Williamson Tea is one of the only tea companies in the world that grows, processes, and sells its own tea - a family business with farms in Kenya where every leaf is hand plucked and pesticide free. Duchess Grey is exclusive to Williamson and grown entirely on their Kaimosi Tea Farm, beside the ancient Kakamega forest. The farm's teas have a particular combination of subtle strength and natural citrusy character that makes them the perfect base for an aromatic blend. Rather than standard bergamot oil, Williamson uses a bespoke citrus oil that gives Duchess Grey a more fruity, fragrant character than a traditional Earl Grey - a deeper, more rounded cup.
Elegant, tangy, and full-bodied with a lingering aromatic finish. The Kenyan single estate base is naturally bright and slightly sweet, which works beautifully with the bespoke citrus oil to produce something more complex than most bergamot teas deliver. The natural choice for Earl Grey lovers who want something with more fruit depth and less sharp citrus edge. Best without milk, though it holds up well with a splash.
If you enjoy Williamson Duchess Grey, our Scotch and Abram's Earl Grey is our take on the classic bergamot-forward cup - smooth, refined, and aromatic.
