STEVEN SMITH TEAMAKER Lord Bergamot Earl Grey Tea, 15 Plant-Based Sachets — Reggio Calabria Bergamot, Full-Leaf Ceylon & Assam

Lord Bergamot is Steven Smith Teamaker’s refined Earl Grey: a blend of Ceylon and Assam full leaves scented with Reggio Calabria bergamot for bright citrus-malt balance.

This artisan Earl Grey—marketed as Lord Bergamot No. 55—pairs single-estate Ceylon Dimbula and Uva teas with Assam grains to create a layered black-tea base that carries bergamot essential oil notes from Reggio Calabria, Italy. Packaged as 15 plant-based, microplastic-free sachets (each 1.2 oz), the tea is crafted in smaller batches to preserve leaf integrity and nuanced flavor. The result is a versatile, caffeinated black tea that works hot or iced and fits into everyday routines while prioritizing sustainability.

What flavor profile can I expect from Lord Bergamot?

Lord Bergamot reaches across malt-forward Assam strength and the brisk, floral qualities of Ceylon Dimbula and Uva. Bergamot oil provides a clean citrus top note that brightens the tea without overwhelming its black-tea backbone.

• Malt and honey-like depth from Assam.
• Brisk, floral lift from Ceylon Dimbula and Uva.
• Fresh, citrus aroma from Reggio Calabria bergamot oil.
• Balanced finish that’s not overly sweet or perfumed.

How should I brew these 1.2 oz sachets for best results?

Use freshly boiled water and steep for a recommended 3–4 minutes to extract full flavor without excessive bitterness. The plant-based sachets allow good leaf expansion, so give the tea room to unfurl for a more expressive cup.

• Water temperature: 100°C / 212°F (boiling).
• Steep time: 3–4 minutes for a balanced cup; adjust shorter or longer to taste.
• Sachet use: one sachet per 8–12 oz cup; squeeze gently before removing.
• Serve hot or chilled; refrigerate brewed tea within two hours for iced versions.

What sustainability and ingredient details matter to conscious buyers?

Steven Smith Teamaker emphasizes small-batch, full-leaf sourcing and plant-based sachets to reduce microplastic pollution and preserve tea quality. The bergamot oil originates from Reggio Calabria, ensuring a recognizable citrus character, and the blend uses whole-leaf grades rather than dust or fannings.

• 15 sachets per pack, each sachet commercially compostable and microplastic-free.
• Full-leaf teas from Ceylon Dimbula, Uva, and Assam—sustainably grown in smaller lots.
• Bergamot essential oil sourced from Reggio Calabria, Italy.
• Packaged to protect aroma and leaf integrity for shelf stability.

When and how can I enjoy Lord Bergamot?

Lord Bergamot is flexible across routines: it makes a lively morning cup, a mid-afternoon pick-me-up, or an elegant base for milk and citrus-forward tea preparations. Its body stands up to milk and sweeteners yet remains bright enough to drink plain or over ice.

• Morning energizer: pairs well with savory breakfasts.
• Afternoon companion: bright citrus keeps the palate refreshed.
• Iced tea: brew double strength, chill, and serve over ice with a slice of lemon.
• Tea lattes: combines smoothly with milk or plant-based alternatives.

Who is this for: Lord Bergamot suits tea drinkers who want a thoughtful, full-leaf Earl Grey with clear citrus notes and a robust black-tea backbone—ideal for anyone seeking a premium, sustainably minded classic. Choose this pack if you value leaf quality, a balanced flavor profile, and compostable sachets that simplify brewing without sacrificing taste.
