Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a 2-pound loaf pan (9x5-inch) with butter and line the base and sides with parchment paper.
Add eggs, sugar, and vanilla extract to a large bowl and whisk until pale and light, approximately 1 minute. Add the greek yogurt and oil and whisk until thoroughly combined.
Sift flour, baking powder, and salt into the bowl with wet ingredients. Then add the ground Earl Grey tea leaves. Using a spatula, fold gently until a few streaks of flour remain.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake on the center shelf for 50–55 minutes until golden brown, the sponge springs back, and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Cover cake with aluminum foil if it is browning too quickly. Cool cake in the pan on a wire rack for ten minutes, then remove from the pan to cool completely before glazing.
