Earl Grey ... the Amsterdam way.
Morning, afternoon or evening, this quality tea is delicious at any time of the day. Amsterdam Earl Grey is milder than the traditional Earl Grey and contains less tannin. It is a smooth and rich black tea that is perfectly complemented by the citrusy bergamot.
The Amsterdam Earl Grey tea has a delicate and fresh taste, with the perfect balance between the sweetness of black tea and the subtle citrus flavours of bergamot. This tea has a light body and bright colour. The aroma is subtle and inviting, making you feel like taking a sip. The taste is not too strong or spicy, but rather refined and balanced.
The strength of Amsterdam Earl Grey tea depends on the brewing time and the amount of tea you use. If you steep the tea longer than the recommended time of 3-4 minutes, the flavour may become stronger and more intense. It is important not to let the tea steep too long to avoid the flavour becoming too bitter. For the optimal taste experience, we recommend using 2 grams of tea per 200 ml of water and letting it steep for 3-4 minutes at a temperature of 95 degrees Celsius.
The Amsterdam Earl Grey tea from The Smallest House is a premium black tea blended with the finest quality bergamot oil. The tea is carefully selected and hand-picked to ensure high quality and freshness. The combination of black tea and bergamot oil makes this tea perfect for those looking for a refined and fresh taste. The tea is suitable to drink at any time of the day and is perfect to pair with a sweet treat.

Did you know that tea can also be wonderfully combined with savory foods?
I put it to the test with a delicious piece of old Cantal cheese, brought from the beautiful Auvergne in France. Cantal cheese has a strong taste. Spicy, slightly salty and with full tones in which a creamy, almost vanilla-like hint can be detected. Curious how it tastes in combination with an Oolong from Tanzania?
I know, the real wine purists will find what I'm about to describe a sacrilege... Chardonnay with a purple hue.
