Tea Forte’s Earl Grey in a 1 lb loose tea pouch combines robust Assam base leaves with the classic citrusy aroma of bergamot for an everyday luxury tea that’s suitable for home, office, or foodservice use.

What flavor profile can I expect from this Earl Grey?

This Earl Grey balances a strong, malty black tea backbone with bright, citrusy bergamot notes that lift the brew. The result is a clear, aromatic cup that holds up well to milk or a squeeze of lemon, and stands out whether served hot or iced.

• Base: robust Assam leaves for body and maltiness
• Top notes: natural bergamot oil for a citrus-forward aroma
• Finish: clean, brisk aftertaste that isn’t overly bitter
• Versatility: complementary to milk, honey, lemon, or simple sweeteners

How do I brew the best cup from the 1 lb loose pouch?

Use freshly boiled water at about 208°F and steep 1–2 teaspoons per 8 ounces for 5–7 minutes to unlock the full flavors of the full-leaf blend. If you prefer a lighter cup, shorten steeping time or use less leaf; for stronger, increase leaf or steep longer but watch to avoid over-extraction.

• Measure: 1–2 teaspoons per 8 oz cup
• Temperature: bring water to near-boil (≈208°F)
• Time: steep 5–7 minutes for optimal flavor
• Tools: infuser, fine strainer, or teapot for loose leaves

How many cups does this one-pound bag yield and how should I store it?

The pouch contains enough loose leaf to brew about 160–175 standard 8-ounce cups, depending on how strong you make each cup. To preserve freshness, keep the pouch sealed in a cool, dry place away from light and strong odors; transferring leaves to an airtight tin or canister is recommended for long-term storage.

• Yield: approximately 160–175 cups per one-pound bag
• Storage: airtight container, cool and dark location
• Refill: ideal for filling Tea Forte loose-tea canisters
• Rotation: consume within several months for best aroma
