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!ย
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.

Another lovely tasting tea

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

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!

Iโve tried many Earl Greys, this one was quite different to what Iโve been drinking recently (to be expected, itโs your unique blend). Really floral. I like it. Thank you.

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 tรoraidh an-drร sta ๐

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.

Weโre 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 weโve 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.
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 isnโt so I order it direct. Itโs 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 thatโs what they are?) itโs the prettiest cuppa ever.
