KUSMI TEA, a leading French premium tea house with a 150-year history, has released a new classic flavored tea, "Earl Grey Intense." It went on sale on April 6th.



KUSMI TEA continues to captivate many tea fans with its iconic recipes, created with a modern and innovative attitude while respecting tradition. This new release features the world's most beloved tea, "Earl Grey." The boldness and blending that maximizes the characteristics of the tea leaves resulted in the creation of an unprecedented recipe, "Earl Grey Intense."





The pinnacle of classic tea, “Earl Grey” is characterized by its bold flavor created by a blend of black tea leaves and bergamot.

It is known as one of the greatest masterpieces of flavored black tea, and many legends have been passed down about it. Some say the iconic recipe was born when Charles Grey, 2nd Earl Grey, British Prime Minister in the 1830s, accidentally dropped a slice of bergamot into his tea, while others say he brought the blend back with him from a trip to China.

But what's certain is that the subtle yet distinct freshness of the citrus fruits, capturing the characteristics of lime and bitter orange, blends perfectly with black tea. This dramatic tea with its many stories continues to be loved by many people today.




The new "Earl Grey Intense" refines the appeal of "Earl Grey," boasting a distinctive personality that is both bold and delicate. The rich black tea leaves are given a glossy finish by the eye-catching yellow lemon peel, and this coloring elevates the blend to an even more distinctive level. As the black tea with the most powerful bergamot aroma of any tea leaf offered by Kusmi Tea, it is sure to provide a unique and unforgettable experience.

The packaging features a combination of two contrasting colors, navy blue and gold, creating an elegant look. The gold lid hints at the deep flavor, and the eye-catching design makes it beautiful when casually placed on a tea table or kitchen rack, making it a great piece of interior decor.
