Fortnum & Mason Earl Grey Classic Tea Bags 50 Count — Individually Wrapped, Bergamot-Forward

Fortnum & Mason Earl Grey Classic is a cellophane-sealed box of 50 individually wrapped tea bags delivering a fragrant black tea subtly lifted with bergamot.

Inspired by the long-standing English tradition associated with Earl Grey, this blend combines robust black tea with the citrusy aroma of bergamot oil. Packaged for freshness, each tea bag is enveloped to preserve flavor and scent, making it easy to enjoy a consistent cup at home, the office, or as part of an afternoon routine.

What does Fortnum & Mason Earl Grey Classic taste like?

This Earl Grey emphasizes a balanced black-tea base with a clear bergamot presence — aromatic and zesty without overpowering bitterness. It’s crafted to be smooth when brewed for the recommended time, delivering a bright citrus top note and warming malt beneath.

• Aromatic and citrus-forward from bergamot oil
• Full-bodied black-tea backbone for structure
• Balanced finish, suitable with or without milk

How should I brew these 50 tea bags for the best cup?

For a dependable flavor, steep one enveloped tea bag in freshly boiled water for 3–5 minutes. Shorter brewing yields a lighter cup; longer brewing increases strength and body. Remove the bag at your preferred strength to avoid excess bitterness.

• Use freshly boiled water (just off boil)
• Brew 3–5 minutes; adjust to taste
• One tea bag per cup (no rinsing needed)

How is the tea packaged and why does it matter?

The box is sealed in cellophane and contains 50 individually enveloped tea bags to protect aroma and freshness. Individual wrapping prevents cross-contamination of flavors and makes single-serve brewing convenient whether at home or on the go.

• Cellophane exterior keeps the box shelf-stable
• Each tea bag in its own envelope preserves scent
• Compact box design stores easily in cupboards or travel bags

Can I customize how I serve Fortnum & Mason Earl Grey?

Yes — this blend is versatile. Enjoy it plain to appreciate the bergamot, add a splash of milk for a creamier texture, or serve with a slice of lemon to enhance the citrus notes. It also works well iced for warmer days.

• Serve plain to highlight bergamot aroma
• Add milk for a richer mouthfeel
• Try iced Earl Grey with light sweetener and lemon

Who is this for: Fortnum & Mason Earl Grey Classic is aimed at tea lovers who appreciate a classic English blend with a reliable, fragrant bergamot finish.
