TASTING NOTE

Breakfast Earl Grey: The Energetic and Fragrant Awakening

Breakfast Earl Grey is a bold reinterpretation of the world's most famous tea. Unlike classic versions, which are often lighter, this blend was specifically crafted for breakfast. It combines the richness of a black tea from Ceylon (Sri Lanka) with the zesty freshness of bergamot, offering a powerful, balanced, and invigorating cup to start your day right.

The Power of broken Leaves

The secret to the intensity of Breakfast Earl Grey lies in the way its leaves are cut:

  • A Dense Infusion: This blend is made with broken leaves (Broken Orange Pekoe). This cut allows the water to penetrate the heart of the leaf more quickly, releasing a darker, richer, and more caffeinated brew than whole-leaf tea.
  • Body and Structure: The fineness of the broken leaves ensures a robust structure on the palate. This is a tea with character, offering the typical "malty" strength of breakfast teas, perfectly complementing the volatile aroma of bergamot.
  • Aroma Extraction: Thanks to this cut, the citrus notes integrate deeply into the structure of the black tea, creating perfect harmony from the very first seconds of infusion.

Aromatic profile

This Earl Grey doesn't sacrifice finesse for strength:

  • The Nose: A lively and elegant bouquet of fresh bergamot, supported by notes of damp earth and Indian garden wood.
  • The Palate: A bold and full-bodied attack. The richness of the black tea fills the mouth, while the citrus zest brings welcome clarity and a touch of acidity.
  • The Finish: Clean and invigorating, with a zesty persistence that awakens the senses.

Why choose Breakfast Earl Grey?

  • Morning Special: Designed for those who find classic Earl Grey too light for waking up.
  • Instant Intensity: Thanks to the broken leaves, get a rich, flavorful cup in record time.

Preparation Tips

Thanks to its broken leaf base, this tea is particularly versatile:

  • Temperature: Use hot, spring, or filtered water, ideally between 85°C and 95°C.
  • Brewing Time: Be precise. 2 minutes 30 seconds to 3 minutes is enough to extract its full strength without developing too much bitterness.
  • Dosage: Use approximately 2,5g to 3g of tea (one heaped teaspoon) per 150ml of water.
  • A Latte of Milk: Its broken leaf structure makes it one of the few Earl Greys that pairs beautifully with a splash of milk or cane sugar. The milk softens the strength of the black tea while creating a smooth contrast with the bergamot.

  • Ingredients: Black tea, aroma
  • Type of tea and origin: Black tea from Ceylon (Sri Lanka), broken leaves
  • Can be re-infused: 1 - 2 times
