Experience gourmet loose tea with our handcrafted, signature blends, and single-estate full leaf teas. Our selection of hand-picked, organic, & fair trade loose leaf tea supports traditional harvesting methods and offers premium flavor & health benefits. So drink up, and feel good about it!
Our collection of global tea represents all the traditional tea producing nations with their signature varieties. Over the past 4000 years, the tea plant spread to each of these nations, where it took on a unique form and flavor due to the regional terroir, namely the local soil quality, humidity, altitude, and temperature. Each region also developed specialized methods of processing the tea leaf to obtain a particular taste and form. Shaped by the traditions of their culture, local tea masters are still developing and perfecting regional tea around the world. Explore our collection!
Caffeine naturally occurs in the tea plant, causing all traditional teas to have a naturally occurring amount level of caffeine. Chemical processes can be used to extract most of the caffeine from tea leaves, however we do not carry these processed decaf teas. We do, however, have a variety of herbal teas that are naturally 100% caffeine free. On the other hand, other traditional teas are naturally highly caffeinated. These create a sustained buzz that won't result in the familiar unwanted "crash" that often follows coffee.
This unique blend takes traditional Earl Grey to the next level by combining the expected bergamot flavoring on full leaf black tea then adding the perfect proportions of other citruses, vanilla, licorice root, and mallow flowers. The result is a captivating aroma and a deep liquor with a well-balanced, smooth, bright, and slightly creamy flavor profile. This tea is for those who like to veer from tradition, explore new ground, and a must for those with fond memories of the orange-creamsicles of childhood. It pairs perfectly with strong cheeses or creme brulee.

Black Tea is known to banish fatigue, stimulate mental powers, and raise energy levels. It has been shown to reduce stress hormone levels and acts as a nerve sedative, frequently relieving headaches. Black tea contains a number of vitamins considered essential for maintaining health, including Carotene, a precursor to vitamin A, has antioxidant and protective properties, Vitamin B1 and Panothenic Acid, Vitamin C and Vitamin B6.
Black Tea also contains antioxidants which may help to protect your body from the ravages of aging and environmental effects. Because they are allowed to ferment completely before drying, most black teas are especially rich in those polyphenols which have been shown to be effective against dementia in aging as well as AIDS related dementia. These compounds penetrate the blood brain barrier and have also been found to reduce blood cholesterol levels.
Black tea is known for its antiviral and antibacterial properties. It can be topically applied to cuts, bruises and burns, and is famous for its sunburn relief and has been shown to have a positive effect on preventing tooth decay and gum disease.

Author: andy This is the smoothest earl grey I've ever have. I think this is the same as the Earl Grey ala Russe that was at the teaspot store, probably their most popular tea. Best tea on their list.
Author: MariLisa This is the best earl grey tea I've ever had. It's what hooked me on to The TeaSpot teas. First the tin is super cute. Then you open it and the sweet bouquet of bergamot is heavenly. When it's brewed that aroma translates into a wonderful flavor. Bravo! Once you try this, you'll never be able to drink a teabag earl grey again!
Author: michael gaffney The best, the smoothest, the most interesting Earl Grey ever. My wife brought this home one afternoon and I found quickly I could not possibly live without it. Thanks to Pier 1 for offering this exceptional tea for a while so I could locate The Tea Spot on line. You owe it to yourself to take a sip of this captivating, truly excellent tea. To me, the mallow flower adds the really relaxing tones. Dreamcicle? Maybe.
Author: Sondra Langham My mom used to make me drink Lipton Earl Grey at tea time, but this tea bears no resemblance to that watered down drink from my childhood. The TeaSpot’s Earl Grey is robust and flavorful. Two thumbs up.
Author: Bill Buchanan Wow, I hate to go against the grain here, but I wasn't enamored with this tea. The thing is, I love Earl Grey tea, and this just departed with tradition too much. It's good tea, but Earl Grey it really isn't. A bit more like Orange Peko if you ask me.
Author: Cynthia Zabilla I absolutely love this Earl Grey tea. I would actually give up coffee for this delicious tea! The smell the taste. It is wonderful!
Author: Carole Blaney I was a little hesitant when that first pound of tea got here - had quite a strong citrus scent. Nothing like a taste test, though, and it's quite mellow, not at all too citrusy. Highly recommended.
Author: Margaret Halloran While I think it tastes fine, it really isn't too 'Earl Grey' to me because of the overpowering vanilla.
Author: Mandy L This Earl Grey blew my socks off! It's so amazingly well balanced and blended. Nothing but smooth flavor and aroma.
Author: Kristina If you love bergamot (as I do), you will love this tea, no matter what it is called. It has a distinctive flavor to round out your tea collection.
Author: Christopher Kennel I stopped drinking coffee because this tea is so good. I actually prefer Lady Grey over traditional Earl Grey (Lady Grey is basically Earl Grey with citrus added in case you haven't tried it), so the Tea Spot's version of Earl Grey with citrus and vanilla was straight up my alley. I especially like it with a touch of milk or cream. I don't always drink Earl Grey, but when I do, I prefer The Tea Spot's Earl Grey.
Author: Lee Really the most disappointing Earl Grey experience I have ever had. Vanilla has no place in this blend. I tried to learn to appreciate it for the first 1/4 of the tin but failed. I retired the last 3/4 of the tin and went back to another brand.
Author: Wendy This is the most intoxicating tea I've ever experienced! I am totally hooked!!
Author: Wendy This is the most intoxicating tea I've ever experienced! I am totally hooked!!
Author: Brigette Sumeraj The bergamot ruined this one for me. Reminds me of a very old perfume. If it was the orange flavor alone, I think I would enjoy it.
Author: Marie Levesque I have never liked Earl Grey tea - could not stand the taste, but tried out the sampler, and was surprised at how good this tea is! It is my favorite go to tea in the morning!!! LOVE IT!!!
Author: Mo Love this twist on the classic! I will never go back to a straight Earl Grey with just bergamont again. I love the creativity in this blend and am a raving fan!!
Author: Patricia My husband hates Earl Grey tea, so I brewed him some of this without telling him what it was. Later I asked him if he liked it and he responded "yes". I haven't told him what he was drinking yet but will when I brew him another cup. Thanks Tea Spot, for the suggestion! The Assam tea is good also.
Author: Bonnie My favorite tea ever. So smooth and delicious, and just the right amount of caffeine!
Author: Nedra I love this tea whether it's like the "original" Earl Grey or not. The flavors help get me started in the morning which says a lot to a confirmed night owl.
Author: Audra Sparks Earl Grey is my favorite tea and this is the best I've ever had. The Tea Spot has a new loyal customer.
Author: Nicole Kohler You won't find a more distinct variety of Earl of grey, sweet interesting flavors...you can not put it into words but you MUST try it! it will not dissapoint!
Author: Dan Sorenson I have been battling gastro intestinal issues for the past 3 years. Recently my family turned me on to drinking loose leaf tea, and I can say that I truly believe your tea has helped me battle my stomach issues. Since drinking your Earl Grey and Meditative Mind I have not only found it easier to eat food, but am regaining my appetite and putting weight back on. You have made my life better through your products. Thank you
