Novus Sapphire Earl Grey Loose Tea Loose 250g

Novus, Award Winning Teas.

Novus Sapphire Earl Grey Loose Tea 250g is an award-winning loose leaf black tea that offers a beautifully fragrant twist on the traditional Earl Grey blend. Combining premium large-leaf Ceylon tea with aromatic bergamot and delicate blue malva flowers, this distinctive blend delivers a refreshing citrus flavour, subtle floral notes and a wonderfully smooth finish.

The Ceylon tea provides a bright, brisk character with gentle coppery undertones and hints of lemon, while the bergamot brings the unmistakable fragrance that makes Earl Grey such a favourite. Blue malva flowers add a delicate botanical touch, creating a balanced and aromatic blend that brews to a clear, golden amber colour. The loose leaf format allows the tea leaves to unfurl naturally during infusion, releasing their full flavour and giving you greater control over the strength of each cup.

Best enjoyed without milk or with a small squeeze of fresh lemon, Novus Sapphire Earl Grey is a lovely choice for a leisurely morning, a traditional afternoon tea or a refreshing break throughout the day.

Recipe Inspiration:

• Traditional Loose Leaf Earl Grey Tea: Add approximately one teaspoon of Novus Sapphire Earl Grey Loose Tea per person to a warmed teapot. Pour over freshly boiled water, infuse for 3–5 minutes and strain into cups. Serve without milk or with a thin slice of fresh lemon.
• Earl Grey and Vanilla Tea Latte: Brew a strong infusion of Sapphire Earl Grey, then combine with warm, frothy milk and a little vanilla syrup. The fragrant bergamot works beautifully with the creamy sweetness of vanilla.
• Earl Grey and Lemon Drizzle Cake: Infuse the loose tea in warm milk, then strain and use the flavoured milk in a classic lemon sponge cake batter. Finish with a tangy lemon glaze for a fragrant twist on a British favourite.
• Earl Grey Poached Peaches: Brew a generous pot of Sapphire Earl Grey and combine with caster sugar, vanilla and a little lemon zest. Gently poach halved peaches until tender, then serve with crème fraîche and a spoonful of the reduced tea syrup.

How much loose leaf Earl Grey tea should I use per cup?

A good starting point is approximately 2–3g of loose leaf tea per 200–250ml of water, which is roughly one teaspoon depending on the size of the leaves. For a stronger cup, increase the quantity of tea slightly rather than extending the brewing time too much, as prolonged infusion can introduce bitterness.

How many cups of tea can I make from a 250g pack?

Using approximately 2–3g of loose leaf tea per cup, a 250g pack will make around 80–125 cups. The exact number depends on your preferred brewing strength and serving size, making it a practical choice for regular tea drinkers and hospitality settings.

What are blue malva flowers, and why are they added to Earl Grey tea?

Blue malva flowers come from plants in the mallow family and are often used in speciality tea blends for their attractive blue-purple petals and delicate floral character. In Novus Sapphire Earl Grey, they complement the fragrant bergamot and bright Ceylon tea, adding a subtle botanical dimension without overpowering the classic Earl Grey flavour.
