Conceived around historically traded luxuries, this Earl Grey-style tea adds vanilla and cornflowers to the traditional bergamot and black tea blend.
Not your typical Earl Grey, this is a softer, creamier take on the classic – a premium black tea base scented with bergamot, rounded with vanilla, and finished with blue cornflower petals.
This 'traders' blend combines three of the most heavily traded commodities of the 18th and 19th centuries: tea, bergamot oil, and vanilla. Each of these ingredients were once expensive enough to be smuggled, monopolised, or faked.
While the classic Earl Grey signature is here – bright bergamot citrus over malty black Ceylon tea – the vanilla softens the citrus while the cornflowers add a faint dry-floral lift. Less brisk than a London-style Earl Grey, gentler in the cup, and absolutely delightful with milk.

How to brew Traders Grey
Brewer's NoteA straightforward, forgiving brew. Strong enough to stand up to milk well, so adjust the steep as preferred: shorter for a smoother black cup, a touch longer if you're adding milk.
