Our Elderflower Earl Grey combines the crisp, fresh taste of elderflower with its musky undertones with fragrant bergamot & black tea for a delicate but complex flavour.

Another of B&B’s new Earl Grey teas.
To the point I made in another tasting note earlier today, there seem to just be soooo many more floral tea blends in Europe compared with North America – and elderflower in particular was a flavour/ingredient we saw quite heavily!
My experience has been that, to the average North American palate, elderflower is not a very commercially well received flavour at all. However, personally I really like it so I was excited to see it used in this way. I think it works really well. The dry leaf is highly aromatic and very fresh, slightly citrusy and floral. A good mix of more heady florals/aromatics (ie. the bergamot) balanced by lighter, brighter florals.
Steeped it works out this way too. Medium to full-bodied black tea with a pretty typical amount of bergamot, but just highlighted by the fresh, bright and slightly sweeter and citrusy notes of the elderflower. Not too floral or heavy or perfumed. Quite well integrated. It very much feels like a more Spring-centric take on a classic Earl Grey. Of course, I would be very, very curious to see if someone less fond of elderflower than myself felt the same way…
I agree! It is difficult to find floral teas outside of plain rose here in NAm. Elderflower is delish!
