Now available in our new, 100% plastic-free packaging! Find out more about this change here. As part of a full range review, we're also pleased to share that our Earl Grey, the same delicious tea as always, has now come down a little in price.
Our Earl Grey loose leaf black tea strikes the perfect balance between body and aroma, making it a deliciously fragrant cup for any time of day. Delicious with or without milk, or even with a slice of lemon.
A blend of a single-origin, Ceylon black tea base, from the remote Uva region in Sri Lanka, and natural Italian bergamot oil. The natural citrus and pine notes of this particular Ceylon, combined with the bergamot, make it delicately fragrant but with enough of the spicy hit of bergamot to make it a true Earl Grey.
Also available in 100% compostable, leaf tea bags here.
- Uva, Sri Lanka

Excellent service and quality tea

I’m a huge fan of Earl Grey and have tried many, but this is the one I’ll be buying from now on. So pleased you’re selling the big bags, too!

I’ve been buying from Good and Proper Tea for years, I highly recommend their Earl Grey and also the peppermint.

Good and Proper Earl Grey tea is very good quality with a strong, fresh flavour of bergamot. Delivered promptly and efficiently. This is my favourite Earl Grey tea, the best I have tasted.

OUR APPROACH
Quality
We work hard to find, taste and select exceptional teas, first and foremost looking for quality and flavour in the cup. We focus on single-origin, whole leaf teas where the character is a direct reflection of the area in which it is grown, as well as the craft involved in growing, plucking and processing the leaves.
There are an infinite number of teas being produced every year, so our role is to find and bring you some of the best. Our care in curating the range, as well as the quality of the product itself, has earned us both our customers’ trust and multiple Great Taste awards.
Sourcing
Not only does the tea need to taste good, it is also important to us that we know exactly where each tea comes from and who is responsible for harvesting and crafting the leaves we buy.
We work exclusively with trusted farms, co-operatives, partners and suppliers who share our values. We source from 13 growing regions around the world, always paying well above fair-trade prices.
Brewing
Sourcing and curating a collection of delicious, award-winning teas from around the world is only the beginning.
We then provide the knowledge and tools you need to help you bring out the best possible flavour in every cup when brewing at home.
As a team of passionate brewers, blenders, tasters, curators and, perhaps most importantly, drinkers of delicious tea, we get excited about helping you make a delicious cup of tea every time.
Packaging
We are committed to reducing any environmental impact our packaging has before and after use. There is no perfect solution so we focus on continuous improvement, always looking to keep it as minimal and natural as possible without compromising on the quality of our product.
We are proud to say that our entire tea bag range is now both fully compostable and certified 100% plastic-free, with our loose-leaf range soon to follow.
