Earl Grey Creme, Loose-Leaf, from Art of Tea, Photo © A Girl With Tea, CC BY 2.0.Virtually all countries that consume black tea have some traditions of blending or flavoring their tea. Flavored black tea blends are especially popular in Western tea cultures, especially in Great Britain, France, and the U.S.
In Western tea culture, common flavorings for black tea are fruit, especially lemon or beragmot orange (in Earl Grey tea), or rose petals. Among herbs, spearmint or holy basil are frequently blended with black tea. Chai, or spiced tea, a tradition that originated in India, is also usually made out of black tea, and is one of the most common forms of flavored black tea. Vanilla black tea is another common variety.
Because many black teas tend to have a robust, powerful flavor and aroma, they can be combined with strong flavorings which would easily overpower other types of teas. A British favorite is to flavor black tea with black currant, a berry or fruit with a strong, deep flavor. Black tea can also hold its own alongside strong herbs such as lavender. Black tea can also blend well with floral scents, especially the more powerful ones such as rose. Jasmine tea is less frequently made with black teas, but examples do exist.

Ciao Amaretto Tea from Mlesna Tea
Style: Flavored Black Tea – Region: Sri Lanka / CeylonFeb. 1st, 2026
Two things may factor into this rating, for full disclosure:
1. Not being a drinker of alcoholic beverages, I didn't know what "amaretto" was supposed to taste like, so I can't say how faithfully the tea replicates the flavor of the liqueur.
2. The tea comes from a light-colored, wooden gift box that's co-branded w...
English Earl Grey Black Tea from TeaVivre
Style: Earl Grey Tea – Region: Sri Lanka / CeylonJan. 22nd, 2026
Teavivre took a nice Ceylon black tea, added some bergamot oil, and then put it up for sale at a reasonable price. This is on the light and mellow side, with a good amount of bergamot flavor. Fruity and bright. I would say this as good a reasonably priced EG as can be found anywhere.

Vanilla Caramel Black Tea from Benner Tea Co
Style: Flavored Black Tea – Region: BlendJan. 19th, 2026
Vanilla Caramel Black Tea comes in holiday packs and advent calendars at ALDI, and is a decent drink for the price, as long as one oversteeps it according to conventional measures.
Upon ripping open the wrapper and sniffing within, the dry aroma was nearly nonexistent, with a faint hint of vanilla tea. This tempe...

Interesting tea, a step up from their standard Earl Grey flavor-wise, but hardly any aroma in-cup and almost none in the dry bag. The net effect rendered a slightly lower rating, though if given a rigidly binary choice between the two, I'd take this.
Revolution's version of this, with the same name, is still my fa...

Island Coconut Tea from Mlesna Tea
Style: Flavored Black Tea – Region: Sri Lanka / CeylonDec. 26th, 2025
I got this tea in a gift box, made of lightweight wood, stamped with both Mlesna's and Metropolitan's branding, and containing a brick of 25 small teabags (about half the volume of Celestial, Murchie's or other similarly square to rectangular ones) wrapped in a single foil-colored plastic wrapper. Even after looking a...
