Rishi Tea Earl Grey Organic Loose-Leaf Black Tea, 4 oz — Bergamot Citrus, Full-Bodied

Rishi Tea Earl Grey Organic is a caffeinated, loose-leaf black tea scented with Italian bergamot oil for a bright, floral-citrus classic.

Rooted in a nineteenth-century tea tradition, this 4 oz package delivers an authentic Earl Grey experience: full-bodied black tea leaves from China infused with the aromatic essence of bergamot oranges from Italy. The blend is certified organic and crafted by Rishi Tea with attention to sustainable sourcing and quality control. It steers clear of artificial flavors, offering a natural citrus top note that complements the robust black tea base.

How should I brew Rishi Organic Earl Grey for best flavor?

Use slightly cooler-than-boiling water and a measured amount of loose leaf to balance strength and brightness. Steep briefly to preserve the bergamot aroma and avoid bitterness; this brings out the tea’s floral and citrus qualities.

• Use 1.5 tablespoons (about 3–4 grams) per 12 fl oz (350 ml) of water
• Heat water to ~200°F (just below boiling)
• Steep 3–4 minutes, taste at 3 minutes to adjust
• Strain leaves and enjoy plain or with milk, lemon, or sweetener

What flavor profile and aroma can I expect from this blend?

The tea combines a robust black-tea backbone with a bright citrus lift from real bergamot oil, giving a floral, slightly perfumed nose and a clean, lingering finish. It reads as both lively and refined—citrus-forward without overpowering the underlying tea.

• Top note: fresh bergamot citrus and floral brightness
• Middle: full-bodied, malty black tea character
• Finish: smooth, clean, lightly astringent finish
• Aroma: pronounced bergamot perfume that opens when hot water hits the leaves

Is this tea organic and how does Rishi handle sourcing?

Yes — the blend is certified organic and made from ingredients sourced with sustainability and ethical practices in mind. Rishi emphasizes transparent supply chains and responsible relationships with farmers and partners.

• USDA organic ingredients and non-GMO sourcing
• Supplier relationships focused on fair, sustainable practices

How can I use this Earl Grey beyond a hot cup?

Its bright citrus and full black-tea body makes this Earl Grey versatile for culinary uses and cold preparations. Infuse or reduce it to add bergamot notes to recipes, or cold-brew for a smoother, chilled beverage.

• Cold-brew: steep overnight in cold water for a milder profile
• Baking: infuse cream or milk for custards, cakes, or syrups
• Cocktails & mocktails: use as a flavor base or simple-syrup infusion
• Tea blends: combine with lighter teas or herbs to create custom blends
