Our Earl Grey aperitif is infused with pounds and pounds of Earl Grey Tea leaves. The tea is sourced from Numi, our neighbors over in Oakland, who make it with Organic and Fair Trade Assam Black Tea and Organic Bergamot. To that, we added more bergamot peels to really make the flavors pop and add a touch more bitterness.

We infused everything in high proof spirits for a precise amount of time, a delicate balance to ensure we maximized extraction of the tea without pulling out too much bitterness or astringency. Tea is naturally high in tannins and bitterness (youll notice the soft, velvety mouthfeel) which we balance with cane sugar to smooth it out.

Tasting notes: Bright citrus and earthy, just like a rich earl grey tea.
