Timeless green tea with lemon

Lemon tea is a must-have. Its tangy flavor works wonders in all kinds of tea recipes. It adds a zest of freshness with elegance wherever it is present, offering a deliciously fresh and invigorating taste experience.

We've invited this gastronomic star into many of our recipes, some of them highly original, such as Hummingbird's Dream, a militant green tea that combines the summery flavours of lemon and basil.

The timeless elegance of Earl Grey

A real "Madeleine de Proust" for some, because it's often through a cup of Earl Grey that we discover the world of tea, or simply a breakfast or tea time staple for others, this great classic rarely leaves anyone indifferent.

With its "so British" touch, it embodies a certain idea of British refinement and is one of the most widely consumed flavored teas in the world. By combining the flavors of tea with those of bergamot, a particularly aromatic citrus fruit, this recipe immediately appeals to a wide audience. A sure bet! Beyond the cup, Earl Grey infusion is also used to flavour desserts, cocktails and even savoury dishes. Its versatility makes it a popular ingredient.

History and origins of Earl Grey

Earl Grey is said to have originated in 19th-century England, during the expansion of the British Empire and the tea craze. Its name is attributed to Charles Grey, 2nd Earl Grey and British Prime Minister from 1830 to 1834, who is said to have received a bergamot-scented tea from a British diplomat returning from China. Several other versions of its origin exist, but none has been confirmed.

Bergamot essential oil

Bergamot's powerful, refreshing aromas are reminiscent of a harmonious blend of different citrus fruits, with notes of lemon, bitter orange and mandarin blended with a distinctive floral sweetness. A unique combination that makes bergamot a highly prized ingredient in both culinary and perfumery applications. The essential oil is extracted from the thick, fragrant skin of the fruit. It is blended with tea, resulting in a superb balance between the deep tannins of black tea and the bright, complex notes of citrus.

Earl Grey variations

In addition to this classic recipe, Earl Grey offers a wide range of variations, which we invite you to discover: on a base of green tea, a blend of green and black tea, or even rooibos for a caffeine-free alternative.

Green Earl Grey offers unrivalled freshness, with its delicate green tea enhanced with orange peel, providing a highly refreshing alternative to the traditional version.

Earl Blue Diamond boldly blends the floral scents of jasmine green tea with those of Earl Grey, creating a subtle harmony between two classics.

African Grey Demeter offers a theine-free version based on rooibos, combining the sweetness of the South African infusion with the fruity, tangy flavours of bergamot, for an original experience.

Whether you're a seasoned tea lover or a budding explorer, citrus teas offer a sensory experience full of pep and flavor!
