Duchess Earl Grey Tea uses our traditional Earl Grey recipe, but with added orange pieces and lime leaves for a delicious citrus twist. Dried rose petals and blue cornflowers are also added to make this a very pretty blend. A refreshing, full bodied tea with citrus flavours to enjoy at any time.
Why Duchess Earl Grey?
To name our new blend, we went back into the history books to look for some inspiration. We learned that the Earl Grey associated with Earl Grey tea (Charles Grey) was romantically involved with Georgiana Cavendish, Duchess of Devonshire (née Spencer), during the early 1790s, and to reflect the lighter, floral, romantic character of this blend, Duchess Earl Grey was named.
Duchess Earl Grey makes a great iced tea using traditional methods, but also works really well as a cold brew tea. To learn more, visit the Tea Hub and read: How To Cold Brew Tea

The Enigma Variations of a Duchess
OK I have drank this tea now four times and it is so wonderfully intoxicating that each time it plays differently on my taste buds. An Amalfi rose garden is the Romantic Setting for this tea as there is a heady mix of Damask Roses & Lemons. A twist of lime takes it into different territory far from Grey
