Naturally Flavored Earl Grey from Sri Lanka
Earl Grey tea is a tea blend with a distinctive flavor and aroma derived from the addition of oil extracted from the rind of the bergamot orange, a fragrant citrus fruit.
The Earl Grey blend is named after the 2nd Earl Grey, British Prime Minister in the 1830s and author of the Reform Bill of 1832, who reputedly received a gift, probably a diplomatic perquisite, of tea flavored with bergamot oil, taken from bergamot, a citrus fruit typical of Southeast Asia and grown commercially in Italy.
According to one legend, a grateful Chinese mandarin whose son was rescued from drowning by one of Lord Grey's men first presented the blend to the Earl in 1803. The tale has no basis in fact, as Lord Grey never set foot in China and the use of bergamot oil to scent tea was then unknown in China.
Our top quality Earl Grey tea starts with premium flowery pekoe black tea from Sri Lanka. We add oil extracted from bergamot oranges and cornflower petals. Bergamot oranges are yellowish green in color and they're only grown in the Calabria region of Italy.
Our teabags are even in the "English" style, featuring no strings, tags or staples.
If you are a discerning tea drinker, you'll love this fine decaffeinated brew fit for a Brit.
