Russian Earl Grey

Russian Earl Grey – Citrus-Forward Earl Grey with Orange Peel and Lemongrass

Russian Earl Grey takes traditional Earl Grey as its starting point and adds zingy citrus for a distinctive, tangy cup. This style is popular in Russia and around the world, appreciated for its bright, refreshing character. For businesses already carrying a classic Earl Grey, it is a natural second option for customers who want more citrus.

Premium black tea is blended with natural bergamot flavor and then combined with lemongrass and pieces of orange peel to create a traditional Russian Earl Grey. Bright cornflower petals add a touch of color. The citrus peel contributes a pungent note with a tangy twist that makes the blend unique. The aroma is bright bergamot and zesty orange. The flavor presents bold black tea with tangy citrus and lemongrass, the character is lively, zingy and refreshing, and the finish is crisp and pleasantly tart. The extra citrus and lemongrass add a sparkling freshness that makes each cup feel invigorating, while the premium black tea base keeps the blend full-bodied and satisfying. In keeping with Russian tradition, it can be served plain or with a slice of lemon and a spoonful of jam or honey. It also makes a refreshing iced tea and pairs well with lemon cake, shortbread and honey cake, giving it flexibility across hot and cold menus.
