At the Summer Fancy Food Show, The Republic of Tea is showing off new launches like its All Day Earl Grey collection, offering a modern take on Earl Grey teas by blending the essence of bergamot with unique flavors.
A standout of the collection is Whiskey Vanilla Fig Black Tea, a premium blend that pairs the sweetness of sun-ripened fruit with the sweet notes of caramel and vanilla, plus added smoky richness from whiskey. The Republic of Tea notes that "this tea is reminiscent of a fine drink that’s crafted as a non-alcoholic indulgence."
The Republic of Tea's new All Day Earl Grey collection also includes reinvented classics like Lemon Biscuit Black Tea, Strawberry Rhubarb, and Orange Marmalade in caffeinated and decaffeinated varieties.
