Duchess Grey Black Tea

$7.00

BLACK TEA | MODERATE CAFFEINE | FLORAL & LIME

Earl Grey is popular. We have at least five versions and they are all great. This is the most unique one. Here you get lime leaf alongside the bergamot. Lime leaf is not lemon, not a sharper version of it, not a substitute for it. What comes off the cup is floral and green and bright and considerably harder to name. No other grey on our shelf tastes like it.

Sold in 1 oz quantities. Makes 6-10 cups of tea.

Ingredients

black tea, orange pieces, cornflower and rose petals, lime leaves, all natural botanical extracts

Some teas earn their names through tradition. This one got its name because Season 2 of Bridgerton came out and we were completely gone on it, so Duchess Grey felt like the only option. The name stuck, and scooping a bag still puts us back in those evenings when everybody we knew was talking about the same romance and the same scandal.

If Duchess Grey has you exploring the Earl Grey family, Moonlit Earl Grey is the bolder, more layered direction with vanilla and crème alongside the bergamot, and Victorian Era Earl Grey is the unexpected one with rosemary that surprises almost everyone who smells the tin.

  • How to brew it hot

    1 teaspoon per 8 oz, 212°F, steep 3 to 5 minutes. Black tea needs the full boil.

  • How to make iced tea

    2 teaspoons per 8 oz, same water and steep time, then pour over a full glass of ice. Double strength so the ice doesn't dilute it.

  • How to cold brew

    Use 1.5 teaspoons of loose leaf tea per 8 ounces of filtered water.
    Steep in your fridge for 8 to 12 hours.
    Strain out the leaves and enjoy!

Beyond the Cup: Make Something Tasty with This Duchess Grey

Duchess Grey Tea Loaf

Makes 1 loaf, about 10 slices

Dried fruit soaks overnight in hot, strong brewed Duchess Grey Black tea, giving this loaf a deep, boozy-tasting sweetness without a drop of alcohol.

Ingredients

  • 1 1/4 cups Duchess Grey Black tea, brewed hot and strong
  • 1 cup dried sultanas
  • 3/4 cup yellow raisins
  • 1/2 cup prunes, chopped
  • 3 tbsp dried apricots, chopped
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1 3/4 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 9" x 5" loaf tin (or 2 small tins)
  • Butter, for greasing
  • Parchment paper

Instructions

  1. Combine the chopped raisins, sultanas, prunes, and apricots in a small bowl. Pour the hot tea over the dried fruit, mix well, cover, and soak overnight until the fruit absorbs all the liquid.
  2. The next day, preheat oven to 300°F. Grease and line the loaf tin with parchment paper.
  3. Add the sugar and eggs to the bowl of soaked fruit and mix well. Add the flour, baking powder, and salt, and mix thoroughly. Excess liquid is fine; if the mixture is too dry, add a little milk.
  4. Pour the batter into the tin(s) until level with the top. Bake for 1 hour 45 minutes, or until the loaf is risen and just firm to the touch. Check after 1 hour; if the top is browning too quickly, cover with foil and continue baking.
  5. Once done, allow the loaf to cool in the tin for 10 to 15 minutes.
  6. Remove from the tin and discard the parchment paper. Cut into thick slices and serve with butter.
