This Earl Grey is the kind of tea you can set and forget.

It's a safe call for breakfast service, and it holds its own in a London Fog.
Higgins & Burke Black Earl Grey Tea | 20UN/Unit, 6 Units/Case: Professional Grade for Canadian Food Service
Each tea bag comes individually wrapped, so what you open is what the customer gets. The Kenya, Ceylon, and Indonesia black tea base is sturdy enough to stand up to milk, sugar, or a pot of hot water on a buffet line. For staff, that means no measuring, no loose leaf mess, no guesswork on portion size.
Stocked by ChickenPieces.com at our Calgary distribution hub. Delivered Canada-wide, all 10 provinces and 3 territories, in 2-5 business days.
"We move a lot of this Earl Grey to cafés and hotels across Alberta. It's dependable, and operators know what they're getting case after case. My advice is to keep extra stock in the fall. When the weather turns, hot tea orders climb fast, and the last thing you want is to be waiting on a restock mid-week."
If you're running a café or hotel beverage program and want a tea that does more than sit in a cup, this one's worth a spot on the shelf. It works for standard hot tea service, but the real value shows up in specialty drinks. You can build a London Fog menu, an iced tea program, or just offer something better than the default option. Pair it with the rest of your barista supplies and you're covered.
Quality & Specifications
The blend uses black tea from Kenya, Ceylon, and Indonesia, with natural Italian bergamot oil for flavour. Each carton holds 20 tea bags with tags, individually wrapped for freshness. A full case of 6 cartons gives you 120 bags, which is easy to track for inventory.
Cafe Menu Applications
This tea covers the basics. Hot tea service for breakfast or afternoon. But it's built for milk drinks, so a London Fog or Earl Grey latte comes out smooth. It also makes a solid iced tea base when you're running a cold brew program.
Storage & Handling
Keep it in a cool, dry spot. The bergamot oil is aromatic, so store it away from coffee beans or anything with a strong smell. The individual wrappers protect each bag, so once you open a carton, the rest of the stock stays fresh.
Canadian Sourcing
The tea itself comes from Kenya, Ceylon, and Indonesia. But your supply chain runs through our Calgary hub. We ship to all 10 provinces and 3 territories, so you're not waiting on border delays or overseas freight for a restock.
