Royal Street Crème is our bergamot vanilla black tea — a smooth Ceylon black with bright bergamot and soft vanilla, our New Orleans take on the classic cream Earl Grey. Elegant enough for a morning cup, easy enough for an afternoon iced tea latte. Caffeinated, with no added sugar.
It’s named for Royal Street and its iron galleries — the dressed-up blocks where the city slows down and looks good doing it. This is the classic in the lineup, balancing all that fruit with something a tea drinker reaches for every day.

Tastes like
Bright bergamot citrus and soft vanilla over a smooth Ceylon black base, with a creamy finish. Rounded and elegant — no added sugar, and the “crème” is a vanilla note, not cream.
What’s in it
Ceylon black tea, cornflowers, oil of bergamot, and natural flavors (vanilla). A caffeinated loose-leaf black tea — real tea leaf, no added sugar, no dairy. The creamy character is the vanilla flavor, not cream. Blended in the USA.

FAQ
Is Royal Street Crème caffeinated?
Yes. It’s a real black tea with moderate caffeine — a smooth morning or afternoon cup, gentler than coffee.
Can I make an iced tea latte?
Yes. Brew it double-strength, pour over ice, and add a splash of milk or oat milk. The bergamot and vanilla hold up well against a little cream.
Is it sweetened?
No. There’s no added sugar, and the “crème” is a soft vanilla note rather than cream or dairy. Sweeten to taste if you want.
