Mlesna Earl Grey Tea Bags bring together fine Ceylon black tea and the oil of bergamot orange rind in a pairing that has made Earl Grey one of the most widely recognised flavoured teas anywhere in the world. Mlesna, founded in Colombo in 1983 and now exporting to more than fifty countries, describes this as a premium product — and the packaging says exactly what it is: a fine Ceylon tea with bergamot extracts.
The base is a Sri Lankan black tea, and the character of the cup comes from bergamot flavouring derived from the rind of the bergamot orange, a fragrant citrus fruit. Bergamot oil is extracted from the rind by cold-pressing, and it is this oil — not the leaf — that gives Earl Grey its signature citrus lift and floral aroma. What arrives in the cup is at once familiar and particular: the body of a good Ceylon black tea carrying a bright, distinctly citrus top note.
Each pack contains individually wrapped tea bags designed to brew one cup at a time. The tea works equally well served hot or prepared cold, and a single bag is enough for either. The listing offers several formats to suit different households: a 50-bag pack at 100g, a 100-bag pack at 200g, and a twin pack of two 50-bag boxes — all of the same premium Earl Grey blend.
Mlesna has been manufacturing and exporting pure Ceylon tea in blended and flavoured varieties for more than four decades, and the company has received over eighty industry awards including nine World Star awards for packaging excellence from the World Packaging Organisation. That provenance is present in every box: Sri Lankan-grown tea, responsibly produced, and shipped to buyers who want something a step above the ordinary supermarket shelf.
