Description
Organic Earl Grey with Character
Tatasse Plages du Débarquement Organic Earl Grey Black Tea brings together the depth of carefully selected black teas and the unmistakably fresh citrus aroma of bergamot.
Rather than relying on a single black tea base, this blend combines Chinese black tea, Indian Assam and Indian Darjeeling. Each contributes something different to the final cup: body and roundness from the Chinese tea, strength and malty depth from Assam, and a more elegant floral character from Darjeeling.
The black tea blend is complemented by organic bergamot oil and real bergamot peel, producing a distinctive Earl Grey aroma with refreshing citrus notes.
The result is an aromatic, structured tea that remains smooth and balanced enough for everyday drinking.
What Does It Taste Like?
Expect a classic Earl Grey profile with greater depth than a simple flavoured black tea.
The infusion offers:
- Rich black tea character
- Fresh bergamot citrus aroma
- Malty Assam notes
- Gentle floral notes from Darjeeling
- Subtle woody undertones
- Clean and refreshing finish
- Long-lasting aroma
It is an excellent choice for anyone who enjoys traditional Earl Grey but wants a more complex loose-leaf blend.
Three Black Teas in One Blend
The character of this Earl Grey comes from its carefully layered tea base.
Chinese Black Tea
Provides body, smoothness and rounded black tea character.
Assam Black Tea
Indian Assam adds strength and distinctive malty richness, giving the blend enough structure to stand up beautifully to the aromatic bergamot.
Darjeeling Black Tea
Darjeeling contributes a lighter and more refined dimension, helping balance the stronger Assam notes with a gently floral character.
Together, the three teas create a balanced foundation for the citrus freshness of bergamot.
Real Bergamot Character
Bergamot is the defining flavour of Earl Grey.
Tatasse combines bergamot oil with bergamot peel, giving the tea a fresh and naturally aromatic citrus profile that complements rather than overwhelms the black tea.
The result works particularly well for tea drinkers looking for an elegant everyday Earl Grey with a distinctive loose-leaf character.
How to Brew
For a balanced cup:
Tea: approximately 2.5 g
Water: 200 ml
Water temperature: 100°C
Steeping time: 3–5 minutes
Use a shorter brewing time for a lighter, brighter cup or allow the tea to steep closer to five minutes when you prefer a stronger black tea character.
The loose leaves need enough room to expand, so a tea infuser, filter basket or teapot works particularly well.
Enjoy It Hot or Iced
Although Earl Grey is traditionally served hot, this blend also works beautifully as iced tea.
For a refreshing summer drink, prepare the tea slightly stronger than usual, allow it to cool and serve over plenty of ice.
Try adding:
- A slice of fresh lemon
- Orange peel
- A little honey
- Fresh mint
- A splash of milk for a creamier Earl Grey
For an indulgent alternative, use it as the base for a homemade London Fog tea latte.
A Distinctive French Tea
Tatasse is a French brand based in Normandy, and the Plages du Débarquement presentation references the Normandy D-Day landing beaches.
Its distinctive packaging makes this tea particularly suitable both as an everyday premium tea and as a thoughtful gift for tea enthusiasts.
