Earl Grey Fancy
Couldn't load pickup availability
A good robust black leaf tea flavored with Bergamot. No muss, no fuss. Just your classic Earl Grey at a great price. A nice full-bodied cup good with or without milk. The leaf style is long and elegant. The earl grey flavoring is aromatic and strong.
A tea that is flavorful but strong. Milk benefits it. A good Earl Grey
I agree with the earlier review concerning the bergamot - just right.
But, what makes this Earl Grey "Fancy" is the addition of a very floral fragrance. It makes the flavor flowery, almost sweet. There is nothing wrong, per se, with this tea but, for me, it was too floral.
I gave what I purchased to a friend and they LOVE it.
So - again - there is nothing wrong with this tea, it's just not for everyone (is anything?)
Our Earl Grey blends differ in the base of tea used for each. For example, Earl Grey Fancy uses a robust India Black tea, Earl Grey Imperial uses a milder Darjeeling base, Grand Earl Grey uses a Keemun and so on. The bergamot flavoring remains the same but the end result changes depending on the base flavor of the tea. Customers have their favorites, of course. What makes a tea 'Earl Grey' is the addition of bergamot flavoring.
Steeping Instructions
Use 1 tsp. of leaf per 8 oz. cup.
Pour boiling water over leaves.
Steep 3-4 mins.
Milk may be added.
Tea Education
What makes a tea Earl Grey? The addition of bergamot. This can be a flavoring or essence, usually in a liquid form which is then added to the base tea. In the case of Earl Grey Fancy, we start with a robust black tea from India which is then carefully blended with bergamot flavoring. That's it. This is our basic Earl Grey. Other more elegant formulations may have botanicals or white needles in them to enhance the aesthetic beauty. They don't add any additional taste. Bergamot is a very aromatic flavoring, usually fairly strong.

Perfect flavor combination I order this tea over and I we again!
This tea is amazing, refreshing, clean and crisp. I absolutely love it. Since first tasting it a few months ago I've been having 2 to 3 giant sized tea cups (12 to 14 ozs.) a day. I still have about 1/4 of a 16 oz bag left but I am going to order more today because I do NOT want to run out of it. It is great hot or cold though I personally find it very cooling to drink it iced especially with the three digit temperatures we are having this summer. I'd give it more than five stars if I could.
Great to start the day with. I enjoy with milk.
Excellent tea!! Enjoyable all day!!
I love this tea! It has a great aroma and tastes great with milk and honey.
This tea may well be the exemplar of the type. It utterly entices both with its scent and its taste. One is transported to garden of aromatic flowers with the very first sip. This tea makes me look forward to getting up in the morning just so that I may savor the peerless flavor. The absolute clincher is the incredibly attractive price for this beautiful leaf. Ever so grateful to be able to enjoy this truly one of a kind.
This tea is LONG on flavor! It has just the tiniest hint of smoke; I don't know how to explain it, but I love it. Forcing myself to drink other teas in between just not to be gluttonous. Not the most sophisticated review, but then maybe there will be more left for me 🤣
This is a stellar tea -- smooth, complex flavor. If I could afford it, I would drink it daily. As it is, I save it for times when I can sit and savor it to enjoy its special qualities.
I’ve ordered this tea for the first time for turneric’s known anti inflammatory properties but, bit, the tea is not only good for joints but for the soul. It’s so soothing!
Oh gosh. I ain't got nuttin' to say. I love Silver Tips Tea. The company, the service, the variety of tea, all pretty darn perfect.
I am still enjoying my first purchase of Makaibari 2nd Flush 2025 - but HAD to order more when I saw the 20% off offer.
This tea is still giving me a wonderful flavor and aroma and I knew I would be buying more anyway.
For anyone hesitating to purchase ... this is a lovely tea - that even holds up really well with a little milk and sugar.
I strongly recommend it!!
My go to tea for that zen moment of sitting with a cuppa, warming your hands and taking in the somewhat citrusy aroma., anticipating the full yet mellow taste and feel of this tea. I had a stretch of not being able to find it ( my error) and I’m so happy to have it back in my cupboard and tea pot!
This is my go to morning cup. It is robust and well balanced; great with milk. Beautiful color.
One of my favorite teas, the grand keemun is one I'll keep rebuying.
I liked this tea. It's a nice, warm, playful afternoon tea when you need something extra. A bit sweet. If you don't have much of a sweet tooth, then you might not need to add any extra.
