About Earl Grey

A timeless classic, executed to perfection. Our organic Earl Grey tea is a tribute to the simple, elegant harmony of bold black tea and bright citrus. We start with a full-bodied, malty organic black tea and infuse it with the pure, cold-pressed oil of real bergamot, a fragrant Italian citrus fruit. The result is a cup that is both deeply comforting and wonderfully uplifting.

This is the quintessential afternoon tea, a sophisticated ritual beloved for centuries. Its familiar, bright aroma and smooth, robust flavor make it a dependable companion for a quiet moment or a lively conversation. It’s a classic for a reason—a perfect, invigorating, and utterly satisfying cup, every time.

Organic Ingredients
  • Organic Black Tea
  • Organic Bergamot Oil
Tasting Notes

Aroma: An uplifting bouquet of bright, zesty Italian bergamot and fresh malt.

Flavor: A perfect harmony, with the citrusy spark of bergamot dancing atop a smooth, slightly sweet black tea base.

Finish: Exceptionally clean, smooth, and wonderfully refreshing.

Why You'll Love It

Pure Bergamot Oil: We use only high-quality, organic bergamot oil, cold-pressed directly from the rind of the fruit. This provides a pure, authentic citrus taste that is bright and aromatic, without the artificial aftertaste found in lesser Earl Greys that use 'flavorings'.

A Story of British Tradition: Named after a 19th-century British Prime Minister, Earl Grey tea is a cornerstone of tea culture. Its invention marked a moment of flavor innovation that has since become a beloved global tradition, synonymous with sophistication and comfort.

FAQs Simply Answered

Are YBTCO’s Teas Truly Organic?

Yes, every ingredient we source is certified USDA Organic. Our commitment is to craft our blends using only teas and botanicals from growers whose agricultural practices steward a better tomorrow.

While Yerba Buena Tea Co. as a company has not yet completed its own formal USDA Organic certification, our standards for purity and sustainability are unwavering. When you sip our tea, you’re tasting a commitment to clean soil, fresh air, and the honest labor of growers who share our belief that tea should be as good for the earth as it is for your cup. You can taste this commitment in our Connoisseur Collection.

Where Are Your Teas Blended and Packaged?

Every YBTCO tea is hand-blended in small batches in our dedicated tea kitchen located in beautiful Salem, Oregon.

Our process is slow by design. Blending in small lots allows us to ensure every pouch delivers maximum freshness, flavor, and the just-picked aroma that makes our teas special. It's a level of craftsmanship you can taste in every cup, especially in our Connoisseur Collection. We package each order with care so you can enjoy a touch of the Pacific Northwest, wherever you are.

Do Your Teas Contain Allergens or Gluten?

Your safety and enjoyment matter deeply to us. All YBTCO teas are naturally gluten-free and blended in a dedicated facility that does not process tree nuts (except coconut), wheat, barley, or rye.

The only common allergen you’ll find in our collection is coconut, which we use in select blends like our Maven Blend for its creamy, tropical note. We use no added flavorings, colorings, or artificial ingredients, just whole leaves, spices, and botanicals as nature intended.

If you have specific questions or sensitivities, our team is always happy to help you find the perfect tea with peace of mind. Please feel free to contact us.

What Is Your Tea Refill?

We believe good tea, and good habits, should be sustainable. That’s why YBTCO offers our teas in two forms to reduce waste and keep your tea fresh:

  • Start with a Signature Tin: Our beautiful, reusable, and recyclable tins are perfect for keeping your tea fresh on the shelf. They also make a wonderful present, which is why they are featured in our Gifts for Tea Lovers Collection.

  • Restock with a Refill Bag: When you're running low, simply order a refill bag to top up your tin. Our refill bags use minimal packaging and ensure you always have the freshest possible tea on hand.

This practice means less environmental impact and a ritual that feels good every time you open the lid.

What Is Your Shipping Policy?

We strive to get your tea to you as quickly and efficiently as possible so you can start enjoying it. Here’s what you can expect:

  • Processing Time: All orders are hand-packed with care and typically ship from our Salem, Oregon tea kitchen within 2 - 3 business days.
