Frequently Asked Questions

While this tea shares Earl Grey's bergamot foundation, the addition of rose petals and lemongrass creates a lighter, more nuanced finish. The blend balances spice with floral freshness, making it feel both classic and unexpected.

How should I steep Beach House River City Grey?
Brew this blend at 200–212°F for 3–5 minutes using loose leaves or a strainer. Adjust time based on your preference for a lighter or bolder cup.
