Hand Plucked
Tea Leaves
It all starts with hand plucked tea leaves from Ceylon & India. We source our tea leaves from multi-generational family farms which we've been working with for over 40 years.
Persian Choice™ Earl Grey uses the top 1% of each tea harvest. Teas in each harvest are graded based on color, scent, size, taste, & density. We only purchase the highest scoring tea leaves to blend in our Persian Choice™ Earl Grey. This dedication to quality ensures a consistently incredible cup every time.
Dried & Baked
Tea leaves are dried, rolled and baked to make a black tea. Persian Choice™ Tea leaves all go through a stringent evaluation and are tested after each harvest and batch to ensure the perfect balance of bold and strong bodied flavor.
Italian Bergamot
Only the best bergamot fruit makes the best bergamot oil. Persian Choice™ uses the finest Italian bergamot fruits from 8 different and distinct regions of Calibria, Italy.
Cold Pressed
Bergamot rind is cold pressed and cold filtered directly at source by 8 different, family owned bergamot producing micro farms.
