This is Earl Grey loose leaf tea from Battler: Ceylon black tea flavoured with bergamot, packed as 100 g of loose leaf in a carton box.
Earl Grey gets its character from bergamot, a citrus fruit whose rind gives a fragrant oil. Battler uses a Ceylon black tea base, so the cup is bright with enough body behind the citrus. Loose leaf lets you brew it as strong or as light as you like.
In the pack
