Mlesna Earl Grey Loose Leaf Tea is a Flowery Broken Orange Pekoe Ceylon black tea scented with bergamot extract — the fragrant citrus flavouring that defines the Earl Grey style. The tea is produced in 200-gram packs and sold individually or in multiples of three, five, or six packs, making it a practical choice both for everyday use and for stocking up.
The base leaf is a Flowery BOP grade, a relatively fine cut that retains a proportion of delicate tips. The bergamot used is a fragrant citrus fruit whose extract gives Earl Grey its characteristic floral, citrus-edged aroma. The declared ingredients are pure Ceylon black tea with natural flavour extract — nothing further is added. The pack carries the Ceylon Tea Lion, the Symbol of Quality that confirms the contents are one hundred per cent pure Ceylon tea packed in Sri Lanka.
Mlesna (Ceylon) Ltd. has been producing and exporting tea from Colombo since 1983, and its range now spans more than fifty countries. The company has received the Ceylon Tea Lion certification and a substantial number of national and international packaging and export awards over its four decades in the industry, reflecting consistent standards across its range.
To brew this loose-leaf tea, bring fresh cold water to a full boil and pour it directly over the leaves placed in a clean, dry ceramic teapot. Allow the leaves to steep for several minutes before straining into the cup. Because this is a loose-leaf format rather than a tea-bag product, a strainer or infuser is useful to have to hand. The tea can be taken plain or with milk, according to preference.
Each 200-gram pack is sealed and shelf-stable for an extended period from the date of manufacture. The product is packed in Sri Lanka by Mlesna (Ceylon) Ltd. and is available on this listing in single-pack and multi-pack options to suit different quantities.
