Description

Earl Grey
Earl Grey is named after the 2nd Earl Grey, who was Prime Minister of Britain in the 1830s. Legend has it that Earl Grey’s servants rescued an Indian Maha Raja’s son from a tiger. As a token of appreciation the Maha Raja sent the Earl a special tea, imported from Ceylon that was flavored with bergamot oil, extracted from bergamot orange. After receiving the gift, Earl Grey reputedly never drank tea without bergamot oil again. We have blended our Pure Ceylon high grown teas with the refined bergamot oil so that you can re-live Earl Grey’s enjoyment at any time of the day. This tea is particularly enjoyable after breakfast
