About Earl Grey

The Standard of Excellence

There is Earl Grey, and then there is this. Most commercial blends use chemical flavor sprays that taste like perfume. We use pure, cold-pressed oil from Italian Bergamot oranges. We infuse this into a robust organic black tea base to create a cup that is bright, citrusy, and deeply aromatic without ever tasting soapy.

Why It Works

The secret is the balance. We use a black tea with enough body to stand up to milk, but the star is the Bergamot. Because we use real essential oil, the flavor is sharp and zesty—like biting into a fresh orange rind—rather than the artificial "candy" flavor found in tea bags.

The London Fog Ritual

Make it frothy. This is the tea you need for a café-quality London Fog. Brew it strong (5 minutes), strain, and top with steamed oat milk and a drop of vanilla. The fat in the milk rounds out the citrus oil, creating a creamy, comforting masterpiece.

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

Aroma: A sharp, clean blast of citrus zest over a warm malty base.

Flavor: Bright and lively. The acidity of the bergamot wakes up the palate, followed by the smooth, biscuit-like notes of the black tea.

Finish: Clean and refreshing, with a lingering citrus note.

Why You'll Love It

The Oil Difference: We strictly avoid "natural flavorings." By using cold-pressed oil from the rind of the Bergamot fruit, we capture the beneficial essential oils that are traditionally used in aromatherapy to lift the mood.

The History: Legend has it this blend was a gift to a British Prime Minister, but we believe it belongs to everyone. It is the most popular flavored tea in the West for a reason.

Craft Your Cup

  • The Double Bergamot: If you love citrus, add a slice of fresh lemon to your cup. It amplifies the bergamot oil for a double-dose of zest.
  • Earl Grey Shortbread: Grind the leaves into a fine powder and mix them into your cookie dough. The oil infuses the butter with an incredible floral flavor.

Your Questions About Earl Grey, Answered.

Does this taste like perfume?

No. That "perfume" taste usually comes from artificial sprays. Because we use real, cold-pressed citrus oil, our Earl Grey tastes like fresh fruit zest—bright, clean, and tangy.

Can I use milk with this?

Yes. This is the traditional way to drink it. The tea base is strong enough to handle milk or cream, which helps mellow the citrus notes for a smoother cup.

What is a London Fog?

It is a tea latte made with Earl Grey, steamed milk, and vanilla. Our blend is specifically designed for this drink because the high-quality oil cuts through the milk perfectly.

FAQs Simply Answered

Are your teas organic?

The Short Answer: Yes. Every single leaf, root, and flower we source is Certified USDA Organic.

The Details: We believe that flavor starts in the soil. We strictly partner with growers who practice sustainable, organic farming, organic approved pesticides, no GMOs, and no "natural flavorings" sprayed on the leaves. While our Salem facility is a dedicated small-batch kitchen (and not yet a certified processing plant), our commitment to 100% organic ingredients is absolute. You are drinking pure nature, nothing else.

What are the "Refill Bags"?

We designed our system to be sustainable.

Our Signature Tin, protects the tea and contains all the detailed brewing and ingredient information.

The Refill: When you run low, you buy a Refill Bag.

Please Note: These biodegradable bags are designed as "Transport Vessels" only. They are not intended for individual sale. Upon arrival, please use the refill bag with into your YBTCO Tin. This ensures your tea stays fresh and you have the correct brewing instructions at hand.

Where is this made?

Handcrafted in Oregon.

Every batch of Yerba Buena tea is blended, tested, and packed in our dedicated tea kitchen in Salem, Oregon. We do not use co-packers or giant industrial machines. We blend in small lots to ensure that the oils are still volatile and the spices are still punchy when they reach your cup. It is a difference you can taste.

Is it safe for allergies (Gluten/Nuts)?

We keep it clean. All YBTCO teas are naturally Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free, and Vegan. Our facility does not process wheat, soy, peanuts, or dairy.

The Coconut Note: The only allergen present in our facility is Coconut (Tree Nut), which is used in specific blends like Maven Blend and Turmeric Spice. We adhere to strict cleaning protocols to prevent cross-contamination, but if you have a severe tree nut allergy, please shop with caution.

When will my order ship?

We know you are ready to brew. Because we hand-pack orders, they typically leave our Oregon kitchen within 2-3 business days.

  • Free Shipping: We cover the shipping on all US orders over $70.
  • The Carriers: We ship via USPS and UPS. You’ll get a tracking number the second your label is printed so you can follow the tea to your doorstep.
