Jackson's of Picadilly was for years the best for me, but I think that they are now Twinings. So it's Fortnum and Mason, when I veer away from Lipton Iced Tea, unsweetened; I'm really a coffee drinker, espresso, to be accurate.

Whatever the wife buys? This week the blend is Tazo.
Hey guys - SWMBO is a big fan of Earl Grey tea. But she's also someone who is frequently in a hurry, so she's not gonna mess with loose leaf options. Any recommendations for a pre-bagged Earl Grey tea that she can drop in a mug and pour the hot water over for enjoyment? We typically get whatever the grocery store has, but I'd like to get her something a bit nicer as a gift.
A lot of the online tea vendors have both loose leaf and bag options.
Bigelow Earl Grey.
If you're in Canada or the US, my favorite Earl Grey is Murchie's in Vancouver. They have flat rate shipping within Canada and the US.
If you go with their bagged Earl Grey, I would also strongly recommend getting some of their Storm Watcher black tea blend too. It is very good.

My wife likes Taylors of Harrogate, but it comes in teabags and looks a little too much like tea dust for my liking. But she thinks I'm crazy, so there's that.
Smith Tea's Lord Bergamot is a superb Earl Grey at a reasonable price.
I found that I like an Earl Grey that is less bergamot forward. I now have four samples from my go to tea supplier, Upton Tea Imports in Holliston, MA. I went with ones they described as lighter bergamot.

Ohh didn't know that, so no bergamot = black tea?
