Harney & Sons Decaffeinated Earl Grey Loose Leaf Tea 16 oz — Ceylon Base, Natural Bergamot

Harney & Sons Decaffeinated Earl Grey is a full‑bodied Ceylon black tea gently flavored with natural bergamot oil, offering the classic citrus‑aromatic Earl Grey experience without the caffeine.

This loose leaf 16 oz pouch starts with decaffeinated Ceylon tea and is finished with carefully dosed natural oil of bergamot to recreate the familiar floral‑citrus profile of Earl Grey. The blend preserves black‑tea richness and briskness while eliminating most of the caffeine, making it a versatile option for afternoon and evening sipping. Harney & Sons packages this tea in a one‑pound bag intended to yield roughly 120–140 cups, depending on how strong you brew it.

How does the decaffeination affect flavor?

Decaffeination can sometimes strip delicate tasting notes, but this blend starts from a robust Ceylon base chosen to retain body. The added bergamot oil restores the signature aromatic top notes, giving a bright citrus lift over a malty black‑tea core.

• Decaffeinated Ceylon selected for structural richness
• Natural bergamot oil reapplies traditional Earl Grey aroma
• Balanced mouthfeel that stands up to milk or sweeteners

What brewing method brings out the best in this loose leaf Earl Grey?

Use water just off the boil and steep for 3–5 minutes for a balanced cup; shorter for lighter flavor, longer for stronger extraction. Measure about 1 teaspoon per 8 fl oz, or adjust to taste—this tea holds up well to stronger infusions if you prefer a bolder profile.

• Water temperature: 200–212°F (near boiling)
• Steeping time: 3–5 minutes, adjust to preference
• Tea-to-water ratio: ~1 tsp per 8 fl oz; increase for larger mugs

Can I use this tea with milk, sweeteners, or in recipes?

Yes—its Ceylon base provides enough structure to pair well with milk and common sweeteners, and the bergamot remains perceptible even with additions. The blend is also suitable for culinary uses like infused syrups, baking, or chilled tea concentrates.

• Pairs well with dairy and plant milks
• Works in simple syrup for cocktails or desserts
• Great for iced tea and concentrated brews for recipes

How much tea comes in the package and how many cups will it yield?

This product contains 16 oz (1 lb) of loose leaf tea. Cup yield depends on your brewing strength; at a standard 1 teaspoon per cup, expect approximately 120–140 cups, with fewer cups if you brew stronger or use more leaves per infusion.

• Net weight: 16 oz / 1 lb of loose leaf tea
