Palais des Thés Blue of London Earl Grey Loose Leaf Tea — 3.5oz Tin, Bergamot & Cornflower, 20–25 Cups

Blue of London is Palais des Thés’ refined Earl Grey loose-leaf blend—black tea scented with bright bergamot and dotted with cornflower petals, packaged in a 3.5 oz tin that brews roughly 20–25 cups.

This blend delivers a fragrant, citrus-forward take on classic Earl Grey—carefully balanced so the bergamot lifts the black tea without overwhelming it, while blue cornflower petals add a visual and aromatic flourish. The tea arrives as high-quality loose leaf in a compact tin, making it convenient for everyday steeping or for gifting to a tea lover who appreciates traditional flavors with a polished presentation.

What flavor profile should I expect from Blue of London?

Expect a lively citrus top note from bergamot layered over a rounded black tea base, with a subtle floral whisper from cornflower petals. The result is bright but smooth—tea-forward rather than perfumed—so it works well plain or with a splash of milk.

• Primary taste: bold black tea body
• Top note: zesty, slightly sweet bergamot
• Finishing note: delicate cornflower floral nuance
• Texture: clean, medium-bodied liquor

How should I brew this loose-leaf Earl Grey for best results?

For a balanced cup, use freshly boiled water just off the boil and a moderate leaf-to-water ratio. Steep time controls strength—shorter for a lighter, aromatic cup, longer for a fuller-bodied brew—and the tin keeps leaves fresh between uses.

• Water temperature: 95–100°C (203–212°F)
• Leaf amount: about 1 heaping teaspoon per 8 oz (cup)
• Steep time: 3–4 minutes for classic strength
• Serving tips: try hot, iced, or with a splash of milk or a touch of honey

How many cups will one 3.5 oz tin make and how should I store it?

A 3.5 oz (100 g) tin produces approximately 20–25 standard cups, depending on how much leaf you use per brew. Keep the tin sealed in a cool, dry place away from strong odors and sunlight to preserve the tea’s aroma and flavor.

• Yield: roughly 20–25 servings per tin
• Storage: reseal tin, avoid heat and light
• Freshness tip: use within a few months for peak aroma
• Reuse: leaves can be briefly re-steeped once more for a lighter second cup
