Merlin’s Favorite Earl Grey – 50g

This particular blend, known as Black Tea Earl Grey Mauve, draws inspiration from the classic recipe created for Prime Minister Charles Grey over 180 years ago. It stands out in the Teas and Tea Accessories category due to its inclusion of mallow flowers, which complement the bold base of high-quality black tea. The loose leaf format ensures that the leaves and botanicals can fully unfurl during steeping, releasing a complex and aromatic profile that standard tea bags often lack. Whether you are looking for a thoughtful gift for a tea lover or seeking a reliable staple for your own collection, this 50g tin provides a sophisticated experience that fits perfectly into any daily ritual.

• Loose leaf variety for a full and fragrant aromatic experience
• Traditional black tea base associated with improved focus and mental alertness
• Unique Mauve blend featuring mallow flowers for a gentle floral note
• Sized in a convenient 50g portion suitable for sampling or gifting

How to Use This Product

To prepare a perfect cup, use 2 to 3 grams of the loose leaf tea for every 200 ml of water. Heat your water to a temperature between 90 and 95 degrees Celsius to ensure the leaves do not burn. Pour the water over the tea leaves and allow them to steep for 3 to 4 minutes to achieve the ideal flavor balance. This tea is versatile and can be enjoyed as a pure black tea or with the addition of milk or your preferred plant-based substitute for a creamier texture.
