Harney & Sons Organic Earl Grey Loose Leaf Black Tea — 16 oz, Natural Bergamot, Bright Citrus

Harney & Sons Organic Earl Grey is a certified organic loose-leaf black tea blended with natural bergamot oil for a bright, citrus-forward classic in a 16 oz package.

This 16-ounce bag combines organic Assam from the Brahmaputra region and Korakundah tea from southern India, all blended with natural bergamot oil to create a balanced, aromatic Earl Grey. Because both base teas are organic and lightly aromatic, the bergamot's lemony character comes forward cleanly without masking the tea’s underlying malt and body. The result is a versatile afternoon tea that stewards organic farming and contributes to environmental causes through Harney & Sons’ 1% for the Planet commitment.

What makes this Earl Grey different from other blends?

This blend uses two distinct organic black teas—Assam and Korakundah—selected for complementary flavor profiles. The lighter aromatic quality of these teas lets the bergamot oil shine, producing a brighter citrus note than blends with heavier, smoky bases.

• Made from certified organic Assam (northern Brahmaputra) and Korakundah (southern India).
• Natural bergamot oil adds a clear, lemony top note rather than overwhelming flavor.
• Loose-leaf format preserves whole-leaf qualities for fuller aroma and infusion control.

How should I brew this 16 oz loose leaf Earl Grey for best flavor?

Use freshly boiled water slightly cooled for black tea and steep 3–4 minutes for a balanced cup, or adjust time for stronger or milder strength. Measure about 1 teaspoon (2–3 g) per 8 oz water, increasing for a fuller-bodied cup or when using a larger teapot.

• Water temperature: 200–212°F (just off boil).
• Steep time: 3–4 minutes standard; 4–5 minutes for a stronger brew.
• Suggested ratio: 1 tsp loose leaf per 8 oz water; 1.5–2 tsp for robust flavor.

What are the flavor notes and how can I serve it?

The tea delivers a round, rich black tea base with a clear citrus lift from bergamot. Serve it hot with a slice of lemon to amplify the bergamot, or add milk and a touch of sweetener for a creamier, traditional experience—both approaches work well depending on your preference.

• Taste profile: malty black tea body with bright, lemony bergamot top notes.
• Serving suggestions: plain, lemon slice, or a dash of milk and sugar.
• Flexible for iced Earl Grey: brew double strength and chill over ice.

Is this tea ethically sourced and what certifications does it have?

The blend is certified organic and Kosher, reflecting ingredient and production standards. Harney & Sons also participates in 1% for the Planet, directing a portion of sales to environmental nonprofits that support conservation and restoration projects.

• Certified Organic ingredients from Assam and Korakundah estates.
• Kosher certification ensures adherence to dietary and handling standards.
• Harney & Sons donates 1% of sales to environmental nonprofit partners.

Who is this for? Harney & Sons Organic Earl Grey suits anyone seeking a classic Earl Grey made from organic, full-leaf black teas—tea drinkers who prefer a citrus-forward cup, cooks and bartenders looking for a reliable tea ingredient, and shoppers who prioritize organic certification and environmental giving. With 16 ounces of loose leaf, it’s also practical for households that brew multiple cups daily or for those who enjoy experimenting with strength and serving styles.
