All About Tea
Earl Grey Tea
Earl Grey and Lady Grey teas have been favourites for generations. Both teas have ardent followers who drink nothing else. When Cotswold tea started in 2003 the company looked very hard at whether or not it should produce an Earl Grey tea. Extensive trials were held in India and Kathmandu; the tea had to offer something to the public that was not there already.
Earl Grey tea is tea containing Oil of Bergamot whilst Lady Grey contains oil of Bergamot and flavours from Citrus fruits. After trials in India the real work began with a whole series of tea tastings across England. One of the Earl Grey teas we had produced had the Wow factor. Tasting after tasting revealed people had an overwhelming favourite. This was a delicately flavoured Earl Grey made with a top quality Orthodox Assam. The tea has been a consistent best seller since it was launched. In the majority of tearooms that we supply this is the most popular tea served after the house tea. Many of our mail order customers return time and time again for this tea and feed back how delighted they are with it. Customers who are served this tea in a tea room have sought us out to try it for themselves at home.

Dear Customers
For a change some Good News! The Shops are OPEN and I am back in the office. My sister has had a wonderful baby boy called Oliver James and they are both doing well. Oliver was born on 21st Feb and is keeping his mum Joanne and Dad Ian very busy!
The new Indian tea is now available so those of you who love the First Flush Assam can refill your cupboards!
I am hopeful that all the recent problems with the virus attack have been sorted out but if anybody has a problem with the site please let me know on the office number or by email as soon as you can. Many thanks to all of you who have helped out so far with this nasty issue. Your support is greatly appreciated.
