"Would you like a cup of tea, Milady?" Indeed I would.
This refreshing, citrusy tea recipe was introduced to me by my globe-trotting friend who told me this was her favorite variation of Earl Grey tea. I blended a batch and fell in love with it at first sip.
Milady Grey a blend of our signature Red Alchemy red (black) tea, bergamot oil, organic orange peel and organic lemon peel. Enjoy it with or without milk. See Brewing Instructions for more details.

Red Tea Specifics:
Harvest: Spring 2022
Mangjing Village, Jingmai Mountain, Yunnan Province, China
Elevation: 1200-1500 meters
Tree: Feral
Cultivar: Camellia sinensis var. Assamica
Loose leaf
Red (black) tea contains 40-60mg of caffeine per 8 oz cup. As the tea ages, the caffeine levels decline over time because light and leaf oxidation reduce caffeine. Thus, an aged red tea that is decades old may not contain much caffeine at all. If you have the willpower to resist drinking this tea and to instead store and age the tea, the taste profile will only deepen.
