The Tea
Our Earl Grey Superior is an iconically refreshing tea with beautiful citrus notes of Bergamot.
Earl Grey takes its name form a British prime minister, the second Earl Grey. It first appeared in the first half of the 19th Century. The origins of this blend are often disputed, with numerous stories all claiming to explain how it came to be.
To create its unique and iconic flavour, we blend Assam Tippy Golden Broken Orange Pekoe and Ceylon Orange Pekoe with organic Calabrian oil of bergamot for that signature citrus flavour.

Introducing El Salvador Finca El Ingenio
We’re often asked when the next new coffee is coming. The truth is, bringing a new coffee into the H.R.Higgins range is never rushed. It’s a process that takes time, care and a great deal of tasting.
Finca El Ingenio is the result — a distinctive coffee grown on a sixth-generation farm in El Salvador’s Ahuachapán region. Shade grown, Rainforest Alliance certified and honey processed, it offers bright grapefruit and lime, tropical fruit and a smooth fudge-like sweetness, with just a hint of funk.
