"The product itself was good quality as usual. Packaging changed to a more unattractive version personally. Disappointed that the delivery was through the Amazon company's distribution center."

Indulge in a masterfully refined expression of a timeless British classic: Earl Grey Metro Blend Coarse Loose Leaf Tea. This elegant composition features a premium black tea foundation seamlessly infused with the crisp, invigorating essence of pure, organic-compliant bergamot citrus oil. Poured into your cup, it reveals a brilliant, shimmering coppery hue and throws an unbelievable, deeply aromatic bouquet. Beautifully accented with striking blue cornflower petals, this blend delivers a remarkably smooth, well-rounded body defined by a mild, pleasant astringency and a refreshing, bright citrus finish.
The secret to our Metro Blend's celebrated depth lies in its precise, multi-origin botanical architecture. Our tea masters unify robust, maltier lots from premier Chinese and Indian estates with the bright, floral high-grown leaves harvested from Sri Lanka's most renowned tea districts. This strategic blend provides a sturdy, flavor-dense canvas that perfectly carries the volatile citrus top notes of the bergamot without becoming overpowered. The addition of natural cornflower petals provides a beautiful visual contrast to the coarse-cut leaves and softens the blend's mouthfeel, creating an exquisite, boutique-grade afternoon tea experience optimized for the discerning palate.

"Have bought tea here for years. They have good products. They often offer a discount with a promo code, but unfortunately it rarely actually shows up in the email so you can use it. Also, my favorite tea used to come in 16 ounce containers but now seems to only be in 4 ounce containers. Not sure why since it’s probably the most popular tea they have."
