What is the difference between "Aged" Earl Grey and regular Earl Grey?

Most Earl Greys use oils or flavorings sprayed on the leaf. Numi ages organic Assam tea with real Italian Bergamot fruit for several weeks, allowing the leaves to naturally absorb the flavor.

Is Numi Aged Earl Grey tea caffeinated?

Yes. As a black tea-based blend, it naturally contains caffeine, providing a robust and aromatic energy boost.

How many tea bags are in a case?

This case contains 6 boxes, with 18 bags each, for a total of 108 tea bags.

What is the best temperature for brewing Earl Grey?

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

What is the shelf life of the tea?

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

Is the packaging sustainable?

Yes. Numi is a leader in sustainability; their tea bags are plant-based and compostable, and the outer boxes are made from recycled materials.

Is this tea gluten-free and vegan?

Yes. Numi Organic Aged Earl Grey is naturally vegan and gluten-free.
