Lady Londonderry Earl Grey Mint Loose Leaf Tea
Our Earl Grey mint loose leaf tea Lady Londonderry is a bright, refreshing afternoon blend that pairs aromatic bergamot with cool, clean mint over a smooth black tea base. Fragrant, lively and beautifully balanced, it offers classic Earl Grey citrus depth with a lighter, fresher finish — an elegant cup for afternoon tea, especially alongside delicate sandwiches, shortbread or a warm scone.
Earl Grey Mint Loose Leaf Tea for Afternoon Drinking
Lady Londonderry is a distinctive house blend designed with the afternoon cup firmly in mind. It takes the floral citrus warmth of Earl Grey and adds a measured note of mint, creating a tea that feels refined, refreshing and gently uplifting in character.
The bergamot gives the blend its familiar aromatic depth, while the mint lifts the finish and keeps the cup bright from first sip to last.
Bergamot Citrus with a Cool Mint Finish
In the cup, this Earl Grey mint loose leaf tea brews to a rich amber-copper liquor with a fresh, inviting aroma. The first impression is classic Earl Grey: softly floral, citrusy and smooth.
Then the mint arrives, clean and cooling, sharpening the edges of the bergamot without overwhelming it. The result is a well-judged balance of warmth and freshness that feels especially suited to the middle of the day.
A Refined House Blend with Real Character
This is a tea for those who enjoy Earl Grey but want something a little more individual. The mint makes the blend feel lighter and more vivid, while the black tea base gives it enough substance to remain satisfying.
It is elegant without being delicate, aromatic without becoming overpowering and versatile enough to enjoy either black or with a small splash of milk.

Lovely with Afternoon Tea
Lady Londonderry sits beautifully beside delicate sandwiches, buttery shortbread or a well-made scone. Its citrus and mint notes give it a freshness that complements lighter teatime foods particularly well.
Served black, the bergamot and mint are at their clearest. Add a dash of milk for a softer, more rounded cup.
How to Brew Lady Londonderry Earl Grey Mint Tea
Use freshly boiled water cooled slightly to around 95°C. Add one heaped teaspoon per cup and steep for 3 to 4 minutes.
A 3-minute brew gives a brighter, more mint-led cup. A 4-minute infusion brings out more body from the black tea base and a fuller bergamot character.
For a stronger result, extend towards 5 minutes, though the blend is at its most balanced within the shorter brewing range.
Ingredients
Black tea, bergamot flavouring, mint.
About High Teas London
High Teas London has been sourcing distinctive loose leaf teas and infusions since 2008.

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.
