Green tea has been linked to improving immune system health and aiding with weight loss.
Traditionally Earl Grey was a blend of Chinese and Indian teas scented with the oil from the citrus fruit bergamot - a sort of orange. While Earl Grey black tea is the namesake of Charles, the 2nd Earl of Grey, it is a little known fact that Earl Grey green is named after Sir Albert Henry George, the 4th Earl of Grey who lived between 1851 and 1917. Sir Albert served as Canada's Governer General from 1904 to 1911. It was during this time that this tea was brewed in his honour. Sir Albert particularly liked the way that the sweet bergamot blends with the slightly smoky profile of this green gunpowder tea.
Milk not recommended for green tea.
Great with a squeeze of fresh lemon and a bit of sugar, or try it with a little honey.
Try creating your own variations of Earl Grey on our green tea base. Lavender is always a great one for Earl Grey - just use it sparingly - a little of our lavender flowers will go a long way.
Also delicious iced, and cold-brewed.
Iced Tea
Make as for hot, but add extra tea - double the amount of tea per cup is recommended.
When the tea has cooled a little, pour over ice and then serve.
Cold Brew
For a smoother taste experience.
Place the tea in a jug and add cold water.
Leave to infuse for a few hours (or overnight in the fridge).
Strain and enjoy.

The most lovely tea
Love this tea - drink it every day instead of normal earl grey - great flavour and healthy too

Love this tea
Green earl grey tea is generally hard to get hold off, I’ve tried it from a few places and it’s either shocking quality or been sat there so long it’s flavourless. I stopped shopping elsewhere and have been buying it from Simpli Special for years now. It’s fresh, aromatic, not overpoweringly strong to make up for bad tea quality. Personally I brew it at 80 degrees for 5 mins. Love it!

Refreshingly Familiar but Different!
Having tried lots of mixes of earl grey/green/Black teas - this is the best yet - very fresh, exact mix of subtle green and tangy earl-grey; well done Simpli Special tea!
