Preparation tips
Earl Grey black tea.
Bulk bag 100 grams.
Fresh and floral black tea with bergamot.
Earl Grey translates from English as "Conte Grey". According to several legends, this famous Conte would be at the origin of the invention of Earl Grey. In one of them, he would have brought the recipe directly from China. In another, he would have been offered a bergamot lemon that he would have put in his tea, not knowing what else to do with it. But what is not legend is that Earl Grey is one of the most popular tea blends today. The English have even made it their specialty during their "tea time".
The little Bergamot perfectly completes the Earl Grey collection and more particularly the Ceylon Mademoiselle Sherlock black tea. Its floral notes will offer you a softer Earl Grey, ideal for a late afternoon tasting or for a light breakfast.
🌱 What is black tea?
Contrary to popular belief, black tea can be less rich in theine than green tea. Because it is not because it has more tannins (more bitter, thicker, more colored) that it will be more theinated than other colors of tea.
🍵 How to prepare your black tea properly
Black teas are less fragile than green or white teas, so they are prepared between 80 and 90°C.
A black tea will infuse for between 3 and 5 minutes. More, if you like your teas full-bodied. But be careful, the longer the infusion and the higher the water temperature, the more bitterness develops.
These instructions are important because they help preserve not only the taste of the tea, but also its health-giving properties.
❄️ Cold infusion
Put 10 to 20g of tea in 1L of cold or room temperature water. Divide into two disposable tea bags Le Jardin de Mademoiselle. Iced tea is not an exact science: the colder the water and the larger the container, the slower the tea will infuse. Taste after the first hour. If it does not have enough flavor, add 30 minutes. Taste every additional 30 minutes until its flavors are diffused into the water.
