Lemon Pekoe

This is our alternative take on an Earl Grey using lemon oil to scent the tea instead of bergamot. Like our Earl Grey, the oil for this tea is produced by essential oil pioneer Gianfranco Todisco who selects the finest Sicilian lemons, grown naturally without chemicals, and presses them for our Lemon Pekoe. Then right here in London we blend teas from small farms in Darjeeling and Kerala to complement his fragrant oil.

Bright and sweet with a taste strongly reminiscent of lemon sherbet, this tea makes an ideal substitute for anyone who usually drinks Earl Grey or other citrus based blends. It is best brewed with water just off the boil and a teaspoon of tea per cup, and it can be taken with or without milk.
