TRAIL NOTES: The Definitive Morning Classic

When the morning air is crisp and the mountain calls, reach for a true classic: our Full-Leaf Earl Grey Tea. This isn't some dusty teabag blend—it's a single origin black tea that's handcrafted to remain in its beautiful, natural form, guaranteeing maximum flavor and smoothness in every cup.

It delivers a rich, clean black tea flavor that provides the dependable, reliable morning energy you need for a full day of hiking or adventure. Perfect for settling in around the campfire or starting a crisp morning on the trail, this loose leaf tea is simple, fresh, and exceptionally good. The combination of high-quality tea leaves and pure natural Bergamot makes this the ultimate citrus-infused brew for enthusiasts and adventurers alike.

The Story of Our Earl Grey: Quality and Tradition

The excellence of our Full-Leaf Earl Grey Tea starts with the foundation. Unlike generic tea blends that mix leaves from various origins, ours is built on a superior single-origin black tea. This focus on a single, high-quality source ensures a depth and consistency of flavor that mass-market brands simply cannot replicate, directly establishing our expertise in fine tea.

The Importance of Full-Leaf Tea

We insist on offering only the finest tea. When tea leaves are whole and minimally processed, they retain their natural oils and complex flavor compounds. This means that as the Full-Leaf Earl Grey Tea steeps, the flavor infuses slowly, developing a rounded character that is never harsh or bitter.

Broken, dusty "fannings" found in standard teabags release all their tannins and bitterness immediately. Our full-leaf Earl Grey ensures a smooth, refined experience that respects the historical tradition of this classic blend.

Flavor Profile: Bright Bergamot and a Smooth, Malty Foundation

Our tea offers a wonderfully smooth black tea foundation—malty, satisfying, and clean on the finish. The star of the show is the bright, unmistakable note of natural Bergamot.

This classic addition provides a vibrant, uplifting citrus aroma and a crisp, clean flavor that invigorates the palate. We use high-quality natural Bergamot oil derived from the peel of the Bergamot orange, rather than synthetic flavoring. This provides a genuine, bright citrus burst that complements the malty, rich base without overpowering your cup.

Tasting Notes

Black Tea Base Malty, Earthy, Cocoa-Like Smooth, Full-Bodied Dependable Morning Energy

It’s the ideal cup to enjoy black, or with a splash of milk and a touch of sweetness to enhance that creamy profile. This handcrafted Full-Leaf Earl Grey Tea is pure tradition, refined for your wilderness experience.

Brewing Your Perfect Cup

To unlock the full potential of the Bergamot aroma and the smooth black tea base, proper brewing is essential. Always start with fresh water and use the following guidelines for your tea:

  • Water Temperature: Bring fresh water to a full boil (212°F).
  • Ratio: Use 1 teaspoon (2 grams) of the Full-Leaf Earl Grey Tea per 8 oz. of water.
  • Steep Time: Steep for 3 to 4 minutes. This short steep time ensures the malty notes are extracted while preventing the tannins from becoming bitter. If you prefer a stronger, darker cup, steep for 5 minutes.
  • Enhancements: For an authentic English experience, add a touch of milk (or cream) and sugar. For a healthier option, a slice of fresh lemon complements the natural Bergamot citrus beautifully.

FAQ

Where does Lone Bear Coffee source its beans?

We meticulously source our beans from top-tier, quality-focused farms around the world. We feature three main regions: Guatemala (Huehuetenango) for our dark roast, Brazil (Minas Gerais) for our medium roast, and Costa Rica (Central Valley) for our light roast.

What is the philosophy behind Lone Bear Coffee?

Our philosophy is simple: Adventure Fuel. We believe the best cup of coffee is the one that powers your next adventure. Whether you're summiting a peak, setting up your basecamp, or just planning your next outdoor escape, our hand-roasted blends are designed to be the perfect companion.

Which roast is best for my morning ritual at the campsite?

It depends on your preference!

  • For a smooth, bold start: Try The Grizzly (Dark Roast).
  • For a balanced, easy-drinking cup: Try Basecamp (Medium Roast).
  • For a bright, vibrant, high-elevation boost: Try First Light (Light Roast/Daybreak Blend).
Can I use Lone Bear Coffee for a cold brew?

Yes! Our Basecamp medium roast is exceptionally popular for cold brew. Its balanced, low-acidity profile from the Minas Gerais region of Brazil yields a rich, naturally sweet concentrate perfect for packing on a long trip.

What is the difference between your three roasts (First Light, Basecamp, and The Grizzly)?

First Light (Light Roast): Bright, high-acidity, with complex notes—perfect for pour-overs. Source: Costa Rica.

Basecamp (Medium Roast): Balanced, smooth, and versatile—our everyday favorite. Source: Brazil.

The Grizzly (Dark Roast): Bold, smoky, and intensely rich—ideal for those who need a serious wake-up call. Source: Guatemala.

Do you offer both whole bean and ground coffee?

Yes, we offer both! To get the freshest taste and best results on the trail, we always recommend buying whole bean and grinding right before brewing. However, we are happy to grind your coffee for your preferred brew method (e.g., French Press, pour-over) if you note it in your order.

How do I keep my coffee fresh when camping or traveling?

Our bags are designed with a one-way valve to keep oxygen out and freshness in. Once opened, be sure to reseal the bag tightly and keep it in a cool, dark place. For longer trips, consider packing your daily portion in small, airtight containers.

When should I expect my coffee to ship after placing an order?

We believe in shipping the freshest coffee possible! We roast, grind, bag, and ship all orders within 24-48 hours of receiving them (Monday–Friday). You will receive a tracking number via email once your adventure fuel is on its way.

What makes your packaging suitable for the outdoors?

Our robust, sealed bags are designed to protect the flavor and aroma of the beans against the elements—whether it's the humidity of a valley or the cold of a mountain pass. They are durable, resealable, and pack down easily once you’ve brewed all the goodness.

Do you offer a subscription service for regular adventurers?

Yes, we do! Our subscription service ensures you never run out of your essential adventure fuel. You can customize your order frequency (weekly or bi-weekly) and easily change your preferred roast or delivery schedule anytime through your online account.
