One of the most sought after of the black tea blends, Earl Grey is made with a mild tasting tea leaf and scented with the natural oil extracted from the Bergamot plant, which is similar to an orange and produces a smooth yet zesty citrus flavor. While the light citrus notes of the bergamot plant are well-suited to scenting tea if you notice a “soapy” taste you have simply used too much. Also available in decaf.

Absolutely beautiful tea. I'm particular about my Flavored Black and this Earl Grey delivers. The aromatic character is so clean and well-defined. Contour Coffee sources quality leaves.

Received this as a holiday gift and immediately ordered more for myself. The floral and aromatic combination is unlike anything I can find locally. Contour Coffee is a hidden gem.

Discovered this at the Lakewood store and I've been ordering it shipped to California ever since. The Earl Grey is consistently excellent. Beautiful bergamot aroma when you open the bag.

Really, really good tea. The Earl Grey has a refined aromatic character that you don't find in supermarket teas. The leaves are whole and intact — you can see the quality.

I've tried dozens of teas and this Earl Grey from Contour Coffee is exceptional. The bergamot notes are perfectly balanced — not overpowering, just right. My daily tea for over a year now.

Bought this on a Denver trip and had to reorder. The Earl Grey is quality tea — citrus and smooth. Shipping was quick and the packaging kept everything fresh.
