"2968\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"bbgb1p\" data-start=\"2677\" data-end=\"2725\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-start=\"2679\" data-end=\"2692\"\u003eTea type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Flavoured loose leaf black tea\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"1x26laq\" data-start=\"2726\" data-end=\"2771\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-start=\"2728\" data-end=\"2741\"\u003eBase tea:\u003c\/strong\u003e High-grown Ceylon black tea\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"18vume3\" data-start=\"2772\" data-end=\"2831\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-start=\"2774\" data-end=\"2791\"\u003eKey flavours:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bergamot citrus and gentle pine smoke\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"5die55\" data-start=\"2832\" data-end=\"2872\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-start=\"2834\" data-end=\"2853\"\u003eAdditional tea:\u003c\/strong\u003e Lapsang Souchong\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"1su27i3\" data-start=\"2873\" data-end=\"2909\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-start=\"2875\" data-end=\"2886\"\u003eLiquor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Deep burnished amber\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"1q8sc9p\" data-start=\"2910\" data-end=\"2968\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-start=\"2912\" data-end=\"2929\"\u003eBest enjoyed:\u003c\/strong\u003e Black or with a small splash of milk\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-section-id=\"lpib6l\" data-start=\"2970\" data-end=\"3011\"\u003eExcellent Black or Softened with Milk\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"3013\" data-end=\"3170\"\u003eServed black, this smoky Earl Grey loose leaf tea is at its most expressive.
