Cream of Earl Grey – 15 Pyramid Tea Bags by Genuine Tea

Smooth, creamy Cream of Earl Grey in convenient pyramid tea bags

Cream of Earl Grey is a variation of traditional Earl Grey black tea. It combines premium Ceylon black tea with the bright citrus flavour of bergamot and smooth vanilla, creating a richer, creamier cup while preserving the classic Earl Grey character. It's an excellent choice for anyone who enjoys Earl Grey but prefers a softer, more comforting flavour.

Crafted with whole-leaf black tea from Sri Lanka and packaged in biodegradable pyramid tea bags, this blend delivers the full flavour and aroma of loose-leaf tea with the convenience of a perfectly portioned tea bag. The spacious pyramid design allows the tea leaves to fully unfurl during brewing, producing a richer infusion than many traditional flat tea bags.

Origin & craftsmanship

This blend is crafted using whole-leaf Ceylon black tea from the Dimbula region of Sri Lanka, a high-elevation tea-growing region known for producing bright, aromatic black teas with exceptional balance. Natural bergamot and vanilla flavours are carefully blended with real cornflower petals to create a smooth, refined twist on traditional Earl Grey without overpowering the tea's natural character.
