Earl Grey Decaf: Twinings Earl Grey Teas

Earl Grey Decaf

The story goes that Earl Grey, the Georgian prime minister, was given cases of this tea by a Chinese Mandarin. He liked it so much he brought it home and asked Twinings to recreate it for him. And that's what we've been doing ever since. This decaffeinated version is light, fragrant and with a distinctive bergamot flavour, our Earl Grey still has all the taste of the original. And we like to think it's still the best.

We are delighted to be able to bring you this pack of individually wrapped teabags, normally only available outside of the UK, available here exclusively to Twinings Direct.

HOW TO MAKE EARL GREY DECAF

We believe that how you make your decaffeinated Earl Grey is equally as important as the tea you use, so here are our tips:

Use freshly drawn cold water
Use water at a “rolling boil” (100?C)
Use 1 teabag per cup or 1 teabag per person in a teapot (“one for the pot” isn’t needed!)
Steep for 3 to 5 minutes (or to your taste)
This light, delicately citrus tea is best drunk without milk (a slice of lemon is great) or with just a touch of milk

… and for freshness every time, keep your tea somewhere cool, dark, dry and airtight!
