Description
Vanilla Earl Grey from Nelson's Tea gives a well-loved classic a fresh spin by building on a green tea base instead of the usual black. Sencha leaves hold a gentle vanilla layer, while a soft bergamot-style note gives the cup its familiar Earl Grey feel. Green rooibos and cornflower petals round things out with a bright, clean finish.
This tea carries less caffeine than a standard black Earl Grey, which makes it a thoughtful pick for anyone easing up on caffeine without losing flavor. Loose leaves open fully in hot water, releasing a creamy scent with every pour.

FAQs
Does Vanilla Earl Grey contain caffeine?
Yes, though only a small amount. The green tea base carries much less caffeine than the black tea used in a traditional Earl Grey.
When is the best time to drink this tea?
The low caffeine level makes it suitable for mornings, afternoons, or even early evenings without heavily affecting how well you sleep.
Is the vanilla flavor in this tea too sweet?
No. Vanilla adds a soft, creamy note that rounds out the cup without making it feel sugary or dessert-like on the tongue.
Can this tea be sweetened further?
Yes. Many drinkers enjoy the natural vanilla flavor on its own, but a little honey or sugar works well if preferred.
Can Vanilla Earl Grey be served iced?
Yes. Use twice as many leaves, steep them in hot water for the same time, then pour the brew straight over ice in a glass.
