Gneiss (Earl Grey Tea)
£4.00 – £7.00
Gneiss earl grey tea is delicious blend, sprinkled with cornflowers and topped with lighter notes. A perfect cuppa at any time of day.
Description
Gneiss Earl Grey has been inspired by a lighthouse! Gneiss is the bedrock of the Hebrides and Tiree gneiss was the intended building material for the Skerryvore lighthouse, but after the first three foundational courses the builders opted for softer Mull granite for the rest of the tower!
Like its namesake, Gneiss Earl Grey is a solid base for a great cuppa, topped with lighter notes.
Hints of: Dance tunes and bright lights.
Net weight 50g (20 teabags) | 25g (10 teabags)
Ingredients:
- Sri Lankan Black Tea (98%)

Another lovely tasting tea
Elizabeth (verified owner) –
As good as any Earl Grey that I have tried in the past. One bag makes a small pot of tea, so if you like your Earl on the gentle side, don’t let it steep too long.

A flavoursome Earl Grey
Seonaid (verified owner) –
Earl Grey is my favourite tea and I consider myself a discerning drinker of it! I took a gamble on this one as I never usually drink anything but the one brand but I’m glad I did. It matched if not surpassed it. Worth every penny!

Lovely taste, gentle and hits the spot!

Like drinking a lovely cup of flowers

Right amount of fragrance
Mairi Hedges (verified owner) –
I’ve tried many Earl Greys, this one was quite different to what I’ve been drinking recently (to be expected, it’s your unique blend). Really floral. I like it. Thank you.

A well balanced Earl Grey, not too over-‘flowery’.
Owen Dixon (verified owner) –
Delicious Earl Grey! An Earl Grey Plus, really – something extra in the flavour, which I really liked. And it’s smartly-presented, well-packaged and quickly delivered – impressive given the distance involved!
Rob Wherrett (verified owner) –
What’s not to like about the nice gneiss tea?
Laurence Wareing (verified owner) –
Packaging briliant again. This made such a lovely birthday surprise gift. The verdict is yet to be received on the taste, but we’re confident in the Tiree Tea product!

I’m more than happy to leave a further review for Gneiss! It’s the smoothest Earl Grey I’ve tasted, full bodied flavour too..very enjoyable.

The stories on each of the packets are also a great addition.
The strong flavour of the Gneiss tastes very natural.
I found out about your company through a video series on youtube about camping and caravanning in the hebrides. You were interviewed and were talking about tiree tea and the isle 20 website. A fantastic idea!
As long as you are willing to ship, I will continue to order Tea ! Tapadh leibh agus tÌoraidh an-dràsta 🙂

I’m loving the Ferry Berry Tea and used the remainder of a lovely pot of it to soak dried fruit for a Tea loaf. The aroma and rich taste is fantastic, ideal for Christmas baking.

I really enjoyed the flavour of this Earl Grey and have ordered lots more. I make it in my Tyrii Pottery teapot and will drink it while reading An Tirisdeach or taking a virtual tour of An Iodhlann. Thank you for creating a lovely brew and please don’t change the ingredients. ☕️👍

I’m not much of a tea drinker but this was a very refreshing cup of tea. The package was great, I could store it easily in the cupboard. Big tick for the biodegradable tea bags 👍🏼
Amy (verified owner) –
A special Earl grey tea which I savour mid morning instead of a coffee on my day off. EG is my everyday tea so lovely to have one with a more complex flavour to enjoy when I have a bit more time to do so.
Tracey R. (verified owner) –
I absolutely love this tea. A really sweet, delicate, blue flower earl grey.

Ooh, I do love a cup of really good Earl Grey every now and again. A real treat.
Susan (verified owner) –
We’re really enjoying your tea thanks, nice change.
All positive, just have to be really careful pulling the string off the bags as one or two times we’ve been too hasty and it makes a wee hole releasing the leaves. Love the presentation and ordered another couple of bags as a wee gift for a friend too.
Jane MacDonald (verified owner) –
Just love this tea! Great service on delivery!

Got my first bag as a gift, and have kept purchasing more online ever since! Definitely my favourite Earl Grey EVER. Appreciate the plastic-free tea bags. Hoping they’re be plastic free packaging in the future.

It’s absolutely fabulous. Once you try this tea you won’t buy any other tea. I’m hoping Tyree Tea will get an outlet in Stirling.

This tea was a gift and is really lovely, all the more enjoyable because it’s plastic, and therefore, guilt-free. Really like the packaging and the connection you feel with the producers. I’d love a Lady Grey variation too if that was a future possibility.
Jackie Cave (verified owner) –
Love this Tiree Tea found it when I was in Machrihanish. Loved it so much I tried to see if there was an outlet in Stirling where I could buy it. Unfortunately there isn’t so I order it direct. It’s absolutely fabulous try it for yourself you wont be disappointed.

If I could give gneiss earl grey six stars I would, the smell is fab but the flavour is the best earl grey Ive ever had and with the cornflower petals (think that’s what they are?) it’s the prettiest cuppa ever.

Personally, I don’t drink Earl Grey, but my wife does! She really likes Gneiss, enjoys both the flavour and the bouquet. She strongly recommends it, and that is enough for me!
