Global Tea Championship Winner
1st Place, Earl Grey Black

Majestic Earl Grey is one of the most awarded Earl Grey teas in the world.

This premium blend has consistently earned 1st Place in the highly competitive “Earl Grey Black” category at the Global Tea Championship every year it was entered since 2014—except in 2018, when it placed 2nd.

At its essence, an Earl Grey tea is a blend of black tea and bergamot. Majestic Earl Grey stays true to this classic profile but stands apart through the exceptional quality of its ingredients. It features high-grade black teas from premier organic gardens in India and China, delicately infused with pure cold-pressed Italian bergamot oil. (Albanian blue cornflower is added for visual appeal and contributes little to the overall flavor.)

The use of full leaf tea is key to its refined taste. Whole leaves steep slowly, allowing the flavor to develop with depth and complexity. They release fewer tannins—resulting in a smoother, less bitter cup—and retain more aromatic oils for a richer, fuller aroma.

We recommend enjoying this tea in its natural state, without the addition of milk or sugar.

Ingredients: Black tea, bergamot oil, blue cornflowers.

Laoshan is a small village near the sea in northeast China. Teas from this region benefit from a unique microclimate featuring coastal breezes, rocky soil, and fresh spring water.

Laoshan black teas are usually small and tippy, lacking the white pekoe-style hairs that give black teas their golden color.

Classic Laoshan Black, grown under the shadow of a sacred mountain, is very smooth and viscous with a robust flavor that has a distinct dark chocolate bite.

People often question whether sugar was added to this tea, but it's simply the weather and soil that make this tea naturally sweet and thick.

Classic Laoshan Black is one of our personal favorites at Tea Runners. It's a tea we always have on our shelf at home!

If you love this tea, you may also want to check out the more expensive versions, including Imperial Grade Laoshan Black and Laoshan Village Black Needles. Both have a similar flavor profile, but undergo more strict plucking and processing, creating slightly different flavor profiles.

This lovely flavored black tea has all the taste and aroma of the indulgent dessert itself. Buttery, creamy, and a lingering aftertaste of caramelized brown sugar.

Dessert in a cup!
