Flavor Profile
For those seekng the absolute best an Earl Grey has to offer. The quality of each ingredient separately and their beautiful synthesis combined as Earl Grey defines who we are as a company. The tea is rich and resonant, the true (not synthetic) bergamot carries a citrusy lift, and the real vanilla bean finishes with creamy depth. Welcome to Earl Grey Paradise.
Impact
We partner with a tea company based in the high mountains of Yunnan where tea gardens are interspersed with old growth forest.
Lafaza Vanilla's community-based direct trade model protects worker's right to a fair price, and their collective of smallholder farms protects the region's biodiversity. They also fund libraries and help with clean water initiatives.
