A Portrait of Earl Grey from Nelson's Tea puts a fresh spin on the classic British staple, pairing robust black tea with fragrant bergamot and a scatter of cornflower petals. The result is a cup that feels full-bodied and smooth, with a bright citrus edge and a soft note of vanilla resting in the background.
Cornflower petals lend the final blend its gentle floral character, setting it apart from plainer Earl Grey versions. Drink it neat to enjoy the depth of the black tea, or prepare it with milk and sugar in the way British households have favored for ages.
