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.

    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.

    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!

    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 🙂

    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.

    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.

    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.
