Novus Sapphire Earl Grey Tea x 100 Pyramid

Sapphire Earl Grey Tea

Novus Sapphire Earl Grey Tea x 100 Pyramid is an award-winning black tea that offers a beautifully fragrant take 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-led flavour with a smooth, elegant finish.

The Ceylon black tea brings a bright, brisk character with subtle lemon notes and gentle coppery undertones, while the bergamot adds the unmistakable floral citrus fragrance that makes Earl Grey so popular. Blue malva flowers provide a delicate botanical touch, creating a wonderfully aromatic tea that brews to a clear, golden amber colour. Each pyramid tea bag gives the larger tea leaves room to expand during infusion, allowing their natural flavours and aromas to develop.

Best enjoyed without milk or with a small squeeze of fresh lemon, Novus Sapphire Earl Grey is a lovely choice for a mid-morning break, a leisurely afternoon tea or whenever you fancy something a little more fragrant than traditional breakfast tea.

• Earl Grey and Honey Iced Tea: Brew two pyramid tea bags in hot water, then stir in a little honey while warm. Allow to cool before pouring over ice with fresh lemon slices and a sprig of mint for a refreshing afternoon drink.
• Earl Grey and Lemon Drizzle Cake: Steep two Sapphire Earl Grey tea bags in warm milk, then use the strained, infused milk in a classic lemon sponge cake. Finish with a lemon sugar glaze for a beautifully fragrant twist on a British favourite.

What makes Sapphire Earl Grey different from traditional Earl Grey tea?

Traditional Earl Grey is generally made by flavouring black tea with bergamot, a fragrant citrus fruit. Novus Sapphire Earl Grey adds blue malva flowers to the blend, introducing a delicate botanical element alongside the citrus character. The large-leaf Ceylon tea also contributes a naturally bright, brisk flavour that complements the bergamot.

What are blue malva flowers, and why are they used in Earl Grey tea?

Blue malva flowers come from plants in the mallow family and are sometimes included in speciality tea blends for their attractive blue-purple petals and subtle floral character. They complement the fragrant bergamot without overwhelming the black tea, giving Sapphire Earl Grey its distinctive appearance and botanical appeal.

Does Novus Sapphire Earl Grey Tea contain caffeine?

Yes, Sapphire Earl Grey is made with Ceylon black tea, which naturally contains caffeine. A typical cup of black tea provides approximately 30–50mg of caffeine, although the exact amount varies depending on brewing time and tea quantity. The addition of bergamot and malva flowers does not remove the caffeine naturally present in the tea leaves.
