What's in Royal Velvet — Decoded
🍵
Black Tea
East African highlands
Base · Antioxidants · Caffeine + L-theanine
The foundation of every Earl Grey. A full-bodied, malty black tea from East African highland gardens provides the structure for the bergamot to rest on. Rich in theaflavins and L-theanine — antioxidants and calm energy in every cup.
🍋
Bergamot
Calabrian citrus fruit
Aroma · Mood · Antimicrobial tradition
The defining note of Earl Grey. Bergamot is a citrus fruit from Calabria, southern Italy. Its essential oil has been used in aromatherapy for centuries for its mood-lifting and calming properties. In tea, it transforms a classic black cup into something unmistakably distinctive.
💙
Blue Cornflower Petals
European wildflower
Colour · Tradition · Subtle floral note
The blue petals scattered through the blend are not decoration — they are a centuries-old European tea tradition. Visually striking in the dry leaf, they dissolve gently in the cup, leaving a barely perceptible floral softness.
🥛
Natural Cream Flavour
Natural extract
Smoothness · Roundness · Comfort
The 'cream' in Cream Earl Grey rounds the bergamot's sharpness and adds a velvety body to the cup. It makes Royal Velvet smooth enough to drink without milk — though milk works beautifully too.
🍋Bergamot lift
Citrus aroma with traditional mood-lifting properties.
💙Floral elegance
Blue cornflower — centuries of European tea craft.
🥛Velvet finish
Natural cream note — smooth enough to drink without milk.
✦ Why Royal Velvet Works at Any Time of Day
Royal Morning is built for the early morning push. Royal Velvet is built for the in-between — mid-morning, afternoon, or a quiet evening moment where you still want a little caffeine structure. The bergamot lifts. The cream rounds. The cornflower reminds you that beauty in a cup is not frivolous — it is part of the ritual.
