Earl Grey Loose Leaf Black Tea - Reserve with Cornflowers
Our Earl Grey loose leaf black tea Reserve with Cornflowers is a refined, aromatic blend of bright high-grown Ceylon tea, fragrant bergamot and striking blue cornflower petals. Vivid in the cup and beautifully balanced on the palate, it delivers crisp black tea structure, lifted citrus fragrance and a smooth, polished finish — a premium Earl Grey to enjoy black, with milk, with lemon or served over ice.
Earl Grey Loose Leaf Black Tea with Cornflowers
Earl Grey Reserve with Cornflowers is a more elevated take on one of the world’s best-loved flavoured black teas. The base is high-grown Ceylon black tea selected for its clarity, briskness and naturally bright character, making it an excellent partner for the floral citrus lift of bergamot.
Blue cornflower petals add visual elegance throughout the dry leaf, creating a blend that looks as distinctive as it tastes.
Bright Ceylon Tea with Fragrant Bergamot
In the cup, this Earl Grey loose leaf black tea brews to a clear amber-copper liquor with lively aromatic lift. The bergamot is fragrant and expressive, bringing the unmistakable citrus-floral character that defines a fine Earl Grey.
The Ceylon base keeps the cup structured and refreshing, preventing the blend from feeling heavy or overly perfumed. The result is crisp, smooth and beautifully composed.
A Premium Earl Grey for Everyday and Occasion Drinking
This Reserve blend has enough polish to feel special, yet remains wonderfully versatile. It is equally suited to a quiet afternoon cup, a more elegant breakfast tea or a cooling iced serve in warmer weather.
For Earl Grey drinkers who want a fuller, more considered loose leaf version, this is an excellent choice.

Delicious Black, with Milk or with Lemon
Served black, the bergamot fragrance and brisk Ceylon tea character come through most clearly. A small splash of milk softens the cup while keeping the citrus note pleasantly present.
A slice of lemon adds further brightness and suits the tea particularly well. Brewed stronger and poured over ice, it also makes a refreshing summer Earl Grey with excellent aromatic lift.
How to Brew Earl Grey Reserve with Cornflowers
Use freshly boiled water at 100°C and add one heaped teaspoon per cup. Steep for 3 to 4 minutes.
For a lighter, especially bright cup served without milk, try a slightly shorter brew of around 2½ to 3 minutes. For iced Earl Grey, brew double strength, then pour directly over plenty of ice.

About High Teas London

There is no warehouse. That is rather the point, and it does have consequences.
Every brand here packs and posts its own orders, in its own boxes, with tracked delivery. The brands you can see are the ones that ship to your country, so your parcel is usually making a fairly short journey: a potter in Bristol posting to Britain, a studio in California posting within America.
Which does mean that an order from three brands arrives as three parcels, posted by three different people, on three different days. Whether that is an inconvenience or a small extended birthday rather depends on your temperament. It also means three lots of postage, shown before you pay, because we would rather mention it here than at the till.
Roughly how long
UK Domestic: 2–5 business days
Coming from further afield: 7–14 days. Usually quicker, but let's not prmise and it will be a lovely surprise!
Estimates, not promises. Each brand sends its own tracking, so you will be kept extremely well
Need help? Just ask.Our small team is here.
Fourteen days from delivery to tell us you have changed your mind, and fourteen more to get it back to us. No reason required, and we will not make you give one.
You are allowed to open it and try it on. Handle it as you would in a shop, and we will not quibble. Handle it as you would a rental car and we may deduct something for the difference.
Return postage is yours to pay, because the brand at the other end is a workshop rather than a warehouse. Some cover it themselves, and if yours does you will not be charged. Whatever you paid us to send it out, we refund either way, and the money goes back the way it came within fourteen days of the parcel reaching the brand.
A few things cannot come back, and only these: anything made or personalised to your order, sealed beauty products once the seal is broken, and anything perishable.
If something arrives damaged, faulty or not as described, none of the above applies. It costs you nothing, and we sort it.
Just email mail@brixbailey.com — we'll guide you through it.
