Fair trade, fabulous and fragrant with orange bergamot and cornflowers, this delicate brew will take you gently through the day from dawn till dusk. And oh so good with a soul nourishing piece of cake…

Why we made this:

An Earl Grey was the first tea Kerry ever had. Soaked to the skin & freezing after a cave walk in the south seas, a thermos was proffered & it was the most comforting, nourishing mouthful she had ever tasted. Over the years it has remained a favourite, and she was determined to create her own perfect brew. Every cafe serves an Earl Grey variation – but Shades of Grey delivers subtle floral & fragrant notes that are truly divine.

Health Benefits:

Full of beneficial antioxidants, (including catechin, an antioxidant that fights oral infections), studies have shown positive impact of black tea on our blood sugar & cholesterol levels, improving ‘good’ cholesterol levels & reducing ‘bad’. Some interesting studies have shown that when served with lemon, the antioxidant level improves even more, while it is slightly lowered by adding milk. BUT, adding HIGH fat milk is better than adding LOW fat milk. Unlike the dehydrating properties of coffee, tea helps you stay hydrated & maintains the body’s fluid balance due to its high potassium content. The bergamot oil in Shades of Grey is understood to balance metabolism & the digestive process, by activating the secretions of digestive acids & enzymes. It can lower blood sugar levels & is thought to have pain relieving properties, making it a gentle choice for headaches. It has been shown to improve circulation & is believed to have an uplifting effect on mood.

Brewing & Serving instructions:

Serving Size 3g

As always, warm your pot (or cup), then use 1 teaspoon of tea per person (plus one for the pot) & add boiling water. Wrap or cover your pot to keep cosy as you allow it five minutes to brew to perfection. Serve with lemon or milk, & make sure you choose a favourite china teacup to serve. Find a quiet spot in your home or garden to sit, sip & meditate on just how good life is…
