Frequently Asked Questions — Numi Aged Earl Grey

Where can I buy bulk Numi Organic Earl Grey in Calgary?

You can purchase professional 4-box cases (400 bags) at ChickenPieces.com. We ship directly from our local Calgary hub to hotels and cafes across Alberta, BC, and Saskatchewan.

What makes "Aged" Earl Grey different?

Instead of spraying the tea with oils, Numi ages the tea leaves with real bergamot for weeks. This allows the tea to absorb a deeper, more nuanced citrus flavor that doesn't taste synthetic.

Is Numi Earl Grey caffeine-free?

No. This is an organic black tea and naturally contains caffeine, providing a robust energy boost alongside its citrus profile.

How many tea bags are in a case?

This bulk case contains 4 boxes, with 100 bags each, for a total of 400 tea bags.

What is the best temperature for brewing Numi black tea?

For robust organic black teas, water at a rolling boil (100°C) is ideal to fully extract the malty Assam depth and bergamot aromatics.

What is the shelf life of the tea?

Individually wrapped bags have a shelf life of approximately 2 to 3 years. Store in a cool, dark place to maintain the organic citrus fragrance through 2026.

Are the tea bags compostable?

Yes, Numi uses compostable plant-based tea bags and recyclable outer wrappers, meeting the high sustainability standards of the 2026 market.

Can I use this for London Fogs?

Absolutely. Because Numi uses a strong Assam base, it is widely considered one of the best Earl Greys for London Fogs as the tea flavor isn't lost in the milk.

Is this product gluten-free and vegan?

Yes. Numi Organic Black Tea is naturally vegan and gluten-free.
