Numi Organic Aged Earl Grey Black Tea — 54 Compostable Bags, Real Bergamot & Bold Assam

Numi Organic Aged Earl Grey is a bold, high‑caffeine Assam black tea aged with real bergamot oil for a bright, rounded citrus finish—no artificial flavors or microplastics.

Made from hand‑plucked fuller leaves from the Tonganagaon estate in Assam, this Earl Grey is aged for weeks with true bergamot so the citrus essence becomes part of the leaf, not just a surface coating. The result is a smooth, balanced cup that stands up to milk or keeps its clarity over ice. Each tea bag and wrapper are designed with compostability and microplastic‑free materials, and sourcing supports Fair Trade and clean‑water projects at the farm.

How is this Earl Grey different from other bergamot teas?

Rather than adding bergamot flavoring at the end, Numi ages whole Assam leaves with genuine bergamot oil for several weeks, allowing the citrus to integrate into the leaf structure. The larger, hand‑picked leaves also release flavor more gradually, producing a rounder cup and less tannic bite than teas made from fannings or dust.

• Weeks‑long aging process for deeper, integrated citrus notes
• Fuller hand‑plucked Assam leaves for even steeping and smoother taste
• No artificial "natural flavors"—only organic bergamot oil

What does it taste like and how should I brew it?

The brew opens with a robust, malty black tea body and finishes with a clear, citrus lift from real bergamot. It’s lively enough to be enjoyed plain, yet sturdy enough to accept milk and sugar or chill well as iced tea. For best results, steep one bag in boiling water for 3–5 minutes.

• Flavor profile: malty Assam base with bright bergamot citrus
• Brewing guide: 1 bag, fresh boiling water, 3–5 minutes
• Serving ideas: plain, with milk, or brewed strong and chilled over ice

Are these tea bags and packaging eco-friendly?

Yes—each tea bag is made from manila hemp (Abacá) fiber and sealed using a crimp‑and‑knot method so no polypropylene touches your cup. Bags carry BPI Certified Biodegradable status and have been supplier‑verified free of added plastics and microplastics; outer wrappers are plant‑based and commercially compostable.
